please don't attack me personally - I have mentioned nobody directly and am just expressing my opinions on a company policy and how I feel it could be approved upon. take your personal views on 'bitching' somewhere else, they are not needed here.
In response to the rest of your post. I agree, I would much rather have an optimises version of the WB than a buggy one - we all used the original one, right?
As I stated before in my post (I am not at odds with designers making maps so in the meantime i am happy for them to 'do their jobs' as you say)
My point was (if you missed it) was that the maps are surely being created on a version of the WB - which seems to be stable enough to create maps good enough for competitive play so why not release it. Now, you say you 'are sure they are polishing the tool' and that may be the case - but even that implies that you know as little about it as I do...
its the secrecy that is baffling.
I am not attacking you personally, i am just asking you to stop crying. Because in every thread that is slightly map related you bring up the Worldbuilder topic and cry about it. Even if there is no correlation, as in this thread, which is about a map that has been produced by the map design team, and has nothing to do with programming a tool.
They won't release the WB, before it is stable on the majority of machines and has a minimum amount of comfort in the UI. Nor will they give a release date, for reasons given in other threads. Just because they have a version that is running on a few machines which they can babysit doesn't mean it is ready for release.
