You know though, in all fairness I don't think the complaints about Beta were about the bugginess, moreso about how little had changed between the previous version and the Open Beta. I mean, sure, there were some complaints about bugs, but it was mostly that something like two years had gone by with honestly nothing added. Coming from the Alpha versions myself, I was a bit surprised that in that huge time span there were few (if any) features added. Then again, it was a Beta, and I know nothing of game development, time cycles, etc.
But I do always find the differences in the story between the devs and the community about why the Open Beta was a bad idea somewhat humorous, since the only real consistency was that it was a bad idea.
All that being said, again, I know little about programming, modelling, or modding, and I appreciate all the hard work these devs do, and for free at that. Keep up the good work.
