Anyway, I’ll sort of gracefully exit this thread and stop boring y’all

I still think trying to think in solutions might work more in your favour. Open up a thread addressed at SE how advice and feedback so easily being dismissed as elitist toxicity or harassment is stifling player growth and meaningul player interaction. Gather your troops, like the hell out of it, see if you can get it to gain traction and try open up a discussion with SE because I understand how their behaviour in this may fuel this particular frustration instead of helping with it.

Request class stickies for good, up to date gameplay guides on the role forums. Explain how that would help new/inexperienced players and how being able to refer them there would be a good thing.

Just two examples, maybe not the best ones, you can probably think up better but this is pretty much what I mean. If something frustrates you and you have sound reasoning for it, try changing it. It may do nothing, maybe it’s already been tried to no avail in which case the frustration would only make more sense, but even then a proper new discussion should not be off the table.

Anyway, I’m off to enjoy the autumn sun!
