We have an OP that's basically just going, "I'm glad to see that larger-reaching sections of the community are starting to talk about what are, to me, some of the game's increasingly obvious shortcomings. Here's one random example.

*snip for post lenght limits*

Hence the "Nobody asked." Because the point wasn't one's opinion about streamers, but merely a comment on how criticism has been cycling, and its more recent topics (available content, use and framing of grinds, etc.).
I apologize for the delay - as being one of the seemingly few people who vocally enjoy the game, I tend to get so many quotes and responses to everything I type here that I simply ran out of my daily posts.

Your post did give me a bit of a chuckle, as that is exactly what he did. He posted Zepla's link, then used this as some sort of evidence that she agreed with his views about how "terrible" the game is. He actually used "terrible" three times in his OP. He then stated "Video game content creators are a barometer of the mood of the playerbase." He follows this up with putting my quote and all caps and changing what I said while pretending to quote me, claiming I refuse to listen to Zepla or some nonsense. This is pretty funny given the quote he changed started with "I like Zepla" meaning I do listen to her videos, and do engage with them. I commented on her video, and the funny thing is - the majority of her audience in the comments section actually like this expansion's approach to the relic weapons. So I guess Zepla's video wasn't even the barometer of her own audience. This is to be expected as she's mostly playing another game right now anyway. Something I know, because yes, I do engage with her content.

The OP can speak for himself. You've been here for an astonishing 10,673 posts. Certainly you've seen this poster and his behavior here given he has multiple threads (all negative) spamming throughout the top 5 to 7 pages of the forums here. He's an instigator and rude, and not the saccharin and polite poster you tried to make him out to be when you decided to rewrite his points. Instead, he rudely wrote "nobody asked" to be dismissive, and then ended his other response to me with "suck it!" This is not how you speak to another adult, or anyone really. On other forums like ESO's that has an active community team, this type of behavior would be moderated. Here I am happy to report that one of his threads I had reported was deleted, but his consistent rule violations according to rules on being polite and not making reptetive posts just goes unmoderated.

For now I'm just going to go back to blocking specific people who have no ability to articulate their own points without stooping to insults. Given this is a video game forum, nothing will be lost by not spending further time on such people.
