This community is really horrible, there's no way anyone could think otherwise. Beta forums, testers and non-tester, were full of trolls and people throwing their nerd rage at every ******** conflagration that erupted. That is to say: Just about every damn post in every damn thread is molten nerd rage being tended by our troll overseers as a shepard tends his flock.
Some of the threads, a rare few, are awesome and deserve to be preserved. The rest could be deleted by the mods as soon as they pop up and the community would be a thousand times better off. It's like letting a bunch of tumors chill on your patients body until they become malignant. It's not a good thing.
Here's hoping I don't have to turn off general chat in game like I have every other MMO...except RIFT at level 50. That was an entertaining chat where everyone knew each other and drama was kept to a minimum. Good RP-PvP servers, where chat is 10% less ********....just enough, sometimes, to make it worth participating in.
