Not so much about the patch, but throwing some .02 in about the posting here. I know recently Derrick hammered down on the language in the forum. Judging by the posts in this thread, there is some more hammering to be done.
I know nobody can control how people act on the game, but they are very much 'controllable' on the forums. While complaint posts about the patch aren't really to be placed here, they are only needed to be redirected to the proper forum.
My beef is with the borderline flaming posts which can very easily be interpreted as "If you don't like it: leave". The point of the forums is for discussion and, while complaints can easily sound whiny, this is the nature of those posts. It does not excuse the so-called veterans to taunt them, and tell them they should leave. It is detrimental to the community. It adds nothing of value to the threads. It is flaming and griefing.
Players cannot be forced to play a certain way, but forums can and should be kept in line.
Edit: IRC can also be kept in line. There are infinite ways players can create private channels to communicate under a 'don't join if you don't like it' policy. But people who flame in the main channel should be held accountable the same as if they were posting or causing grief in game.
