What is wrong with people on the forum..?

[Kaurie]

So, simply disagreeing with you makes someone a White Knight? Think on this, this is a public forum, people are free to disagree with each other and post about it all day long. If someone disagrees with your assessment of something and posts in reply to you contradicting your points, that does not make them a 'white knight', it is simply a reply from someone who disagrees with you. Just as you're free to disagree with them. So, if you disagree with someone posting positively, does that make you a Black Knight?

I think the thing is that a lot of the people he is claiming to be a White Knight are unjustly attacking the player who are providing feedback or negative concerns, rather than their concern itself.

For example "you also want a 2-tier system for relic that advantages you like some sort of highway-for-the-rich-only. Except instead of being the 1% of wealthy, it's the 1% of connected raiders."

There is really no need for that kind of discussion. The same message could have been, "I'd have concerns over gating the relic behind raiding, as there are already methods to obtain a great weapon through raiding and this needs to appeal to the casual player who may not be skilled or interested enough in raiding." We could then actually discuss that concern and come to some sort of compromise.


EDIT: I'd like to add, that the White Knight argument is itself hypocritical, as it's also attacking the player rather than the argument. I don't support the use of 'silencing' someone through name-calling, but was merely trying to put a perspective on where I think he is coming from.
