Lastly, whatever I upload here in the future is my prerogative, I don't do requests. Go satisfy your own hunger.

I got an idea, start your own training series or whatever if you think you're all that, Mr. Big Shooter. Lets see what you got. But be aware, I am highly advanced in dangerous waters, and there is absolutely nothing you can tell me that I don't already know six ways from Sunday.

Whatever. We're done here - Thank you for playing my missions.

Why are you so severely hostile?

No matter what you create, feedback and criticism is a part of it.
If you can't handle it, don't share things, really.
His words might not have been the most diplomatic, but the wasn't trashing it or rude or something.
Also, offense is taken, not given. Grow some skin.

It is one thing when you receive completely nonconstructive criticism, sure, but even then, just ignore it if it is of zero value.
Otherwise, be glad you get feedback at all? Others create missions and never know how it was received.

My 2 cents (as a mission designer as well).

Hostile? I'm just keeping it real.

These mission were not created to be a demonstration in mission building, multiplayer exercises, or anything complex, or anything to impress. They were developed for a very specific market in mind, and that was made perfectly clear in the disclaimer. I even went out of my way to warn players before hand not to expect very much. So the fact someone feels the need to complain that they weren't complex enough, and that they are "harmful", and I need to Please stop with "training missions" and do something more complicated for SP or MP modes. That's not a critique of the missions, that's being rude, and I'm going to rightly push back on that. Fact is these missions were headed to the bins until another forum member thought someone would like some throwaway missions to play with. That was it. To generate some activity in this dead forum. Totally and completely irrelevant to me anyone likes them or not. Its the rude attitude, obviously expecting more than was offered. The complaints are silly, or unfair as someone else put it. Criticize the missions sure, but don't get mad because you got exactly what was told to you at the very outset.
