That Which He Does Not Play

[AwesomeJr44]

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 this threads supporters.
It's a 2 way issue.

I doubt that very much.

I agree with Theodric. I probably wouldn't be in such a thread as I don't play healer that much, but as long as the points made were good, I'd be in support of a thread like that. I'm not against criticism of the game, even if I disagree with the premise. For example, I don't 100% agree with Aveyond's OP here but I still support his ability to be critical of the game/devs, and I'm against the people who blindly hate him for it. I sincerely doubt that Ikara would be getting 'ragged' by the supporters of this thread.

not sure where you have been but positive threads about liking an aspect of the game, or even the game itself are generally "shouted" down as the poster being a shill or what have you. that has been proven time and time again. so not sure why you express doubt

Are we talking about actual positive threads or threads where the OP spends half of the post talking about how terrible people who are 'too negative' are?

"I hate haters" threads are not positive.

It's positive to them because it's directed at the 'right people'.

actual positive threads. "I hate haters" and "complaining about complainers" threads are useless and counterproductive.

positive threads tend to be derailed and ganged up on faster than any other kind. (no, I didnt think the "lets thank the devs" thread was an honest positive attempt, fell into the anti complaint category imo)
