Well in order to understand this you have to study the mind set of the Fan-boy.
Fanboys love a game no matter what. They do not listen to reason and are very illogical when it comes to the game they have fixated themselves on. They elevate the game to a god like status and any criticism of the game they will attack. Criticism of their game is a personal affront to them and they can be quite nasty in it's defense (sounds a little like religion.)
Fanboys can be found in all games. They use illogical arguments to defend their position even to others that also see the potential in the game but point out flaws...
Then there is the flip side of the coin. Those who insist the game is awful because another game did <insert random aspect here> so much better. In fact, talk about elevating a game to “god status”; it’s a wonder these people ever stopped playing this other game long enough to try something else.
While I love this game, I’d be extremely disappointed if they didn’t clean up the bugs, tweak the balance, and improve the interface. Some great suggestions have been made. However, for every great suggestion there have also been suggestions that make sense for another game. For example, there are some who want a far more complex combat system; I think that would be a mistake for this game. And, of course, there is the occasional suggestion that is just plain awful.
Don’t be too quick to condemn someone a “fanboy” just because they attack a particular suggestion or idea.
