Genuine Question Here

[MagesBal]

Love how it's been people with 5 posts and fewer who joined the forums in June 2023 who have posted this and similar three times now.

Hmm, you look like you're itching for the gaze of the Emperor.

It IS a dangerous precedent to set. Mass reporting someone for what you THINK they're doing wrong is not good nor fair. Doesn't matter if they get banned or not. It's the principle behind the action.

Don't violate the ToS and no one would even report you. Simple.

Not really surprising it's the same person doing it.

Big talk, but the mods aren't just gonna ban someone on your say so, even if you do mass report. They do actually do their job when a report is sent to them. Also, stop threatening other posters.

Ok, if you're being genuine, I'll bite. For one, people who have criticisms for the game are not in the majority as yet no matter how loud we may seem. Some of us get aggressive because we have been attacked, shouted down, called fascist, called genocidal, called Trancers, just because we think the Ancients got crapped on by the dev team and Venat got elevated far more than she should have and did not get called on her crap. For two, no, I don't think they should "go away". I just want them to desist in shouting us down and actually understand our point of view and admit hey, there may be a grain of rightness in what we're saying and that we may just have a point.

I think this was a matter of who wrote the post and who it came from, and how they wrote it vs what people think/feel. Some of us do think and feel this way, but none thought to write a post about it because it is non-contributory. But then again, there are a lot of threads written by a certain person's marid of alts that are also non-contributory and yet gain far more traction in favor of their point. Probably boils down to the induvial's reputation rather than the thread.

There is no "myriad of alts". We are all different people, just because we have the same views does not make us alts of one another.

I was referring to the local forum troll who does in-fact have an army of alts at their disposal. They themselves have admitted to it.

This is still abit Questionable, because there is a handful of Users that like to go around and Necro / Revive & post in old threads that nobody has posted in for a while.
And if you look at their accounts, they have 1 combat Job Leveled, and all Crafters Leveled.
And they all had Weird names...sometimes were ALL the Same Midlander with the same skintone and face type, and whenever they posted on threads, they would say the same things. One of these accounts even responded to a Conversation directed at someone else, and they came in responding as if they were the ones being talked to...which paints the idea...the previous user ran out on their Post limit, and so switched accounts to respond.

So...stuff like that calls into Question if its just 1 person on a bunch of Alts. Not EVERYONE of course, but just people who show a very clear pattern, and arnt even subtle about it.

I'm one of those people in that pool who have criticisms - mainly regarding balance of the game and content. And yes, we get defensive when it comes to people trying to refute the claims we make since we're trying to make a case for X or Y to be discussed at length. We can agree to disagree on some things of course, but when it comes to forum posters, I usually just reading the forums like I do the news: skimming. Every time I roll around to General Discussion, it tends to be chaotic because of either TitanMen creating mundane threads that are jagged and pointed or whatever you call them at the dev team or even just CBU3 in general; or, I can run across a good topic of discussion like this one.

In regards to OP's post though, I'd say that it's important that there is a modicum of negativity to be had in certain cases, namely with how a majority of raiders loathe how the 2 minute burst window was forced on us to name one case. Of course, you have the uproar threads like regarding Endwalker's story and ending that also have thorough discussion - with some good in-between. The other fact is it that having these types of discussions typically is good for GMs to read and allows them to even consider feedback in certain cases(even though we all know NA NEVER is taken into account regarding feedback...)

What I'd personally want is moderators to take a more active stance in our forum and clean up the place of troll alts so we can actually see what people are talking about instead of this necro'd nonsense(unless it's necro'd for good reason on extremely rare occasion).

My apologies for immediately jumping to the conclusion you were talking about those of us who agree with Theodoric, as we have been called their alts lol

This question doesn't feel genuine.
