When we spend time working with the community to help them create really cool tools like this sadly it gets seen as us being lazy, rather than going out of our way to work with the community.
We'd like our jobs to be satisfying, and while we love working with the community on map creation, mod tools and other stuff to have that investment we put into it be seen as us not doing our jobs kind of sucks.
Which is a shame because Pingtoft did a really great job on this and we're glad to have worked with him.
In my opinion, it is a perfect division of labour that Relic focuses on the essential stuff while those in the community so able and inclined have the opportunity to contribute with nonessential features.
For what it's worth, having staff access here on coh2.org I am somewhat better informed than most of the community and I see the dedication and effort of the developers, and the fact the some people can bitch and moan while patches are released every month pretty much on the hour is beyond me.
Hetzers gonna hetz, as the saying goes... (Where is complexity, anyway?)
