These forums are weird

[ZephyrMenodora]

Bro literally a majority of people posting in here are the same people who react to every supposed troll thread.

How much else is there other than troll threads that take up a large portion of the general forum? Who feels like opening themselves up to personal attacks for starting threads on what they enjoy about the game?

People who have something positive to say at best are viewed as having an "agenda" (um...what agenda? Not like we are shareholders) or have "tired" points. These are some of the nicer responses we get. Meanwhile the 10th topic about how terrible Endwalker is - somehow new and refreshing?

The alleged "positive" threads are more often than not thinly veiled attempts to ridicule valid criticism going on in other threads by people who are aware and willing to discuss the issues we've seen this expansion. Again, we see through it so forgive people if we don't fall for such an obvious ploy.

Fortunately in 2 days you won't have to worry about this supposed ridicule.

Your long, onerous vigil will soon be at an end, good Aveyond. Rejoice.

You're posting in a forum for a game that's populated by fans of said game. Of course criticism is gonna get some pushback. It's not complicated.

Have you read most of the 'positive' threads? Most of the time they are bait threads lol. Like this one is very very baity - and it hooked a good amount of the same people who post negative and a good amount of people who follow around those people like protectors of the game.

Like we talk about the 10th topics about how terrible Endwalker is yet like there is a healer discussion, a megathread about hair requests, viera/hrothgar complaint megathread, the marriage megathread all on front page. All of these are valid posts and points.

Is the negative trend getting a bit out of hand? Maybe, but then again you have to decide if it is actual complaints or supposed trolling - not every thread is the same.

I have. Seeing fans on a game's forums and thinking "oh that must be all about me even though I'm not mentioned" is more the person viewing such topics as bait.

Also not sure how much discussion you think people get out of a marriage megathread or requests for hair lol.
