We're going to disagree a lot, so we can either make this thread really long, so all the cheerleaders can throw their 2 cents in, or we can take it to private email. Its completely up to you.
Call it elistist, bad taste (note the spelling, thank you) or whatever. Every company does things their own way. As a customer of your program/service, I have just as much a right to cry foul at what I feel are incredibly assinine problems. Customers, like it or not, are allowed to complain. You can shrug it off, accept it, or, entertain a discussion on why I feel that way.
You claim elitism, I say bull feathers. Again, we can mud wrestle here or in private email.
Your opinion in no way takes into account the different needs of software based on it's industry.
I think quality testing is essential in any application sold to the public.
Btw lets take your tree example. We beta tested the clutter. Did you see even one post of trees at the end of the runway beeing a problem?
That was with at least 300 people testing it.
Yes, I saw lots of people posting about trees at the end of the runway being a problem. In the General Discussion and Bugs areas. However, you fixed that in patch 2. If I'm so out of line, and you had 300 people claim no problem, why'd you fix it?
Ah ha, so perhaps it was an overlooked issue?
Now if you would wrather us take 6 months to a year for releases, and 1 month to release a bug patch, we could play it your way.
I would wrather continue with the methods we currently use.
Oh sure, rile up the community will ya. Your development cycle is completely up to you. I enjoy the new updates like all your other customers.
Its the testing before the product hits the public I question. And again, we can ram heads on that in private email, if you are up to it, and/or care to discuss our differing views in a respectful manner.
Again, overall I enjoy the game. There are just some issues, like 1.08s release, I find maddening. If you want, again, we can chat privtely.
