I think it speaks volumes about the internal workings of this company that my thread title scared them so much he had to change it.
Original Thread Title, "Is the next big Exodus upon us?"
Changed to "Goodbye" by Tarrant .. and he closed the discussion.
I've seen Drama Queen exit threads go on for pages but this one brought yup Update 3 .. was locked and the title changed.
That speaks volumes!

well, if you dislike something and say you will leave, it is counter productive to stay and rant off
Constructive criticisim goes farther than insults and things of that nature. Using a community discussion board to vent is kind of interesting like for jerry springer fans but whats the point?

So forum admins have to clean up the mess that players leave. Sometimes they do a good job sometimes not... what are you getting upset about?
The word Exodus can be interperted as a religious thingy (as it is mainly used in this contest), so it would be worth a look as a forum admin. Now i dont know what you wrote but i can imagine from the title that turbine doesnt want's its forum filled with that stuff.
No reason to be shocked... just write it out again in a less "offensive" manner and it will stay around, ain't that complicated.

It is just because update 3 was such a big failure... and it still is. At least we got that 20% xp bonus for all TR's we are gonna do! Oh, wait... They broke that and have no idea when it will be fixed. Yes, DDO has outdone itself with update 3! The absolute best! It is almost as if they have new developers that are fresh out of high school and only think they know how to program instead of actually having a clue. SWEET!
Now its like the ingame help!

Wow I'm still pretty much playing the same as I was before. Servers still firing up, nearly no lag, better graphics and few new things here, some changes (mild) there. Oh you don't like that one setting, DON'T use it. As for respecs, how long has one waited? Is that an easy button? I don't know, it'll get here when it gets here.

Actually, I dont think that they are afraid:) I think that he was telling you good bye.
In other words, if you dont like it and cant deal.....well, then leave. No skin off their back.
Good luck to you. Hope that you find something that makes you happy.
As a side note, there are some things that they have done that I really dont like, but meh......I'll either deal with it or I'll move on. Thats the way it works.
Not my first mmo, sure it wont be my last.

Naw, wasnt really my intent.
As I stated, there are things that they are doing that I really, really dont like. Although it is not a rampant searching on my part yet, I have been casually checking out other games to see if something interests me.
Eventually, they will do something to push me over the edge. He may be at his edge.
Something that I have figured out is that it really dont matter how much a person complains. Its their game and they are going to do what they want with it. No use in getting angry.
Anyways, I was correcting him. He seems to be making the assumption that they changed the title because they were afraid. I disagree. Look for yourself and come to your own conclusion.
I dont begrudge anyone who moves on. It happens. Happens all the time. Different people have different triggers.
For ME, although I find it annoying (and preventable if they really worked at it), I have become so used to buggy releases that it does not even phase me anymore. Its only a game and I can wait a couple days for them to fix it.
Did they botch this update up? Yep.
Here is prediction though. You can take it to the bank. They will also botch up the next one, and the one after that. They will then run around franticly trying to fix what can be fixed, take out what has no quick fix, and continue to move forward.
Its a game man. If I find that it is making me angry, well then that means that I have to much vested in something that does not matter in the least. Its a way to pass time, to escape the real life insanity, at least temporarily. If I find it is making me angry, well then I'm not really escaping anything am I?
Go onto Youtube and check out some of the people throwing temper tantrums because of a game. By repeatedly posting, the op is one step away from this...that we know of. Or he could have trashed his place in anger because they did something that he didnt like.
Its a game. Its not real. It dont matter.
Have FUN.

Lately Turbine has been more agressively moderating...especially vet threads....
But I'm sure you've noticed several goodbye threads from vets for that reason.

And provoking a discussion with you wasnt my intent. My intent was to tell the OP that he said he was leaving, then he should leave.
Not sure why youre giving me the lecture on why its ok to leave or why I should come to expect buggy releases.
