That Which He Does Not Play

I am forced to question why there's so much backlash over mere criticism. So what if someone complains about the game a lot? Voicing criticism is not the same thing as disliking a product. There's nothing wrong with pointing out flaws, whether real or perceived, in a product you care about. It's fine to disagree with someone's criticisms, but trying to tell them their opinion is objectively wrong is pretty stupid.

People don't make forum posts looking to be "proven wrong" anyway. People that are proven wrong normally won't admit they're wrong no matter what is said to them, and this goes for a large number of posters on here whether they realize it or not.

It seems to me quite a few posters believe this thread to be a case of someone that wouldn't accept being wrong regardless of circumstances. If this is the case -- or if this is a bait thread -- then I've but one question: why bother?

The backlash isn't directed at criticism (most of it anyways). It's directed at certain types n topics of criticism. If I was to make a thread about my enjoyment of the current state of healing I'd be insulted and ragged on by many of ths threads supporters.
It's a 2 way issue.

Pointing out what you think are flaws is fine. But people have the right to counter those points all the same. It's not the case in every instances but there ARE times where you can tell someone their opinion is objectively wrong. Like saying Yoshi only cares about content effecting him. That's is an objectively false opinion to have. Just how it is sometimes

Highly doubt you'd be lambasted by the "supporters" of this thread and more so the masterclass healers that are annoyed at healer gameplay in the Healer Role subforum that almost never come to General Discussion. You make a thread about liking the current state of healing in General Discussion and you will hardly see much of anyone in this thread here posting in it.
