Community Contest Discussion

Instead of posting *** contests and tid-bits of frivolous lore, could you please give us some ARR updates.

Flood? I don't think so.

If you don't think the scarf is worth the time, don't participate - go on as if the contest never existed.

Also, you apparently think that ARR news and side contests like this are mutually exclusive...

Also, you apparently think that ARR updates and community events are somehow mutually exclusive.

Maybe you think that the legal team and forum mods should be spending more time working on the benchmark program??

LOL responded to myself...

What happened to the edit button?

This sounds like a nice addition at the end. And as far as the scarf, it need not do anything special, it need just be a trophy. You see someone wearing it and think "I wonder which contest they won?"

People are being rude but at this point can we really blame them, just goes to show how irritated and upset people are at this point. Exactly 2 weeks till the character data save date and we are still left in the dark about a lot of ARR features and info.

I've been thinking for a while that the state of these forums is an absolutely fascinating study in the decent from euphoric hope to depraved ranting in a matter of months. I haven't decided if who is to blame, or if anyone is, but it is clearly true. The tonal shift on these boards is so pronounced, it's amazing the servers don't physically catch fire.

I'm also starting to wonder if this is a chicken and egg problem. Did Yoshi-P stop visiting and posting personally because he doesn't want to give information, which inflamed the populous, or is there less information because the populous is inflamed and Yoshi-P is loosing momentum. God knows, reading these forums is enough to give anyway fits of depression. Though similar to the aforementioned chicken and egg, it's pretty much impossible to tell which came first.

This is why we can't have nice things

I do understand people want 'Flood' of information regarding ARR but bit childish/rude to hijack a contest thread don't you think? How old are you??

There are other threads already talking about it and I am sure the reps are doing their best to try and get any information they can while they may have new info maybe they are not allowed to just post yet until they get the GO sign from YoshiP.

Seriously ... human nature never ceases to amaze me.

Give us some damn ARR info or just shut the servers down early and do some real work.

You know these community reps aren't involved with development right?

[PSxpert2011]

This doesn't surprise me at all. I'm not much of a story tale-teller but I look forward to a couple of ghost-stories.

SE and our community reps have to expect this type of behavior and post is SE plan to aim their product to a larger audience. You'll find some good, bad and ugly(if not childish & immature) people out there.
