I'd never be able to be more rude and aggressive than a player, no matter how hard i'll try. And you are the one of few which makes this statement always true. Well, it's your boat, sail as you want. I'd stopped expecting anything from things which may be posted here long ago - forum swim in a sea of own stinking product, and doesn't look like it's going to change, ever. No matter what staff member will do, it will be become shit after forum-filter. Even if it's something what has been requested 5 minutes ago.
Jesus Christ, how horrifying. Have you ever paused to think why do those awful things always seem to happen to you? Yeah, must be the horribad playerbase. The hilarious part is that most people you're so quick to complain about and scratch off as "whiners" are the closest thing to groupies you're ever going to see in the gaming world when it comes to other titles. How come?
Great example of that is so commented shit shovelling and grave digging - minor non-pvp/non-crafting/non-ncr activities, that was and are frequently requested (at least that's how i understand "there's nothing else to do"). When they become reality, they're on top of forum's hate list. 2238 circle of life, nothing new.
Yeah, those terrible players, they fail to appreciate all the rewarding and complicated endgame mechanics these groundbreaking features entail. I mean when you say Fallout, you immediately think shoveling dung, right? Right?
Yes, i know that. I'm hiding around the corner every time i see them on streets of my city.
You do realize that posting passive-aggressive stuff like that sort of proves that you understand you've all earned their open hostility over the years, right? It's not even like I'm one of those hardcore haters, I just understand where they're coming from and I have a lot of appreciation for the comic value of the fact that you guys are still in denial about having alienated a massive part of your playerbase through unnecessary development choices. In all honesty, it's almost as if you were trying to grief players without actually realizing the meaning of your actions - hence the alien mind control/parasite joke.
So, why i'm angry at you? Guess i don't want to see players which i remember most (surprisingly, many of them come from BBS or was somehow connected to them) from private "player era" taking part into this freak show which is going on here. Don't want to remember them later next to currently fabulous forum warriors, which lacks some kind of freaky class that good old 2238 players had.
Nothing that's happening here is my fault or the fault of other players and you know that. Shifting the blame might be good when it comes to dealing with the psychological aftermath in your head, but in the end it just makes you look all the more arrogant.
Anyway, time for my turn is almost gone, i have to give you and everyone else a chance to prove me and everyone else in team that we should never touch computers in our lives, or anything which can run predefined actions. Maybe with exception for a washing machine 
You're a smart girl, you should know that the whole "if you haven't done it better than us you should stop talking" thingie is nothing more than an intellectual fallacy... and even if it wasn't, I think the TLA people have done a perfectly good job when it comes to proving you're not the hot shit you think you are. I mean even those - to use your lingo - aggressive asshole whiners are impressed and approach this new TLA server with enthusiasm, giving it their full support. Do you know why? Because that other devteam actually earned it.
