Hello @Jarsie9 I am here most days. This is one of my main sources of entertainment while I am on sick leave. Yes I do look at the General Discussion and am often upset by the lack of respect and kindness simmers show to one another just because their opinion is different.
Discussion and debate is healthy, but rudeness and trolling are not. Nor is it good to see people being driven to a frenzy over a few pictures when nothing has yet been confirmed. It is far better to conserve energy until you really know what you are up against. Collectively we could be a considerable force to be reckoned with but at the moment we are allowing that opportunity to slip away by squabbling amongst ourselves.
I see you regularly on the Forum, along with a great many others here and I value what you all have to say. I don't always agree but that's normal. I do not want to leave the Forum and I do not want to find it dead and empty. I want to see people whose opinions and thoughts I value, to stay at least until Christmas. I reckon by then we will either know what is likely to happen to this game and whether or not it is worth staying around or waiting it out until TS5.
Apologies OP I did not mean to de-rail the thread.
No, I totally agree with what you say and appreciate you for taking the time to say it. I know it's hard to stick around on these forums sometimes when no matter how nice and reasonable you are about your disappointment you are treated like some sort of monster. But I'm not about to let that sort of narrow mindedness prevent me from having my say. They can try to argue with me but I'm not interested and they can argue against no one because I've got better things to do.

I don't play TS4 as much anymore as I used to, mostly due to the fact that I get bored easily. There simply isn't enough to hold my interest.
This is probably another reason why the forums are getting quieter. I know that I am playing it less and less now and feeling very sad about that. I feel like I have nothing exciting to do with the game, cannot play a family legacy without proper family play and have nothing to look forward to. And if there's not much to do in-game then there will not be much to talk about here. There's nothing up-and-coming to get excited about, no carrots dangling...
A big part of the forums for me was always the build-up and collective excitement of things to come. At the moment, what do we have? Two careers coming in December? Big deal. Not to sound ungrateful or anything, but that's like trying to scoop water out of a sinking ship with a very small bucket.
I'm totally of this mindset, they've totally obliterated my hopes and that's on them. Not us.
