QQ / Complaints ans Comparisons
Now almost every time I see someone complaining, making a suggestion, making a simple statement, pointing out a flaw. Basically when I see people giving THEIR opinion
The problem is that most people giving their opinion state it as if it is fact. Granted there are issues and they need to be raised but saying things like "this game sucks because insert thing of displeasure here is insert preferred derogative term here gets people hostile from the start.
However the same thing worded in a more constructive manner e.g. “I don’t like insert insert thing of displeasure here because insert valid argument here, I would like to possibly see them try to fix this by insert suggestion here, what do other people think?”. Is much less likely to inhibit an aggressive response.
In regards to people telling people to “go back to WoW” and such, it’s usually because these people just don’t have anything else to say, it is the generic go to response for people without any real argument.

This is incorrect.
By default, every single post that is made out there on all forums of this world is someones opinion unless he states that what he is saying is quote or result of some kind of studies.
So when I say something sucks, is boring or is fun it is my opinion by default. That is what forum is made for, so you can discuss and exchange your opinions with other people. What you are suggesting is that I started this post with “IMHO this is incorrect, but that is only IMHO, like my opinion only and not a fact seriously, imho”. That is how you expect every sentence to look like? People who attack someones post with “don’t make your opinions a fact” simply had nothing to say, had no counter argument and it is nothing more than yet another easy cop out like “I stopped reading here…” or whining about some small typo.
The reason why such behaviour is everywhere in the internet is because of lack of any decent moderation. I have seen people call eachother idiots on official forums for commercial games because someone staded he likes or dislikes something. Now if in every single case you would get 1 year ban for showing any kind of hostility you would get nicest forums on the planet in one week. That is all it takes, brutal ruthless moderation.
Now what is the source of zealot like defending of a commercial products 5 minutes after buying them as people would defend their family members, that part I am unable to understand and never will.
You claim that is because how someone wrote a sentence. I have seen people stating “I love this product but this one thing bothers me” and they have been ridiculed and flammed to oblivion. It doesn’t matter if its game, movie, music or electronics because that is what “fanboys” do.
So game is mediocre. Yes that is obviously my opinion and I should not be forced to state that because that is common logic.
