The overwhelming majority of people who can't play a game for what it's worth is just baffling. And I don't mean the n00bs. This goes far beyond the n00b gene and affects even the most reasoned of persons - reasoned, at least until they open their mouth.
But the fact remains. Aside from the knowledge that a game is built from lines of programming code, very few have even the slightest idea of what may be going into the head of a game developer when he incorporates a feature in his game. While he puts the last semicolon on his code, saves, stretches and drinks a good sip of coffee to reward himself, you guys stand there with your mouths wide open and thinking "ummmmmmm y did u do tat to ur game tis is st00pid lol"
That phrase can come from several different types of people. Especially in the event where a game chooses not to release a particular game item.
THE GUILT TRIPPER
Those guys believe in the self-righteous doctrin that everything that happens to them is someone else's fault. They don't crash servers because they're purebred stupid motherfuckers - they do it because the company that runs the servers wasn't smart enough to protect their stuff. They believe it's the company's own damned fault if they don't have enough protection from hackers. Apparently, that clears the charges.
Doubting me, mister crash? I kill a bystander because the police wasn't there to stop me. I blow up a building because society wasn't smart enough to restrain me. I punch my own mother because she was just too weak to block my fist. I kick someone in the balls because it's his own damned fault that he has sensitive parts and they're covered by nothing more than a band of skin. I kill the president because it's his fault he didn't wear a bulletproof vest.
Sounds stupid? Well, hey, you're on the same mentality, so I guess joke's on you. And I guess it's my fault for hurting your feelings and telling you that you're doing is wrong, and because I hurt your poor little feelings, you're gonna go out and try to kill me. Go right ahead and try. I could use the entertainment, bitch.
THE IRRESPONSIBLE DUMBSHIT
This guy doesn't do anything per se but his presence alone is enough to make your blood boil. The ID (for short) believes that cheating is part of the game, so he accepts it and even embraces it, even if he gets scammed and stolen from all the time and sees the same thing happening to people around him. But he doesn't care, because cheaters, scammers, hackers and other death-deserving idiots are part of life and its cute little butterflies.
I steal your house, your identity, your bank account, all your holdings, I marry your wife, I send your kids to slave labor in Cambodia, then I tie you up, stab your limbs ten times, wait fifteen minutes and then kill you. I've just become a rich, happy man and you died like a dog. Now try telling me that was part of the game too.
That's right. You see injustice but you're too much of a pussy to speak against it.
THE MATERIALISTIC ZEALOT
This one believes everything has a use. If it doesn't, it has no reason to exist. And this is exactly why he can't comprehend that RPG items can sit idle, unreleased, while so many things could be done with them! Why in the whole wide world would a game developer create an item and make it unavailable? This is stupid! This is treachery! This is blasphemy! This is an affront to God, nature and everything that exists!
Ever thought that maybe those items were supposed to be released... later? Ever thought that they were supposed to be a special reward at the end of a poignant and fabulous quest? No, of course you didn't. So you got the weapon, which isn't even that cool, and you think "yay, i hav teh weapon, tis is cool, lol!"
Here comes the news train, be sure to stay between the tracks: thanks to your stupidity, these items may never be released. Because you decided to release them before the company would. So the company said "To hell with those releases, they can't appreciate them." You guys don't really inspire game developers to make special quests when you actively thwart their attempts at planning one out. They said "Let's put the weapons in the game right now, this way when we release the special quest, we'll have to send just a small patch instead of re-releasing the big weapons database file." Then they said "Man, we set the foundations for a nice quest, and that's how they behave? Screw it."
These are the type of guys who play Monopoly and declare that landing on the Free Parking space gives you 500 bucks instantly. Guess what. Open the rulebook. There's a big huge title called FREE PARKING. There are SEVERAL LINES OF TEXT THAT REPEAT OVER AND OVER: FREE PARKING DOES NOTHING. NOTHING AT ALL.
You couldn't fathom that happening because that would mean the world would collapse around you. So here's the result. I really wish I could find a 500$ bill everytime I went to the mall and parked my car. I really do. But this won't happen. Not now, not ever. Lock yourself in your room and starve to death instead of trying to invent rules and reasons that make no sense.
Maybe you should try playing Albatross18 then. In this game, stuff that isn't released isn't even incorporated in the game. You couldn't find them even if you tried to. There's no code. Nothing. No hint of those unreleased items. Instead, they send out a bigger patch, thereby overwriting the entire item database. I hope you have fun killing yourself after you look for stuff you know should exist but isn't on your computer.
the spoiled kid
I wanted to find a better name for these no-good, hellbound, inconsiderate little shits, but I guess that'll do for now. The sk has almost the same mentality as the Materialistic Zealot, except for two things: one, the sk's name does not deserve to be capitalized. Two: the sk wants the item not because it should be part of the game. He wants it because it's UBER SUPER COOL AND IT'S UNRELEASED, SO IT HAS TO BE COOL. He wants it this instant. NOW. RIGHT NOW. Not in a week. Not in a day. Not in an hour. Not even in one second. He wants it:

What happens when they don't? They bitch, they whine, they say the game developers are stupid, they call them names, they flame them by E-Mail, they do anything in their power to force them to release the items RIGHT THIS INSTANT or else they'll throw a whiny kid temper tantrum that is guaranteed to get you five across the eyes, courtesy of yours truly. And get ready to have me come back for seconds.
I also forgot to mention that the sk lacks reason, or any thought process for that matter. According to him, his word is the word of God, because he gets anything he wants and that's the way it'll go for his entire life, or so he thought. The big wide world's gonna be harsh on that little boy. I wanna see his reaction next time someone says "You can't have that." I think he'll decimate his hometown in a nuclear explosion.
There you have it. Four types of idiots, who all let the same thing happen for different reasons - four different wrong reasons. No buts, no ifs, nothing at all. You can't argue. I'm not making a guess, I'm making a prediction, and I believe my prediction is pretty damned accurate.
If you're not part of these four types I just described, then bravo! Unless I forgot some obscure form of mental retardedness, you are probably a model online player who likes to have fun with his friends, play a leisurely game, and hold his own in a battle. I look forward to playing with you.
