Positivity!

[Renathras]

What’s toxic about their positivity? What’s wrong with occasionally coming to these forums and balance out the negativity of majority of the threads here? No matter who I speak with in the game, no one has felt content draught and is absolutely happy with the state of the game and EW story. It really seems that people dissatisfied with the game are solely on this forum. So I don’t see any harm in sharing a counter opinion, as a forum is not meant to be only for those bashing the game, but everyone.

What about you learn to accept that probably a majority of people playing this game genuinely love it. The echo chamber of crying and negativity that these forums have become is not reflective of the opinions of countless of others.

You're entirely correct. There are just people so salty, they can't fathom that other people aren't, and they want to convert other people to their way of thinking, by hook or by crook. It's like the saying, "Misery loves company", except when the company isn't miserable with them, they try to make people miserable.

Often people doing that try to hide behind "I'm just offering constructive criticism/critique of the game" and "The forum isn't just for positive posts/feedback, how can it ever get better??", but then they attack any one who says anything remotely positive about it, as if the forum was ONLY for negative posts/feedback. Everyone not on board the negativity train gets dogpiled, even if they have critiques themselves, and anyone who dares post positivity gets their thread attacked and derailed, as well as their personal character and motivations questioned and impugned.

I'm not sure why the moderators allow it, since some of it is pretty nasty and goes well beyond "disagreement" and is likely driving people new to the forums away (some have said as much), especially when so many people seemed to come by here while the Reddit was down (on the Reddit, now that it's up, they're openly mocking this place for its toxic negativity).

Clearly, as you say, most players seem to like the game. Some who can't stand it also can't stand others being happy with it. And before any post in reply to this saying "We're just critiquing the game!"; as I said before, if you were "just critiquing the game", you wouldn't be so dead set on shutting down any positive threads or posts and adding positive posters. Those aren't critiques, those are trying to ensure you have an echo chamber.

Tulvi is right, 100%.

EDIT:

No one outside you guys' circle knows what you are talking about. No one wants to know what you are talking about. And you are definitively off topic. This is not the "personal beef and snipe at each other with random !@%#" thread. Please take it somewhere else and stay on topic here.

TRUTH!
