Stop engaging with threads you don't like

[Coratanni]

No. Really. You know who you are. Every single thread that goes up. Negetive or positive you try to silence the OPs or even personally attack them when they say what you don't like. [ and no were not talking about constructive disagreement. Were talking about the same people commenting the same thing on every single thread] "bye" "quit the game pls" "we dont want you here"

It isn't making you look smart. The class isn't laughing with you. You're bumping threads to be seen by more people that you hate. Thus feeding the op when if your right and they just wanted attention; starving them of it is so much better a tactic to make them go away.

It just feel like flinging for the sake of flinging and not actually believing in anything you say. Cbu3 and yoship aren't vulnerable maiden's. You don't have to defend there honour

Using your mentality against you here...

If you don't like the responses you're getting, maybe don't step out into the public forum? The second anyone posts on social media, you open the door to hearing criticism. You don't get to throw out an opinion, and somehow be protected from others being thrown back at you. That's not how it works. I've read your threads. They aren't anything that hasn't been posted here before. Mostly as bait.

Except I haven't been doing that. Its you that's been telling people to quit if they're unhappy. Do you think I want my favourite game to die. How narrow minded can you... must you be to have seen all my posts. Everything I've said and only taken THAt away from it. To me it says you haven't even been reading them

Also. Why are you ; you but my individuality is stripped. I must be titanmen because I say one thing and you don't. Can't you see the hypocrisy. You're also taking this "against" thing too personally imo. And that's why I think personally you should walk away from threads of the people you dislike. Because its not as simple as saying why you disagree. It's personal and unnecessary barrages. It's not justified no matter how much you try to. It's playground bully behaviour. But you will no doubt not read my comment, and dismiss it with some gif or fast typed reply. In the end the only one you are attacking is yourself

I kind of feel it funny that someone is complaining about Stormpeaks telling them to quit. Simply cause there was a time when they would be on the side of stop telling people to quit the game. As they have stated that the main reason why they still play this game is due to their house. Also can we seriously stop it with the whole me and anyone else who agrees with me are the only ones who don't want the game to die. Just because someone else might be happy with the things that you or others are currently not doesn't mean that they want the game to die. Just that they are happy with how X is in the current version of the game. Take crafting for example. Back in HW there were many who loved how hard it was not only to get into it but to actually craft things at end game. Those same people have been complaining since it has been changed from how it was then. While many back then complained about the complexity of it. Same thing with the 2 min meta. Raiders (mostly) complained about how hard and how bad it felt if you died when it came to buff line ups.

People have started to learn to post about changes or systems put in that they like instead of being silent for the most part. Cause why should they go to the forums to post something about how they enjoy X. Because otherwise they'll end up becoming like the people who are now after having at least four years worth of exploratory content complaining the instant they didn't get any. And it is hard to notice a few non complaining threads by the same person when the majority are well complaint threads.

Or stop sh*tposting

[Aravell]

I don't know if the OP is a troll, nor do I care really, but the OP does raise a good point.

There are some people who wouldn't classify as positive or negative, the ones who enter a thread and say nothing but stuff like "who cares", "literally who?" or "is this a Titanmen thread?". Those people are indeed non-constructive and aren't contributing to a thread at all. In the same vein, there are also 2 other types of non-constructive people, the ones that go "this game sucks, shut up" to any positive thread and the ones that go "this game is great, shut up" to any negative thread. There's also the people who go into threads for the sole purpose of attacking OP or anyone else in the thread.

But it's definitely hard to get everyone to behave courteously on the internet, so perhaps it's better to just ignore people that you don't like.

[Kyssa]

Jesus, this whole thread reeks of "I know you are, but what am I?". Ridiculous.

[StarRosie]

Better idea. Accept that not everyone is gonna be polite, learn to just ignore them and move on. It's not that hard. Sheesh...

[Saraide]

OP, your choices and behavior shape the direction of the thread. If you respond to posts that derail or rile you up, you're telling everyone that's what you're interested in. You may say you dont want the forum drama but your interactions then prove otherwise. Take your own advice here, dont engage with people you have already labeled trolls in your head. If you're right then you are just giving them the attention they starve for.

Unfortunately for you, you don't get to dictate who is allowed to post in a thread.

I believe in what I say. If I'm uncertain, I'll express doubt. If I don't, I'll indicate it's sarcasm.

I'm not trying to defend the honor of the developers. I'm trying to encourage other players to accept the realities of the situation and make choices based on those realities that will lead to their greater gaming satisfaction and hopefully happiness.

The game is not going to change because you're unhappy but still paying money for it when the majority of players still appear to be satisfied or better. The game still has more subscribed players now than it had before the start of the largest WoW exodus in the summer of 2021. There's nothing going on that would encourage SE to make any significant changes to their formula.

You have choices:
Adapt to what the game currently is and get what enjoyment you can find from it.
Continue to post complaints and be miserable as nothing really changes despite your complaints and continued subscription.
Quit the game and move onto other games that will give you the gaming experience you're seeking.

Is that really so difficult to swallow?

Do you think I want my favourite game to die.

Your favorite game is in no danger of dying in the foreseeable future. You can relax on that point.

Engages in thread.

[redheadturk]

See, most of us here, through experiencing the nonsense that is Gaius, Titanmen, whoever you want to call them, have developed a sensitive troll radar. When you see a single poster making a bunch of controversial/edgy/bait threads and trying to push a bunch of them to the front page, our troll alarm goes off.

You, sindrilla, are currently that person. This thread is even more proof that you're not interested in the discussion you say you're asking for, but rather are just trying to rile up the community.

Dude, someone expressing concern with how the game is going does not a troll make. I have played this game since 3.5 I can cite pieces of lore most people have forgotten. I just hate EW because of objectively poor choices. Ya know, trying to justify genocide, cramming what was supposed to be two expansions into one, not allowing your character to have objections to the crap "Mother" pulled, and then following it up with a dull and forgettable patch cycle where the eight man raids were the only bright spot and having very little to do otherwise. Yeah, there is plenty to be concerned about.

Edit to add: Have you ever thought some of us kept our subs for the purpose of being in the one place where our concerns might have some small chance of being addressed?
