Not that anyone cares but I'd like to see the developers give a list of things they recognize as a problem to be fixed vs things they think are okay and are not going to fix. I don't know whether the problem I see with the game is seen as a problem by the devs.
I'm going to give it one more try in manage mode post 1.6 before I abandon hope.
