Please quote the post of Roland's that remotely says any of this? Don't blame him if he has to explain something that was said in plain english to people. Pretty much everything he said was already posted by the devs in question but people on here tend to ignore half the post and concentrate on their perceived shortcoming of a brand new half finished system they have never even actually seen nor played.

That is certainly one interpretation.
Another interpretation, true to the form you used, would be:
"What Aldranon is really saying is that he has a different opinion/interpretation than Roland does, so instead of listening to what Roland says, listen to what Aldranon says Roland means."
I do get what you're saying, and he may sometimes come off as that, but he never said that, you said that. He may have meant that, you may have heard that. But he never said it.

I build my base underground so zombie ai is not going to effect me too much, until horde night anyway, as I usually hop into the 2nd/3rd floor of some random poi and shoot thru wood frames at them. If we were in a real zombie apoc, you can bet there is no way most people will stay at the ground level to fight off a small horde, they going to do it from a place they can't get grabbed at.
I've always found horde night kinda stupid, like how do they suddendly become able to bascally turn into a heat seeking missle and find me where ever I go. The fact zombies can run alone is kinda far fetched from the standart zombie archetype. But as a game, the running zombies adds more challenge, so I can see why its a thing.

I am coming from a world where I own both a PC and a console so I might be a bit more informed in that area. If I see it is available on multi platforms, especially if it crosses from PC to the console market, I make sure to at least do a bit of research to make sure I know what I am getting and which platform I may be getting the better experience. I personally prefer PC for most of my gaming, but I used to find better couch co op experience through console.
Go to Google and type in 7dtd pc vs Xbox or PS4. Most often you will get many return articles/reviews that give a breakdown of the many differences between the various media. Many times you are just looking at loss in the graphics department for many of the bigger games that cross platform. But others have been known to completely remove some content or in the case of early access games be serveral versions behind.

Guys, I know that technically you're right. I'm just saying when I'd consider buying Assassins Creed (or whatever) on PS or Xbox wouldn't think I'd need to investigate the console version in case I might get screwed over. And that's how customers feel like. No one lied to them, someone just failed to mention very relevant information.
Like I said before, for starters, there could have been an alteration in the name to prevent that confusion. Like: "7 days to die: Michonne's story" or whatever to disdinguish the two branches. Blaming the guy who feels disappointed is just a distraction from the point that it could have been handled better.
PS. Sorry for going off topic, I won't discuss it further. The reason I brought this up is that it's a totally obvious reaction by the guy and maybe TFP would consider doing somthing to make it better understood. Their customers...
Tbh, the fact that the console version has anything to do with Telltale is actually the best indicator that there might be less stuff you can do in the game - this could have easily been a story about a survival horde crafting game

Toores have you gone to the main 7dtd site? If you do you’ll see that you are asked to pick which version you have and if you pick console you are redirected to Telltale’s site. That’s a pretty good indication all by itself that there are differences between the two versions.

If I'm interpreting you correctly.....
For those who felt I was trying to stifle conversation, I sincerely apologize. Discuss to your hearts content AND be assured that TFP is aware of the points you've brought up either because A) they are obvious, B) the work isn't finished, or C) thanks to your feedback
(Pick whichever scenario brings you the most joy.)

I have copied all of faatal's posts on the subject of AI and pathing to their own thread so that people may read through them all without distraction and get a solid picture of his progress with the overhaul. Now YOU can form your own opinion of what faatal has been doing without the filter of MY interpretation. It is a very interesting read and I hope it spurs more questions, conversation, and enlightens some who may have been confused by all the commentary by the masses.

I love you for this.
Why would it be any different for them than the player?
Zombies don't care if you are a scavenger, a rock star or a bandit. You are just one thing to them, FOOD.

Well normally I would choose C but I am choosing A because Madmole calls me Captain Obvious.
Strange how things don't seem obvious until I point them out.

I'd like to have the choice as to how large the inventory size should be, and choose if I feel it robs me of an experience or not.
For those that deeply care about making hobson's choices over poop and bones they can keep the inventory size small.
For others of us who get no sense of pride or accomplishment out of making those decisions, we'd appreciate larger inventory space. Particularly in the late game, its just annoying.
Just make it a server config option.

from a story point you are correct. now. play a horde night. do you notice any of the zombies attacking the animals? I dont. they usually kill them, but not on horde night. they tend to ignore other ai and go for players. as I have stated; we don't know the interaction between these ai's yet, as nothing has been stated on it.
so, I asked faatal, who isn't aka sills, how is this being handled?
