For the small group of regulars here.... it's become a fairly poor forum. Can we learn to put our point down, perhaps a clarifying rebuttal if needed and let it go at that? I don't think we really care what you think in terms of "if it was my game I would" to no end. But it is helpful putting things down in text for Devs to review and if it happens great, if not well you made your point.
They've said they read it all, not that we can't repeat some, but this back and forth which leads to insults. I'm saddened if no one else is.
Problem is, the small group of residents here are not without their faults. Just look at this thread as an example. We have an innocent opening statement/question posed by me (the thread's author), followed by two responses from two individuals, followed by a calm response from me to provide additional information on the subject.
The very next statement is a regular (Stabbey) posting
"who cares". followed by
"you must be new to the internet" in a followup post. That doesn't help. That doesn't set threads down the right path.
Then we have Ellary (another regular) hop in and within a handful of posts she's complaining about people ripping the game apart (a complaint she seems to voice in every thread where a concern or question is raised).
We have another thread on the general forum with two new users asking a question, only to be greeted by another forum regular, Darth_Trethon, being his usual charming self by making statements like
"too bad so sad", and then oddly wondering
"Why do people keep perceiving me as an ass?" after being called out on the snark.
Seriously? This is getting old. There are a variety of personalities on these forums, but for the most part they fall into the following categories:
1) Smart @#$$es who don't like questions/being questioned.
2) People who don't respond well to smart @#$$es and are tired of them.
3) People that just wish the other two categories would just ignore one another.
Personally, I feel that I'm a part of that second group. Unfortunately, there are a lot of folks - a lot of "regulars" - in the first group. And, yes, that is saddening. I'm actually looking forward to release when there are many new personalities (hopefully) flooding this forum, because the current pool of personalities needs dilution badly. It'll be much better if/when a mass of voices drowns that nonsense out.
