Would you pay to have GGG focus exclusively on fixing the game issues but no new content?

The utter vitriol I see in many posts would cause some very negative repercussions if the posters acted this way in the real world. Because people think they are anonymous, they suddenly get very brave and are willing to spit in other people's faces.

This is sad and disgusting.

There are business studies that show a small percentage of customers are not worth having. They will cost the business far more than they will ever bring in.

Kinda off topic, but I feel this bears repeating ad infinitum.

Being a three time business owner that's nothing new.

I'll also add however that it's a privilege to have patronage and not a right.That needs to be earned like trust.
Happy to pay now and then to have them carry on as they are.

Patronage?
We have no right to be heard or have a say just because we like something enough to sponsor.

No right to be heard for sure,but every right to speak.

And if a buisness wants continued patronage and sponsorship it's wise to listen to what patrons have to say,good,bad and ugly.

The only game issue I can think of, aside from certain Gem/Balance issues, is Desync. And to me, Desync has become something of a beloved mentally challenged cousin. I barely notice it anymore, mostly because I don't play like an idiot, maybe seeing it once or twice in 5+ hours.

It's not as big a deal as it was before, so I'm in no rush for it to be "fixed", knowing how hard/long it'd take to fix, all things given.

I'd rather get more new Uniques and new [non-Vaal] Skill Gems. :P

tl;dr: Chris pls, pls Ball Lightning chaebal! :3

Yep let's just go ahead and ignore the fact that certain builds are substantially more or less prone to desync regardless of caution, and not worry about the issue for now because YOUR build happens to be ones that is less prone. (And don't even try to claim you only desync once every 5 hours with a desync heavy skill).

Game has crippling flaws
Player adapts style to game to minimize effect of flaws
Game now has no flaws
Anyone attemtping to play the game in any other way is an "idiot"

I think Russel was talking about the financial availability. Most of the original development team had to borrow from family to get this started.

I couldn't imagine asking my mom for 20k to put towards purchasing a license for a game engine.

Besides the learning curve of designing your own far outweighs using someone else's.
