You know, I'm not sure whether or not official peoples are reading this, but on the off chance that you are - I hate you and your company so very much for effectively robbing me. Every 6 out of 10 score is feeling far too generous right now, since, reviewers at least get to play, review and move on. I'm one of those hopeless optimists who's still being anally raped by your design decisions and shitty support.
I love to play games and usually bring a cross-game clan of about 8 players with me between L4D, WoW, EQ2, Killing Floor, TF2, Modern Warfare, etc... I've told them all to steer clear of this game, despite initially having my 3 core players laying down pre-orders to get it on Australian release.
As with many forum members above, I'm enduring the same inexcusable issue. You suck. YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK. It blows my mind just how suckful this support is and I pray to some divine karmic being that the demonspawn responsible for your peer to peer design decision and online infrastructure is currently begging for foodscraps.
I haven't ranted on a game's website since the colossal spin campaign of lies that Peter Molyneux wove around Black & White... lies so dark and all encompassing that other archons of evil like John Romero, George Lucas and Cthulhu watched in awe born of fear and admiration. You have joined the ranks of Molyneux. I hope you're happy.
