Why do we have to dwell on meaningless issues?

[auritribe]

What are we debating, exactly? Because I thought you just made two separate and incorrect assumptions about what I was saying.

Wait, what were you saying again?

I don't even remember anymore.

I dont think I am going to make it to 2.0...If this is going to be the kind of community on this site I dont know if I want to be a part of it so I may very well just back out. I come to these forums in hopes of seeing some theory crafting, lore explanations, game system explanations and maybe some funny game related comics to be the in between of information posted by the devs.

Instead these forums are just becoming a politically charged vehicle and honestly I play these games to get away from life for a few hours of my life. Life is brutal and tiring yet i chug on day after day and take comfort in my hobbies. The moment my hobby becomes polluted with the same problems real life faces every day is the time around when it stops being a game and it just becomes another political agenda.

I may take some advice frome arlier in the thread and just take a break from the forums for a while and wait for the posts that pertain to the game systems / lore to come back. I get enough politics else where. I dont know what happened to playing a game to slay mobs and find treasure, nowadays the game seems to revolve around debating politics.

Well we're currently not debating anything. I'm pointing out the fact that your opinion on what is or isn't nitpicking isn't universal.

Your exact quote:

We're tearing our community apart by arguing over the most inane crap imaginable.

is leading anyone to the assumption that your referencing what the OP is referencing.

All of which is subjective. I found your opinion that it's "Inane crap" disagreeable so I decided to bring it up. This is called debating.

If you didn't mean that, it was on your back to explain your point in a clearer way.

Internet protip: Avoid any forum category with the word 'General' in it. You're welcome.

Welcome to MMOs.

As someone who is experienced in many of them allow me to firsthand tell you that this is one of the tamest and constructive message boards you'll find for them. As toxic and annoying as it is, others are far worse.

Besides who gives a shit about the forums, it's the people in the game that count. The ones you play with. If you enjoy them, that's all that matters.

If I took these boards seriously I'd have probably offed myself a long time ago.

Eh ive been a part of more MMOs then I really care to admit, and this one by far gets the most political unfortunately. Complaining and bashing is far more rampant in other games, however this one gets far too politically charged for some reason. Maybe it means this forum community is slightly above the average intelligence of most mmo forum communities haha
