Davairus,

I have very little experience on AR, but if you're getting a LOT" of infantile criticism, I'd suspect two causes that haven't been addressed elsewhere:

1) Your game draws a younger playerbase. I got that sense while checking AR out, and while young players can be very talented, they also tend to be more volatile. I don't know what to suggest here.

2) It might also be how you deal with cheating. You use the word "squish" in your post, and some of your posts have come off as a little 'cowboy' with respect to how you handle cheaters. (I was a delightful little rule-abiding citizen when I tried your game, so I have no experience here.) You can take a firm stance on cheating (we certainly do) without attacking the cheater or escalating a confrontation, regardless of your level of contempt for what they did. I have some learned-by-doing tips here, and when I have time later I'll try to start a discussion on it.
