You have completely derailed the discussion that was happening because of said post. So in fact, you have proved my point. I at no point said i was better. The title implied a discussion on those who are a bit shortsighted on the games development. It brought relevant and intellectual discussion posts until you decided to flame the person who created the thread. I’m unsure of your reasoning or logic in doing this but you have done nothing but prove that people would rather flame others than have constructive things to say. This post was specifically to discuss what I felt, the disclaimer was simply to avoid people saying that this was how I want the game to be etc. At no point EVER did I say people cannot speak up or complain, I fail to see where you are getting this. But I can attempt to clarify once again JUST for you and maybe others who just didn’t get it:
This thread is to ask people to not troll, flame, harass others who had ideas or complaints. And for those who do complain to take a moment and see the entire picture before just posting a complaint that is not followed by a constructive suggestion. That is the entire point of this thread, and others have gone with the theme. The only person bashing anyone here is you, not that I mind, I’m a big boy and can take it. But seriously you have done nothing but derail some very good suggestions and discussions, which again, was the point of this thread. I’m very sorry if you or others for some reason thought I was somehow saying “I’m better than you, do things my way”. Clearly that wasn’t my intention. Now I don’t wish to sit here and have this pointless argument with you since clearly your headed somewhere with what YOU think my thread is about, and that road I’m not going to follow. I encourage others to continue with the interesting and enlightening discussion as was the purpose of this thread.
So you instantly dismiss what im saying yet again because it does not match up with what you view as your intent.
Fine. Let me give you a “Proposed Change” some constructive criticism.
Your topic line, is bad. Instead of labeling people as being shortsighted you could have instead started off with something like so.
“An in-depth look at the direction of change”
You can then lead off your first paragraph with something along these lines.
I believe, Anet is trying and to make a truly enjoyable product for the masses, and while the past few patches may have rubbed you the wrong way its not all bad. Infact … (insert claims of praise here). That isn’t to say they have strayed and made mistakes however i believe these slow patches are a sign of greater things to come (insert hypothesis here). I would like to see others take on this.
Your entire introduction then no longer needs a disclaimer
Instead you went the route of naturally introducing a divisive nature into your topic not once but twice. I’ll point this out again, then you keep on this path and use logical fallacies throughout your posting. If you really wanted any insightful constructive discourse to occur you would have refrained from all of that.
