Forum outrage! An explaination?

[ZakarnRosewood]

Outside of Alpha invites I haven't honestly seen or read a thread that struck me as someone just complaining for the sake of complaining, granted I have also never read or heard about this grass thread..

This rationalization of why people are complaining needs to stop honestly though. It all just strikes me as rather tacky.. like an excuse is being invented for why there is so much criticism on these forums.. criticism that to some is just plain old stupid. But guess what.. you aren't the only one with an opinion.. or the only person who wants this game to be great in their own way. A thread about jumping or something of that matter, about something trivial to you, doesn't make it less than any other post. I'm sorry to bare that news but it just doesn't...

There is absolutely no harm in anyone voicing there opinion about anything as long as there is some kind of reasoning behind it.. as long as it's constructive.

Everyone just wants the game to be great.. take a post for what it is. A person voicing their opinion on what they think is great or not so great with the game. Stop trying to lump them into some percentage or call them nostalgic because, to me, that's just a way of trying to devalue a post.

Its not so much the fact that there are complaints as its the content and way its been going about. I've said before i'm all for people voicing concern and providing constructive feedback. But when it's the 10th Thread about gay marriage or jump or any topic for that matter and its the same ideas being thrown around by the same people getting louder and louder, this tells me they dont think they are being heard. Possibly a byproduct of the previous team? I dont know.

It just feels like the sheer volume of posts will make their point heard when it instead gets lost in the flood of pointless posts. I'm even willing to concede that this thread is one of those useless threads but it comes in response to threads that have over 80 pages of posts that could be condensed down to maybe a dozen or so posts when you take out repeated info and personal attacks.

But its just my opinion. This has never in the history of the internet helped anyone see anything from another's point of view, all it does is give someone else the opportunity to speak their mind even louder. At least in my experience, although it is a bit of an exaggeration on my part, i will admit.
