@Endtime: I think you've missed my point - Though not directly stated, what I'm saying is that criticism can be ok, but not in the form so many people are putting it in... It's not motivational at all to just have people say 'this game sux' with no reasons, or anyway to make it better. If people want to criticise - a motivational way of doing so is by saying 'I like this update, but I feel it could be improved by __________ and __________' even if you the update isn't your cup of tea - that is constructive criticism. It is put in a way that it'll be read, and they WILL listen, and be motivated to do what is stated if it's a good suggestion, because they are getting a positive and negative together, which makes things a lot more neutral and a much better way to state things.
At the moment people just say 'we want weapons, we want this and that', but the suggestions have had no thought put in to them, and are so vague. The Devs listen, give new weapons, and then get complaints that they are not what was wanted - I mean specify what you want in the first place, weapons were given as asked for, but if players don't specify what they want, then they won't get it. A good example of all this is people asked for more/another Physical Staff/s, this was granted.
Another thing, and the last thing I'm saying on this, is that if you start a post negatively and it's a long post, nobody is going to want to read it. I'm just giving advice on how to state things in a way that will get you listened to more.
The other thing is, yes, they are payed for making this game it is their job - That makes no differance what so ever to the point I made. When I talk to Titan he's always saying what suggestions he's read and looking for new ways to expand the game for you. I also know they do find it quite upsetting after they've worked incredibly hard on updates, and many people just post comments that aren't motivational, aren't constructive and generally just do not help at all - after I read through quite a few a few updates back, the term 'life crushingly depressing' sprung to mind, because they were more insults than criticism, and that's the point I'm trying to make. Using insults to get your points across will NOT work!
^^^Master Volcon's post is a good example :) Starts off with a positive then ends with a question (That also could be viewed as a suggestion) :D
