Counterpoint to all the Debbie Downers lately...

[texas_boy]

For those that lurk on the forums and are seeing all the repeated negative downer posts keep in mind it seems that this has turned into an echo chamber for a few of the bad actors who seem to thrive on stirring up drama and seeing what kind of reaction they can get.

The game in reality vs. the game presented here in the forums are not the same game.

I log in 7 days a week, play with my many friends I've made in the FC and have an absolute blast doing so. In my roughly two years here I've never heard ONE person moaning about what you see here on the forums. We have a great time and will continue to do so.

See you in Eorzia!

No, not bait, but actually how I feel. Figured I would get somewhat crucified for it but just getting tired of all the negative stuff going on in the forums. Surely I'm not the *only* person who enjoys playing the game?

Then why cast aspersions? You could just as easily have said you and your friends are having a great time with the game. Instead of stopping there, you chose to make inferences about other posters and their intentions. Every forum has its pot-stirrers, but your phrasing very much seems to be aimed at more than the two or three known trolls we have kicking about at the moment. Can't say I'm looking to crucify anybody. I just didn't see the need for the inflammatory remark tacked on at the end. If you weren't looking to post bait, then you kinda shot yourself in the foot with it.

If you enjoy the game, more power to you. That's great. You have something you like doing and people to do that thing with.

Many of those of us criticizing it aren't doing it because we hate it or want to cause problems or what have you. Setting aside people venting their frustrations, the objective of criticism is normally to bring about change or improvement. It's something people do when they care.

You can enjoy the game, I largely do, but realize it has some glaring and deep flaws that absolutely aren't being addressed.

99% of the threads are. I'm waiting for the delete furries thread with a bowl of popcorn.

You complain about echo chambers but your post is literally about how everything is fine from your own bubble. Not exactly a convincing argument.

But, but, but... Everything *is* fine in my 'bubble'. That's the point.

Nobody asked, nobody cares.
I don't know what get into the mind of people when they feel threatened by other people's opinions. People disliking the game doesn't invalidate your experience. Some people can be fine with the game while others aren't and both can be correct in their opinion you know?

You've cared enough to post twice already.
