Myths of the Realm Rewritten

[Renalt]

I'mma be real with you. I don't even blame him at this point. Whether people want to admit it or not, there's a huge issue around here with people that bring forth criticisms of the game getting dogpiled. Were I younger and in possession of more free time, I'd probably have started going out of my way to make posts like this one out of sheer spite. Sadly, I have grown out of the ability to care enough to put so much time into something so inconsequential.

Which group is the insane group? The group that likes some stuff in the game therefore they stay subbed or the group that hates every aspect of the game and makes 3-4 threads a week to say how much they hate the game yet willingly pay for it on several accounts and buys optional items?

Guess which group people belong to and that is why a large majority of people don't respect them.

Why assume some people are just running multiple accounts? Is it not possible for the game to have more than just a handful of people that strongly dislike aspects of it? You also appear to assume being very outspoken with these criticisms is in some way indicative of "hating" a product rather than the more logical assumption that many of the people speaking against aspects of it do so because they care it.

I've no interest in whatever behind the scenes drama it seems safe to assume people like to cook up. All I know is what I see, and what I see is a number of distinct accounts, all with noticeably different writing styles, throwing in their two cents. Can someone knowingly change the way they write? Of course, but hardly anyone is capable of completely eliminating tell-tale signs of their original style when doing so, even should they be cognizant of those predilections.

It's fine for people to debate about the game. That's kinda all the forums have been for God knows how long. Disagreements are inevitable, and a degree of defensiveness from posters is to be expected. Problem is, things have gone way past defensive at this point. It's at a point where people are just openly trying to shut posts down because they don't like its content or maybe dislike the poster, but uh.. deplatforming isn't a one-way street. It can be done to anyone. It's a filthy practice to begin with, and utilizing it damages all of us in the long run.

Considering that the first group is so obsessed with a single person that they allow them to live rent free even when said person takes a break from posting, I think I know the answer.

Y'all hate this guy to a literally irrational degree (as well as anyone who doesn't want to dogpile him). No wonder he doesn't give you the time of day. If people are so desperate for him to respond to them, maybe they should consider not giving him a reason not to.

But, for the record, I keep my main well hidden too. Not in the account sense, mind - I just don't link my actual main character, because I know what's going to happen if I do. I already got a dose of some forum crazies finding me in-game and trying to cause problems back during the Garlean debates. 0/10, would not recommend.

People have actually contacted you in-game? Jesus, people need to chill out.
