Install 1.3 update or not?

I was over at EA today reading some of the posts about the borkiness people have been experiencing with the patch, and it was funny in a sicko kind of way. The first couple of pages, people were reporting problems and pasting their tech data, and everyone was basically being told to update their drivers. Yeah, right. But what was rather amusing was that by page 14, 15, and 16 (I skipped ahead!), people were saying things like 'I know my PC is up to date and %$#& you, EA". LOL.
BTW, people were posting the same kind of stuff that I've seen here (I haven't experienced any issues myself since I haven't patched yet and don't plan to at this time!), and apparently they have to take mods out before they post issues or their posts seem to get deleted. So yeah, it looks to me like most of these are EA issues, not AM issues, but unless they've admitted fault after I visited, no, I don't think EA has acknowledged anything.
Hey Tangie -
I posted just ONE post in the 1.3 Bug thread about how EAxis should admit they've made a mistake... along w/tweaking one of their Sim Gurus who goes by the name of "Big Guy" and received a warning today in my personal email that my post was inappropriate for derogatory statements... all I said basically was that his and my reading comprehension were vastly different as he had posted that the "majority of simmers were having no problems w/the 1.3 patch unless they had used AM or IS"... and I countered w/the statement that I had been scanning several websites that suggested something far different... so of course all the "Gurus" have to keep their heads really far up Eaxis' ass... and I don't think Eaxis will ever admit anything ever... ::) ;)
Can you say "anti-modding" ? LOL ! :P

Wow. So I just reinstalled my game, installed the first patch to the vanilla game, and now wanted to update to the second patch, but it still says "Invalid file found". Did anyone else have that problem? Really running out of ideas here.

If you read the thread, you'll notice several people post about that. Anyway, search for the file "rtpatch.log". You'll probably find a few if your install failed more than once. Open the most recent one in a text editor and look at the bottom of the file. It should tell you exactly which file it had a problem with.

@Wolfeyes: I actually remember reading your post (although I didn't know it was YOU at the time :)) But I'm not surprised you were admonished about it; they clearly don't like criticism, independant thinkers, or anyone who questions their authority in any way. Basically, they're ^%holes!
I read a post from someone on this board just a few minutes ago (sorry, I already forgot who!), that said they called EA and were told to not download the patch, that they knew it was flawed and that they would be creating a new patch. If that's true, I thought that was a pretty interesting admission, but that is obviously not a public acknowledgement.

You are reading too much into thing ... well drawing the wrong conclusions.
Official forums are all like that, they pick some users to be moderators and the whole thing is just a PR gig as very few if any of the actual development team bothers to check the forums and any "user feedback" is given to then by the community manager.
The Sims 3 Official Forums are in no way different that Bethsoft or Bioware (ok BioWare is now EA) forums.
The reason moderators act that way is simple, they are spineless little shits that want to hold to the little power they have, even if its as pathetic as of being a moderator.
