Clue#1:
We are not blind. We can see what you are doing; it shows up in three or four 'features' you add per update, their impact in terms of the several new bugs that arrive with them, and the numerous old bugs that resurface with each update. I am sick to puking with reporting bugs, watching as they become 'known issues', at which time they take on the aspect of 'game character' and I'm then expected to live with them, workaround or no, ad-infinitum.
Clue #2:
Live help needs to get on this train before anyone else. Everyone there is either inept, uninformed, or sworn to secrecy, in order of likelyhood; and having the last name 'Linden' as a live helper means nothing more than you're some Linden's favorite, if the level of support is any indication.
Clue #3:
This is a biggy. If the build bugs dont get the top priority of the dev team, the builders will go away. Thats me. So much for a user-built world. Three updates ago, I submitted several reports about spontaneously delinking linksets and disappearing prims; I was told that it might be a bug, but most likely was a user error. Two updates ago I subitted photographic proof; as of the most recent update, its an acknowleged problem. Before this last update, I was assured by a live helper (who knows whether it was a Linden; seems they've taken to masquerading as voulunteers on live help), that these issues were addressed in the upcoming update. And guess what - it was either an outright lie; or, the individual in question is clueless; or, the dev team was too busy screwing up the inventory system EVEN WORSE than it had been previously, or, who the hell knows. I can tell ya this - its broke, its been broke, and it seems that nobody at ll gives a shit. Geuss I'll watch for it on the 'known issues' list.
Clue #4:
There are LOTS more problems I could go on and write a book about at this point. Lag so uniformly bad throughout the world that I can barely move with a naked avatar; textures that still havent loaded after almost an hour; the map that didn't load its texture for an entire day.
Here's how its going to go. After wednesday, I'll test the new client, if there is one. If any of the problems I mention are still extant, I'm gone. Thats me and three other of my avs; half my family will follow me out (the half that didnt log out for good a month ago), and many of my friends; many of them appear to be gone already.
Fix it or else.
Screw this crap, its so bad that I need a first life in order to find an escape from this one.
