    Again, you're arguing anachronistically. One can blame cell phones for our whole degree of reduced face-to-face interaction only by having (purposely, more likely than not) forgotten what books, computers, and godsdamned human nature already contributed.
    Matter of fact, you can go talk to Ray Bradbury, who PREDICTED this decades ago. Fahrenheit 451.

    Read the book. Montag lives.

    Then go read Toffler. Future Shock.

    I recently went back and read both of them...how they knew what was coming is still unbelievable.

    Personally, I have yet to see that but thrice in the last 6 years of running M+
    You will forgive me if I treat this comment with a grain of salt the size of the Titanic.

    https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/mythic-plus-toxicity-is-caused-by-blizzards-game-design-choices/869612\

    The toxicity of mythic plus needs to be adressed quickly, as an influx of players will want to re-engage with the content come 9.0.5. If blizzard fails to adress the current toxic environement of mythic plus, the valor system will only make things worse. People will feel even more invested in their key, and will lash out worse when failures happen.
    I go back to my earlier stance...you never saw it happen so it didnt happen

    https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/how-to-solve-m-toxicity/878501

    I enjoy the concept of the challenge that m+ potentially brings to players and the potential rewards for doing keys in time, but the absolute abhorrent behavior that I’ve had directed at me or seen directed at others makes the whole experience unenjoyable even when nothing happens. It’s become so common of an occurrence that there’s this invisible pressure even in silent groups that it sours the whole thing for me. What can blizzard do to make m+ appear less like the average game of blind pick in league of legends
    https://www.dexerto.com/world-of-warcraft/wow-players-urge-blizzard-combat-toxicity-instead-censoring-game-content-1662472/

    “Blizzard should do something about toxic player behavior instead of censoring paintings and turning them into fruit bowls,” writes one Reddit user, referring to the decision to change an in-game artwork of a semi-clad woman into a collection of pears. “Being told to kill myself over a mistake or a petty disagreement is not okay at all.”
    But yeah, you;re right, they are making it all up............................

    Which topic are you even on at this point? Is it still just "calculators are toxic" or are we into "machined arithmetic = Big Brother" territory?

    Something being able to do addition for you is not grounds for Toffler's "information overload." Nor is it a dystopian scenario based largely on a purging of information as within 451.

    Youve never read the book, have you? If you had, then maybe the next time you see someone with their nose buried in their phone, you will get it.

    Information overload? The book isnt even THAT long, LMAO.
