I've been known to roll my eyes more than once where LL is concerned, but overall my level of enjoyment in
SL is very high. I supect that having a good computer which runs
SL as smoothly as the platform will allow contributes to my satisfaction.
Although I am much more social in
SL than I ever anticipated, my core attraction is to the metaverse building aspect, so I'm far less bothered by malfunctions that affect socializing. My
SL business is a hobby, not a necessary income generating activity, so I can shrug off malfunctions and policies that undercut my sales. And I work in the technoloy field, so I have a fairly high frustration threshold because I tend to react with "Shit, I'm so glad it's not my server."
I can't even get highly indigant about things breaking with updates, again because I'm sooo used to that in my field. Skills I learned 5 years ago, and everything I built with those skills, are outdated now and being replaced with a new tech platform. I've been through two complete revolutions of my skill set and it's never going to stop.
This commentary is not meant to invalidate other people's frustrations or disillusionment, just to explain why I don't share it.
