I'm sorry, we let you down

[Axison]

Also sad to see that if you support HQ/Dev team and show some respect you are suddenly called an asskisser whilst others run around complaining all day about developers spending their free time to make something for them. Simply ungrateful.

There is a crystal clear difference between asslicking and respecting somebody. Developers should also not make empty promises if they don't want to hear people's complaints.

Thank you for your concerns. We will take it into account while scripting our ass off, sleeping 6 hours per night, taking care of college to get a degree and doing IRL work to provide in our basics needs of food and rent.

When your friend loses someone close to them do you go and support them or laugh at them and tell them "Oh well too bad, they were shit anyway"?
Just because the developers are not paid to do a job does not mean they aren't putting effort in to it. They are making something for the players to make use of.

Oh no a date was missed because people had actual paying jobs and studies to attend to, your life is now over?

I guess you can't "support" developers because they had their own lives to attend to between working on a script for players.

No one is forcing you people to work. This shit shouldn't be your top priority. Holy shit, you guys are really sensitive.

I could give two shits about who's developing what. I have a life and spending my time on an online gaming community is not even the least of my priorities.

Thanks for saying that, in that case you don't need to have forum posting access for a month. Do enjoy our zero tolerance policy that is in effect once again.
And whilst you want to publicly shame the developers I shall return the favor, you were in the QA team until last night yet helped with nothing so don't just point the blame on scripters.

Alot of people hate developers because of their profanity used against others, because they're developers, and because they can I guess? Anyhow, well, It wasen't released in Feb, nor March.. Okay, is it possible for you guys to let us know on the progress every weekend?

Horrible analogy, don't compare death to a missed deadline.

But this whole conversation is amusing from both parties, it's a missed deadline on a free project you were doing, it isn't a big deal.
And on the developers side complaining about losing sleep over this.. GO GET SOME SLEEP! What are you doing! It is a free project, people here will forget the deadline was missed in like 25 minutes anyway, don't lose sleep over this.

And to @Jeremy. telling me I'm kissing ass, nahh, don't ignore the balls.

If you mute people for criticism, it means you have no arguments.
Show me any release of any siftware that was never delayed.

A delay does not mean the developers are bad or did not work enough. It means the opposite, that they care enough to want things to be as close to perfect as they can get it. Those who remember the release of 5.0 should be grateful the developers wish to take more time.

I have plenty arguments however I fail to see the necessity to pollute the forum with arguments that push players away from the community.
Don't air your laundry in public view unless you plan on chasing away customers.

Better late then never.
I understand people have lost their patience about RS5.2, but if you want it to be bug free then show some more. We, 5.2 testers and devs are doing the best we can to make it ready for release as soon as possible.

We must add our effort with productive posts instead of that classic blame-game which brings nothing but strokes between members within community.

Being critic in Argonath is welcomed as far i know but i don't find nothing that helps any part to solve the matter.


What HQ & Dev Team are thinking to solve this case?

Shouldn't the QA team face consequences for not accomplishing their "duty"?

Will HQ design a stronger policy for the new recruits or even current testers?

My idea is focused in a obligated daily report form regarding their activity. The days they can't join they must notify before, possibly with a justification.

Let's focus.

People have been already removed for inactivity.
