Observations from a New Player

[Destomius]

No, frankly it's plain obvious that the OP is giving his input as a new player if you just stopped and read his posts, and the lot of you are just unfortunately acting like obnoxious assess. Something like this will uneventfully happen on almost any other forum but here. This community really needs to be able to handle some criticism, or you'll be your own undoing.
The OP isn't doing anything out of the ordinary, people just need to learn to argue/explain and discuss. Someone thinks something you like isn't good, don't throw a hissy fit like some creature that has just learned to type words. Explain your viewpoint, if it's a new player, even more reason. But no, the community here is out to attack him and brand him as a troll rather than accept that someone could possibly have negative views towards something in their loved game. You guys are so full of yourselves.

No. If someone's gonna go post a rather extreme suggestion to outright remove content from the game, they better be prepared to receive some "extreme" feedback from others. And being a new player doesn't excuse him from that.

I mean, just look at this crap:

- Linkshells: I do not know what these are for. I have my friends list and my FC. Why do I need a linkshell?

That's pretty much saying "I don't know what ____ is for, and I don't use one anyway, so I suggest removing them from the game!"

That's about as selfish, self-centered, and "full of yourselves" as it gets.

If I were to post a topic saying "well I don't raid, therefore it's not necessary and they should remove raid content from the game" can you honestly tell me I wouldn't deserve any of the inevitable negative replies I would get?
