Please add downvotes to the forums

The thing is, I've seen much more constructive discussion on Reddit than I've seen on the OF. I don't know why but it's plain to see that if I was a dev, I'd look at Reddit first for feedback (which is probably what they do anyway).

Eh not really. I remember back in late ARR highlighting that Eos was a DPS gain over Selene because Selene’s haste tooltips were massively misleading, some jobs didn’t like the haste buff and Whispering Dawn was so powerful that it simply allowed you to sit in cleric for longer.

Needless to say I got downvoted hard enough to get shadowbanned as this line of thinking wouldn’t come to be accepted until HW.

You lose as much as you gain with downvotes, /shrug

I fail to see how downvotes would help, as the trolls and those who enjoy dancing in their chaos would just use them to their own advantage. If anything perhaps getting rid of votes would be more helpful? I dunno. Moderation would be the best option but that seems like an impossibility on these forums.
