Can someone please explain why it would appear, that in order to get a patch for a game that I pay for, I am forced to use third party software and bandwidth? (and no I'm not going to use BT, I fail to why i should have to)
Both the http links and auto-patching are d/l at stupid rates, totaly unacceptable. Scratch that, they all just ground to a complete halt.
I can't even see that you've mirrored any of the patches to reputable d/l sites and I'm not going to d/l from someones ftp that I've never heard of.
Do you think the likes of SOE et al would make their paying clients use something like this?
Is it really much to ask for, to come to the games website and be able to click a couple of links and get a reasonable d/l speed and get on and play the game?
(oh and fanbois don't bother with the flames about why I should use BT, after all you'll have missed my point completly) |

I was busy yesterday, it's a thing called RL...
And I've stated why I don't want to use it. I fail to see why I should have too. |

Give me a good reason as to why I should use third party software and bandwidth to download a patch for a game that I pay for.
Other than 'but you'll get the patch now' there isnt one.
I fail to see why a service provider for a product can't allow for enough bandwith to d/l a patch from it's own servers or get them mirrored to reputable sites.
This is just like the farce experienced by people that bought the retail version of HL2, but could use it because steam fell over. |

You don't have to, but it's an option they've given to you. If you're not going to consider using it, then you don't have a reason to complain about it.
Yes I do, the other options provided aren't working. What if I was at a Uni that blocked the BT port/s? |

Did I ask you to care? Was I speaking to you?
I assume, actualy no I don't assume, I know that the devs read this forum. Therefor I was voicing my complaint.
If you don't care why have you responded? |

if you dont like it QUIT.
Better for everyone else.
patch days always filters out the complainers/whiners/idiots, I love it. Good work CCP.
Yep that's right I'm complaining... GOD forbid that someone on the planet take a different view over something from you... So therefor that makes me an idiot
Hmmm and it's not like I've been through every other patch day without complaint. So please if you have nothing constructive to add don't bother posting. |

Your complaint comes from your own lack of forethought and lack of flexibility.
You made your bed, now sleep in it.
Maybe lack of flexability - yes, But care to explain the forethought? If I couldn't be near my PC to download it was I supposed to put my life on hold?
Please, we'll stop this right here. No one actaully understands the point I'm driving at, so further discussion is pointless. |

Yeah very nice Josh, see that?
No point in further replies, I know when mob rule is against me and admit defeat.

Eris do me a favour and lock this before the rest of the troll patrol turns up and posts without bothering to read and think. |
