Why the hate with endgame fights?

[Jerichai]

Gotta love how the OP asks why a segment of the population doesn't like endgame content...and when those people oblige...I've seen a significant number of OP's replies aimed at insulting them or flat out saying this opinion is wrong (somehow OP thinks opinions are wrong...).

Just one of many reasons I've started to wish developers would just stop having official forums for their MMOs. Productive conversation rarely happens here. LOL

Could you please quote where the OP, specifically the OP, has been insulting people who disagree? Every instance of it you can find within this thread please, since you did say "a significant number".

So...why even bother coming to the OF of games if you know you're unlikely to find productive conversation?

I mean...just see any of the replies to folks that have commented that they're turned off by what they perceive as a toxic community? There's several (admittedly not all OP) on the first few pages.

Why am I here? Boredom, mostly, and not a lot of time to game. Will occasionally look through some of the photo threads...cause it's hard for those to turn into a venomous hell hole. And yeah, I'll occasionally click on a thread that catches my interest...expecting the worse.

But do tell me, since you seem angered by my opinion, what exactly has this thread accomplished? How is the community better off from the last 30 pages?

Your point is remarkably less valid when you have to admit that no, they're not all OP.

OP had one post on page 1: the OP. On page 2 they responded to a lot of people in a single post, can't find anything I'd call negative there. Page 3, again nothing really negative; certainly none of her telling anyone their opinion is invalid. In fact, on page 15:

Well...I did say this was an open discussion. And as far as I know, it still is. I have welcomed open opinions - yes, me and Riyah have been going back and forth for quite some time, but I don't view that as a bad thing. It's a debate. You've seen Presidential Debates, right? They engage in similar circular arguments throughout their three debates. We just happen to be passionate about our stances. Either we'll agree to disagree, or we'll find a middle ground.

This in response to a poster asking why many people were responding to Riyah's posts still. So in my search I've found one example to the opposite of your claim--that OP is disrespecting opinions, and none to support your claim. I don't necessarily care what people other than the OP have or have not been saying, as your original claim was OP made the conversation and was stonewalling opposing opinions on it.

So boredom and a love for the taste of salt. That's basically why I'm on the forums too.

But do tell me, since you seem angered by my opinion, what exactly has this thread accomplished? How is the community better off from the last 30 pages?

I never said it was better off, or that the thread did add to the community. But what has it detracted from the community? The time of people who responded? That was their choice to spend it, either way.

If nothing else, then it's net-neutral, and there are no issues. Perhaps you shouldn't read your own emotions into my post, which merely called you on your attempt to drive in and drop a comment smearing the OP and trying to drive off.

You know what I love? People accusing someone of "insult" around when there isn't any. Same thing with "toxic" and "elitist".

If only those same people could actually provide quote or quotes to back that up. Hmm....

Hmm, seems similar to making blanket statements about casual players being lazy, entitled, stupid...though that may just be me.

(Also I realized a few posts ago that I mixed the OP up with another poster and apologized to OP)
