Do we really need to question people, why they post here? Kanisatha isn't impolite or rude, he just hangs out here, giving his opinion. That's what forums are for. I'm still hanging around the BioWare forums, despite Not being invested in their newer games anymore, because I like the people there.
There is a certain group of posters here who have been bemoning the game for literal years and telling everyone who will listen they won't play it.
Telling others something sucks when you don't even have experience with that thing is rude. Especially when it seems like that is the only reason they post here.
When you see Swen get teary eyed in the pfh talking about how much he loves this game and then come here on the offical forms to people trolling his team, for literal years, yeah its going to make some posters here upset.
If posters who haven't even played the game have a right to troll these boards, than others have the right to call them out on it from time to time, imo. Your statement "do we really need to question people, why they post here," cuts both ways.
Yeah and what exactly do you hope to get out of that? You will only escalate things and make Queens life as moderator hard. Maybe instead say, what you like about the game and that you appreciate the hard work of the Larian team ( and yes, I know, that you do that already). I'm not saying you or kanisatha should stop, but maybe don't get personal about it, is all I'm saying.
I dont see how commenting on these posts is an escalation, especially when posts of this nature are really the only thing these accounts post.
There are some accounts here you would have to stop responding to entirely to not "escilate" things because their posts are always of a provocative nature.
Either way I think this discussion is pretty on topic for the thread title and said posters come here with a provacative post first. So I don't really see addressing them here as derailing a thread.
At the end of the day I'm trying to reason with posters like these, make them see how much time they have spent hating a game they dont even play, hoping I can get through to them. But if I see them derail non meta threads like this one in the future I'll just report them as red queen suggests and not engage.
