A forum is not a safeplace/echo chamber
Even I don't take the general forums seriously anymore.
1. If you want a big happy place, trust me, they get boring. The negative threads get prominence because there is nothing to talk about in game, because there is very little content we all haven't done 5 million times. Look at the reddit right now, most of the posts are boring trivia.
2. It gets heated because these things matter. All the people defending stuff gives SE the go-ahead to keep doing it. People get mad about whales because they have seen what games that cater to whales in other games become over time. Whales is a general term though, it just means high spenders.
3. This would just devolve into approved negative threads. If negativity needs to go, stfu about how hard savage is or how bad pugs and duty finder are.
I used to be a forum moderator for a F2P game and if there's one thing I learned it's that forums are generally skewed negative because people don't typically make too many happy/neutral threads. It's a hard balance (one that I handled on that F2P by actually playing the game under a different name and interacting with players).
But it is annoying. Sometimes I stop going to the forums for a few weeks to make sure I get a break.
Besides, I still have so much to do that all this foruming is cutting into my game time. Maybe now's the time for another forum break...
Its been over 24 hours since V's last post! I think time may have finally expired, finally a small measure of peace.
