Is XDA just the new place to complain?

---

I came to a realization last night. While I used to come to XDA for up to date info, mod information and general discussion involving the Android products I enjoy or are looking forward to...these days I have to sift through so much crap its loosing its luster.

Take the Prime for example. Everyday, people are bitching and complaining about GPS or Wifi or BT or screen banding or whatever. Here is some advice. Go return your Prime or sell it on EBay or Craigslist to any of the masses that are dying to get their hands on this tablet. It is amusing to read all these threads of individuals taking their Prime so personally as if Asus stole your kids lunch money. If it is not obvious by now, any issue with this tablet are not widespread. My wifi works great, as does BT. GPS doesn't but why would I ever use it on a 10" tablet? That is what my Galaxy Nexus is for.

Long story short, if you are not happy with your purchase, return it and stop wasting my and everyone else's time writing rants about how Asus is evil and wronged you personally. If you made your purchase from a store that doesn't accept returns, then you are an idiot in the first place, but you can always hawk it on eBay or Craigslist. If you have something to add to an issue, by all means continue to post new threads, but 80% of what I am reading sounds like a bunch of 18 years olds complaining that life isn't fair. Welcome to the real world. Return your Primes, move on and relax a bit. Many of us are enjoying this tablet and come here for actual information....not Jersey Shore.

Considering that most of the big players read these forums this is the perfect place to complain if you want your words noted.

As XDA serves advertising just as much as it serves info and support complaining about complaints or asking us not to is utterly unreasonable.

Anyway, you are just as guilty about bitching as anyone else, what do you think your post amounted too?

you nailed it.. its daycare for the internetz.

Kids come and stay here for hours bouncing off complaint to complaint

by the time they are done.. they are so tired they just go to bed..

well said.

So wait... the OP came to complain and people complaining... fail

In before the lock!!!

I feel like if anyone wanted to be heard, then they would just contact the manufacturer and then get back to us with anything they say. All of these people are just posting with the hope that doing the least stressful and easy thing (posting here) will fix their gps/wifi/screen problem when really if theres a problem they should just get a new unit or talk to Asus. I don't really mind complaining as much as I do redundant complaining. I know I don't want to hear anything about the gps anymore personally.

Fair point. Although maybe people will read it and put their egos aside, return the devices they like to complain about all day long and move on. This post is not to serve my bruised ego like many other posts that I am talking about are.

You didn't put "your ego aside" and think twice about posting.. like anyone else with an issue, you posted.

Complainer!

I tend to Agree with the OP. This used to be a place about solutions to problems not a place to bitch about them. There is still plenty of useful information here it just is becoming harder and harder to sift through all of the crap to find it.
