    I think that modders should make it very clear that the mod is still in beta phase and that the bugs are still being ironed out. Or when the modders release the mod as completed then they should test it properly before releasing it. I know pretty well how much time goes into a mod, but IMO that argument can be overused. Normal players expect a working mod, not even more bugs, and if numerous patches for obvious problems arrive within the first week then somebody hasn't done his job properly.
    Thats a good point Duke John. Expectations are usually lower for mods in that they are 'labors of love'.
