^ not so much the game imo, altho you could argue that it has a very negative effect on the community, which will find it's way into the game too.
All in all, I agree that there's been way too much focus on the "bad things" happening in the past and waaaay too many conspiracy theories. It's like everybody who doesn't have it their way automatically reasons : Azzer + Money = Abuse. Most of the times this is backed up very poorly with hearsay and the likes.
Regarding Azzer's slowness in reacting to certain things, don't forget that this game runs on a one man company and is therefore restricted organization wise. Imo it wouldn't be bad if Azzer somehow hired one extra person, who can take of the planning and community aspects of the game, so he can focus full time on the coding aspect of the game. Especially with the advertising coming up (time consuming job, trust me), I'm afraid the workload might be too big to carry for one man. The fact that you, Azzer, have to take care of every single aspect by yourself, takes a lot of time away from allowing you to do what you do best, and that is coding. Maybe you can outsource the community work to an Indian, gets the job done cheap and proper Globalization ftw.
Just my two cents.
