    Nearly 50% of the threads on page 1 are necros.

    Also, you previously said that any thread you wanted to make has already been made. Why don't you make a thread discussing the old topics of 2013? You can then keep this all in one thread.

    You seem like potentially one of the more reasonable people here so I'd like to ask you a legitimate question - why do you care?

    Really? Do you know exactly how many threads spawned between August 2013 and December 2013? There are not many current active members who have been a part of the forums for that long. There are easily over 9000 threads created in that timeframe (take a look if you don't believe me. It starts from page 1769 and goes all the way to the last page, 2264). Do you know how many different topics spawned from everything in between?

    I suspect that 50% is there's an unnecessarily antagonistic pair of players who are now openly admitting to abusing the report button, and in turn, we are responding by not allowing them to cyber-bully us - yes, I am going there because at the end of the day, they seem to be offended, so why not shut the 'offending necro players up' by openly, publicly saying they're being reported multiple times on the discussion forum just because they themselves don't like it.

    The other part is that, yes, some of this is a fun little game, finding something that could be pretty relevant to discuss while also reviving it in hopes of a fairly good discussion. Fun fact: I didn't know race/gender stats was an overall thing with other MMOs until recently. I found this very thread we're in to be a welcome moment of humor that is now turning into a petty argument because folks are looking for the smallest of reasons to be offended. I also didn't know, in one of my other necros, that the dev team actually gave out T-shirt to participating in specific fights (Titan HM and Odin come immediately to mind).

    Perhaps you misunderstood. Instead of necroing all of the threads, you can consolidate your discussion about all of these old threads into one thread. Then everyone who is interested can partake, and you don't fill up the entire first page with necros.

    Kind of like a new "Tales of the Duty Finder" thread except you discuss tales of 2013.

    Since you still haven't answered - why do you care?

    Oh, so "I don't want to scroll past things, much less click on a page marker" is a valid reason to report people now.

    Laziness at a whole new level, thank you for confirming.
