An idea to have less nonsense whine topics.
I do agree something should be done, i read these forums twice a week and each time i do it depresses the heck out of me.
If you go to any other class forum and its all about sharing builds or stories, here its post after post complaining about one skill/build after another.
The worst part about it is Thieves will ALWAYS have this stigma attached to them as being button mashing noobs with ‘i win’ buttons because of how they’re designed.
Where other classes have to use other skills whilst waiting on cooldowns (and thus convincing themselves that it surely must take more skill to play ‘X’ class since they use ALL their skills) a Thief is free to use the best skill for the given situation and worry instead about initiative consumption.
knowledge requirements … and noobs who whant to learn the profession?
moreover if “they” can’t whine here, they’ll do into the general section.

Sometimes I think a downvote/upvote system would be great for such forums.
So many thing disappear because they don’t cause enough controversy to provoke comments.
On the other hand provocative posts, opinionated blabber etc. attract far more attention because everyone can chime in.

This is a profession sub-forums, No balancing suggestion(eh) should be posted in here. If they want to learn, Fine! Thieves community have shown that they totally support those kind of topics, But what about those flaming topics which don’t even get removed by Moderators? Things like “Hey thieves, Nerfbat is going to hit your BS next, har har har.”
Maybe they should create a sub-forum called Whining kiddo’s lobby or something…Cause most of our time and focus is on answering and proving the obvious to people whom don’t even know the abilities.
As a sidenote: most of the problem might be coming from death recaps, Since it says how much damage you’ve taken from BS for example, most players might just look and think: “Oh i’ve received 15k damage from BS! HORYSHET, OP, NERF!” they don’t even take a second look and check HOW MANY FRIKKING BACKSTABS or even never think how dumb one can be to get hit by multiple backstabs in a row.
and so on…
@ Mitris also don’t forget the death recap bugs a lot because it bases of damage logs which bug; Like saying they got hit by a 15k backstab when it was really a 3k Mug, 5k Cloak and dagger and 7k Backstab. Has happened to me many times
On topic, I think it should be an INSTANT forum suspension if you post any nerf or balance thread without giving a minimum of 10 minutes of video footage as evidence, and/or 3 screenshots.
This is being VERY generous too I would expect a ton more
