Rush, if people wanted to see the game fail, they would just up and leave, quietly. Those of us that are vocal are not wanting the game to fail, in fact we enjoy many elements of the game. HOWEVER, there isn't enough of the game and we are vocal about it in hopes that the dev's realize a huge mistake and correct it, sooner rather then later.
I did the beta, I knew the play style of the game, not my usual but I liked it non-the-less. The idea of an interesting TV show influencing what happens in the game was very intriguing to me. However, I, and many like minded people, are very disappointed with the lack of content in the game. We are disappointed with the gear in the game. We are disappointed with the overall implementation of what we had hoped would be a great, enjoyable, and entertaining game. As it stands right now, our hopes, expectations, and vision for this game have crumbled, realization set in, and we're left wanting..... I can't honestly justify to my friends why they should buy this game, and yes, I'm regretting having purchased it myself as it stands right now. I can only hold on to the shred of hope left that things will turn around, quickly, or I will be joining the mass exodus.
Look at it like this. You buy this shiny new car, a sports car by all accounts that you've read. You find out that you can get 35 mpg and think that's great. You drive it off the lot, the excitement about your shiny new car fades, and you realize that it has a tiny little 4 cylinder. Would you be happy?
