SAM players are quitting

[FrogBiscuit]

On the plus side, if true, at least that will mean less duplicate and toxic threads, as well as a return to higher quality posting.

Sort of odd to assert that people making the choice to un-sub due to their current opinion of the game, are the source of poor quality, toxic threads...

The vast majority of toxicity has been sourced from people who are going out of their way to speak down to and criticize their fellow players on a subject that clearly isn't terribly important to them (clearly expressed by the argument of theirs effectively being "Why are you overreacting? Its not that important!").


You want to see the majority of toxicity and crude posts to leave the forum? That would require people simply allowing others to speak their mind when SE asks for the very feedback they are getting and for those who take some self centered issue with the other posters doing so, to simply hold their peace and not post when they don't have anything constructive or beneficial to add. Taking a contradictory stance, or posing conflicting statements is more then fine... But that isn't representative of the vast majority of the condemnation that has been posted in response to the SAM outcry over the 6.1 changes.


If you don't want toxicity in the forums, it has very little to do with the SAM players taking a break. Its is almost entirely rooted behind people who take issue to other players expressing their opinion to a company (who asked for the very thing) for some obscure reason and insist on letting the world know about it.

I would argue there is typically far more detail and thought in a post coming from a passionate player with clear care for a game they have been playing, then that of a poster who's only existence in the thread is for telling the other people in the thread that they are overreacting, their opinions are overblown and incorrect, and should really just shut up...
