Consider the kinds of topics you meatheads are talking about. "Should crafting be included," "should you be able to turn traitor," "what should armor look like," "what kinds of guns should they include," et cetera ad nauseum. Well, guess what! Your opinions are TOO LATE.

The odds are a thousand to one that everything you chuckleheads are debating HAVE ALREADY BEEN DECIDED. And what hasn't been hammered down will be sorted out/changed in the testing phase.

I've seen it before a thousand times. A game is announced. Fansites go up. The forums are filled with meaningless speculation until the game (or at least the beta) comes out, at which point, months of babble are immediately revealed to have been an exercise in uselessness, with no purpose beyond maintaining interest in the game.

Developers are NOT cruising the forum to see what YOU think about racial abilities. They are very creative people, and they have their OWN ideas. And unless THEIR ideas don't work, THEY WILL IMPLEMENT THEM. Hell, even if they DON'T work, they'll probably implement them anyway.

Does that mean that this site should be shut down? No. But instead of speculating, opinionating and obsessing over game mechanics that no member of the general public knows about, focus on talking about things you DO know ... AND finding out as many HARD FACTS as you can about the game. This should satisfy your fanboy impulses without being a complete waste of bandwidth.

The immoral of the story here is simple: Don't be stupid.
