In the beginning: "Instead of hitting the same key over and over again to accuse us, you could easily have said what I'm doing wrong and I could either find a solution for it or explain the situation"

KoL, I think part of the Machina frustration might be because of the above reason. You kept berating the Machina for not working together, not following orders, and being generally ineffective. When people responded that they were working together, and that Eos wasn't giving any orders... The discussion stopped. You didn't go "Hmm.. You're right, what else might be the problem?" and acknowledge that publicly.

Now, I think you ARE learning from things and trying to remedy that, I heard you guys might have anti-portal/teleport technology emplacement ideas in the works, but that was a very subtle implication too late. If you guys are taking our advice in mind, which I think you are, you might want to let people know. In other words, "Let them see you sharpen the sword before you fall on it" or, phrased differently, "An apology no one sees is no different from an apology that didn't happen".

Personally, I think things are getting better. I feel a lot more comfortable about asking you guys for advice on how an action I'm thinking about considering would pan out. But, obviously, not everyone feels that way.
