Some have openly admitted they're here to argue and lash out at "white knights", not to actually provide feedback under.

    They will say they're here to provide feedback one day, then the next claim that the devs don't listen to this place at all.....meaning their wasting their time here.

    Forum culture is largely negative. If you want to farm likes here, if you want to be "popular", you trash the game and trash other posters who still enjoy it. This has over time shifted the forum culture even more negative. if they were genuinely serious, if they genuinely cared, they would have realized by now that the devs are not listening, and unsub. They wont do this, not because they really care, but becaues they get off on venting their frustrations here. Many are paying subs (and being actively ingame just enough) solely to post here. There's a certain individual here who had two active accounts, one got banned, so he bought another (and boosted it to 80) just to circumvent the daily post limit (by his own admission), then those accounts got banned, and now he's back on ANOTHER fresh boosted account. Just to post here! Some of them will buy multiple accounts just to make it seem like more people agree with them and inflate the likes on their own posts.

    Being opposed to the "GCBTW" has become their identity. Perhaps they cared about this game at one point, but not anymore. They also act the way they do because of the lack of moderation, giving them a (false) sense of security that they can be toxic as much as they want and get away with it. This, to them, has become their personal safe space to act however they want without repurcussion. However, it's not that there is no moderation, it's just that people aren't reporting them, I've recently come to the conclussion. You may have noticed numerous of them have been banned recently, several accounts in the past 2 days. I'd like to say that would teach them a lesson, but as we've seen some of them just come back on fresh accounts and commit the same offenses again. Or some, I've seen, wait out their ban, then immediatley act toxic again. Just report them again until they run out of accounts. I think being banned, for some of them, would be doing them a favor. They'll be forced to find something better to do with their time then lashing out at other people over a game they've long become jaded over, and hopefully move on to greener pastures.

    Well, I will say the post that came right after the one I liked is way more drama than I need lol. Also thumbs down with harassing through tags. If you have something to say, just say it.

    I do want to clarify that I never think in absolutes. While I think some posters are here only for drama and may have an unhealthy attachment to the forums (with a certain such poster even saying this themselves), I don't think any critique of the game is for that reason. Lots of people are here to voice concerns they are sincere about, so it would be an unfair dismissal of such people that generally are here to discuss the game and provide feedback.

    If I wanted universal praise only, I'd be on the reddit that I personally can't stand lol.

    Waow. Just wow. How far do you need to go to think people don't go post negative feedback because they have negatives opinions on the current state of the game but rather because they want some like. I'm baffled.
