I thought people might be exaggerating about SMN

[Floortank]

It is generally my last place to go for information. Most people that I have talked to have a very negative view of this place, and considering some of the topics I've seen in this forum over the years I tend to agree.

My best friend, who got me into this game in the first place back in ARR, told me to never come here for information. I tend to check Reddit, Discord and Twitter way before I check here. And the only reason I am here right now was boredom while waiting in queue. Didn't have much else to read. Felt like shutting down some of the lies I saw in this thread, but I'm pretty sure I've wasted my time. Oh well.

"I like new SMN" isn't really an unreliable or outrageous opinion, forum or not.

And taking an interest in conversations broadly is a good thing. Reading does not mean accepting. Actively challenging ideas you disagree with makes the forum better.

But "I liked old SMN" is treated as not only an outrageous opinion, but entirely invalid by a lot of people in this thread. The topics all boil down to this:

Player starts thread, unhappy with new SMN. Thread is flooded by people saying "But I like new SMN so you must be wrong" (paraphrasing) and then the thread devolves into a mess and eventually dies before another, almost identical thread, gets opened up. Rinse, repeat. It feels like the whole thing is treading water.

And the worst part is. Neither party is wrong or right. Gameplay is subjective. I liked old Summoner, I liked it a lot. But someone else might like new Summoner just as much. And thats fine. Congratulations, you've got a job you like in this game. The kicker for me though, is that I lost my job. Oh sure I'm still playing it. But for the most part its until 6.1 to see if they actually plan on doing anything with it. Then I might have to give up the Job I've spent the last 5 years playing. That stings.
