Black knighting on the forums

[MikkoAkure]

I like how actual critique and suggestions, and in the case of the BLM changes, desperate cries to NOT DO THIS... are portrayed as "black knighting". How ridiculous.

I don't think anyone here said anything about BLM. This forum has been a cesspit since long before the live letter.

When you have a probable gil seller with a dozen accounts constantly making threads trying to convince people to quit, things aren't exactly normal. If someone is being extremely over-the-top about hating the game, check their character and it's probably 1 DoW/DoM leveled to 100 and all DoH/DoL leveled to 100. Not sure why people still take it seriously but internet's gonna internet.

There's normal critique and suggestions and then there's melodramatic threads and trolling.

I agree the forum is a cesspit. That's why, despite playing since HW, I only started actually posting here recently. I generally made a habit of ignoring the forums and staying away from posting, only really lurking on lore threads and whatnot. I'm only posting here to make my feelings about the story and job design known.

My statement is less about who wrote a post, and more about the general sentiments and thoughts about the game. I don't know why you attempted to deflect that with specifics about them, I couldn't care less about that.

My point still stands. Valid criticism is portrayed as "Doomposting" and now "Black Knighting". And all that is, is a means to invalidate the criticism by committing an ad hominem attack. Really what's happening is that it's now ok to talk badly about the game on places like the subreddits and Twitter, so the white knights are just defending the last bastion.
