I could not agree more. I don't doubt that the people that are complaining actually believe that the game is buggy, but most of the complaints seem to be about things that aren't working out for them (assassins, inability to counter certain units, etc.). The two most common characteristics about complaints that I have seen have been:

1. I have not had any similar experience.

2. they all seem to be of this nature: my assassins aren't good enough, I can't kill these horses, my horses get killed It's hard to hold the Holy Land, the inquisitors are impossible to handle.

I may be oversimplifying, but these problems don't sound like bugs to me. Especially since I have experienced none of these issues as being unmanageable.

*I find that keeping in good favor with the Pope keeps inquisitors away; Build Churches.

...and they can be killed.
