    I DO have a problem with the people who tell people that are level 50(and that ARE NOT RUSHING) to "go play something else, you shouldn't have rushed you content locust". They say these things to the people that aren't even content locusts. They accuse ANYONE of being higher level than them a RUSHER. THAT is what I am talking about. Please try to understand this.
    It may not be your intent, but it is how you are coming across and nothing breeds negativity like perceived slights and lashing out. For example you have stated more than once now that people must be trying not to level if they aren't hitting 50. But truthfully just as you from your perspective don't understand why people keep telling you that you are rushing, the other side doesn't understand why you keep telling them they must be trying to not level. I don't see either as being entirely true here.

    It is hard to see things from another perspective, and forums are notoriously hard to keep civil because it is so easy to misunderstand each other especially when everyone has an agenda or personal grievance. As long as you keep trying to prove you didn't rush, by telling other people they must not be playing right, or are just "white knights" (which is so often used in a derogatory sense), you are going to simply confirm in the eyes of many that you are in denial, or are trolling.

    I am sorry there are so many overly defense and aggressive people on in the forums, but while I can understand your point of view, the way you are going about trying to answer those who disagree with you is half the problem, and a large part of the problem with these forums in general. Tone and tact, recognizing the other persons perspective, if only so you can express your own opinion in terms they will understand.

    Anyway, don't let the negativity on these boards get you down and try to avoid feeding into it, and I hope when you come back for 2.1 or 2.2 you find it more appealing overall. I for one think there is room for everyone's play style in a game like this, as long as they are willing to be considerate of those whose style is different.

    I apologize then if that is how it was coming across. That was not my intent.
