Threads seem to be getting closed a lot lately for trash talking

[Ventus]

Just noticed this post:

here

Got closed down and just looking at the last few pages it became painfully clear why, but honestly guys how can we let things get that bad? When it doesn't even become about the topic and instead personal bickering.

I feel like instead of bashing each other for "Complaining"/"White Knighting"/"Trolling" we should just enter each thread trying to produce something of value to the respective topic.

We should act mature, polite, and civil like I hope many of you do to other people in real life. Not as many threads would get closed that way with good topics for discussion.

Just wanted to take a moment to say this. Thanks for listening guys

Thread was trash to begin with. Should have been closed after the OP hit the post button.

threads get closed because those who can't accept the fact that others disagree with them go on and troll the post...much like mine...right from the start, the thread was getting trolled because I didn't think 1.18 was the "god of all patches."

I just don't understand how people can go into a FORUM (i.e. a place for creativity, discussion, and community) thinking "if this person doesn't agree with me I will DESTROY THEIR SOUL!"

I'm guilty of this as well, but I feel like slowly I've begun to understand how trifling and stupid it is to make a post based on raw emotion.

Never hurts to be polite.

I sometimes think people do this sort of thing intentionally to get devs to close out threads they disagree with by picking fights with everyone hoping to get a reaction.

I also don't understand how everyone who is defending 1.18 says it's god of patches on one hand while saying we need to wait to critique the new direction of the game for another 3 patches on the other. =/

I think it's a case of everyone agreeing that there's something wrong, but not agreeing on what's actually wrong. Lots of people are pointing to cures, some to enmity/tanking, others to AA, still others maybe to Multishot. But, just like not everyone can agree on what's actually broken, no one can agree on what needs to be done. Some (like myself) are content to wait for 1.19 and 1.20 to see what awaits, while others want to see their pet issues fixed now.

I'm personally happy with the overall direction they're taking. Tanking the Ogre and Batraal has been the most fun I've had in this game thus far. Is 1.18 perfect? Hell no. Will 1.19/1.20 fix everything? You'd be crazy to even ask. Does the future of the game look promising? You'd have to ask yourself, but I know what my answer is. . .

I fully agree with and support the OP's point in this thread. Especially with the example given. There is NO reason to speak to someone like that, and each person involved should be ashamed.

It would be nice to have more discussion and less arguments in these forums. Unfortunately there are people who do not see the difference in that.

Thumbs up for polite conversation and topical discussions
