I most respectfully, completely disagree.

There's a difference between bugs and feature requests/balance issues, if I make attempt to paraphrase at how I read the intent of your statement.

Bugs are for the most part black and white, but there is some grey. To pick on Mr. Doug Thompson, I noticed in another thread he stated that he believes that by and large quite a few of the bugs reported so far are not bugs. My apologies Doug if I misquoted you here, no disrespect or malice intended. I must respectfully disagree with that also, by and large most of the bugs I have seen reported are what I firmly believe to be bugs. Some have been matters of taste yes, but many are bugs. By and large, the QA process should have detected quite a few of the bugs that have made their way into our beloved initial release. I still firmly believe that the QA folks probably DID find a lot of these, and upper management knowingly released the game in the condition it's in. Whichever it is, in general the most obvious ones tend to pop up quickly on release, and some of the harder to find bugs tend to crop up shortly thereafter.

Quickening, if I may take your meaning, I believe that your comments are directed towards the 2nd category, feature requests/balance issues. So far for M2TW, I'm half agreeing and disagreeing with you as a matter of my personal taste. I've seen some suggestions that I think are great, like the inquisitors being overpowered, assassins being underpowered, charges being bugged, etc. Others I think are horrid, such as the suggestion that micromanaging charges is a good thing, if that is indeed CA's intent to make it as such.

Also please consider that there is some gray and uncertainty. Take the inquisitors for example, I listed that as a feature/balance issue, but is it really? Perhaps they really are intended to be as powerful as they are, and people (for the most part as I've seen, me included) don't like it and want it neutered. Perhaps it really *is* broken, and due to bad code they're far more powerful than they should be. Which is it? Bug or feature?

Cheers!
