Provocative topic.
I'm subscribed on this forum since 2014 but
I'm working with MikroTik devices since 2007, the first ones were RB133C3
If you are unable to use the tools provided by MikroTik (when they work), it is your fault.
I am a professional and no device has ever bricked on update / upgrade or netinstall.
I'm not lucky, I just know what I'm doing.
For be onest, the only problem are for upgrade SMIPS, but is another thing and this isn't the place to discuss it.
It is too easy to complain on the MikroTik forum if you make mistakes and lose control of the equipment.
Many times it is the wrong maneuvers that are made that result in the device being blocked.
Blaming MikroTik is just the wrong way to try to take the blame away to yourself.
Thanks to all for the attention and the time spent to read this post.
