Your collectivehatred and distrust of technologyskepticism based on the complete lack of evidence available makes me sick.
Fixed that for you.
The problem is not a hatred or distrust of technology, it's a perfectly reasonable skepticism based on the completely non-existent information available about your tool, how it will work, and what it will actually accomplish. This skepticism has only been further compounded by your repeatedly proven lack of knowledge about the area of the game you are making this tool for, and only further exacerbated by your tone and constant talking-down to and dismissal of the very same players who could help you get the information you need to make this tool actually function.
If your tool is still in such an early alpha stage that you cannot give people the information they are asking for regarding how it will work, perhaps you should have held off on announcing it to the public until it was far enough along to provide that information. Right now, all you're doing is repeatedly proving in the minds of your target userbase that you don't know what you're talking about, giving them little reason to have any faith in your ability to carry out this project. You're also alienating them by talking down to them for daring to ask very reasonable questions about how you plan to fulfill these very grandiose promises that you've made about this tool.
This is basic Marketing 101 stuff right here, if you want to "sell" your product, you need to have some proof as to why they need it, why it's better than whatever they currently have; and the last thing you want to do is alienate the very people you're pitching your product to by talking down to them for daring to ask for further information about the product. As an analogy, if I were looking to buy a new car and the salesman pitches some revolutionary new feature to me, I'm going to be asking what that feature does, why do I need to have it, and basic info about how it actually works. If the salesman refuses to answer these questions and just keeps insisting it's awesome, I wouldn't understand the details, I shouldn't be questioning it and I should totally get this new feature anyway... that salesman isn't going to be making that sale with me.
I wasn't trying to sell anything. I was posting a new project, which was never claimed to be finished, and just got slammed with doubt and attacks. Without any external support, or desire to use our project, we will likely be suspending development.
