    Thats relative to the target audience

    Once again it is all relative. For instance, if someone won the lottery and said to you "I give millon dolars to yu cuz I hav and dont need it at al and stuff here yu go," I'm sure you'd understand them perfectly

    To the OP: I know you're tired of people ranting senselessly. However, ranting about a rant makes you just as guilty. If it bothers you, simply disregard that thread. If you notice the same people doing this repeatedly, you can blacklist them. Lastly, in our society, a sensible alternative is not required for criticism. When I go to a restaurant where I've paid money for a meal, if it tastes bad I am not obligated to tell the chef what would have made my food better.

    I think perhaps what you meant to say was
    "When you rant, try to make it constructive. At least pretend this is a game you have an interest in playing. Try to avoid negativity when possible, and in doing so, the community as well as the developers may feel more inclined to respond"

    To everyone else, not everyone went to school with you. To disregard someone's opinion because it isn't punctuated appropriately is cultural discrimination. If you went to order food and the waiter told you he wasn't taking your order because you ended the sentence with a preposition, you would surely consider him obnoxious, at the very least. With all things, patience is key.

    Oh, I understood what he meant. I just can't take him seriously.

    And it's not really about "cultural discrimination", but about trying to slow down the deterioration of the english language.

    No, it's about E-peen.

    And the OP is correct, whether or not his spelling, grammar or punctuation was good or not. These forums were not put in place to complain, they were put in place so the devs could receive constructive feedback about what is wrong with the game.

    In saying for example;

    "This game sucks, it's so boring and there's nothing to do"

    as opposed to

    "This game is boring, because levequests are repetitive and there are no decent and in depth quests that draw me into the world."

    This is what the OP was saying, you all understood, you all chose to attack the guy based on his spelling, derailing the topic. You need to realise that this is the internet and there are some people out there who think differently from you. Some people do not think spelling matters, some people think it does. You do not know the person, and making fun of his post for such a silly reason makes you look bad yourself.

    Please do not derail the topic any more than it already is.

    Naturally, some people think that the way people construct words ands sentences is irrelevant. This is fine. I'm not that fussed either, as long as people do basic things like use full stops. The OP didn't even try. And the raging and swearing didn't really help. If he tried to get his point across in a more polite manner, I'd be more forgiving.

    As far as the actual topic at hand goes, we've discussed this many times already. The conclusion was that most, if not all people agreed that constructive critisism is the way to go. But then, no matter how much we talk about it, people will still complain. And complain about the complaining. And complain about the complaining about the complaining.

    The only way you can really counter this is by making constructive posts yourself.
