Al_Sparagus Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 General discussion isn't being used for general discussion. 9/10 threads are complaints, and 9/10 of those are poorly written complaints. How about creating a complaint forum so the complainers feel their needs are met and general discussion can be general discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about creating a complaint forum so the complainers feel their needs are met and general discussion can be general discussion. General discussion IS being used for GENERAL discussion...lrn2english General: adj. 1.Concerned with, applicable to, or affecting the whole or every member of a class or category: "subduing all her impressions as a woman, to something more general" (Virginia Woolf). 2.Affecting or characteristic of the majority of those involved; prevalent: general discontent. 3.Of or affecting the entire body: general paralysis. 4.Being usually the case; true or applicable in most instances but not all: the general correctness of her decisions. 5. a.Not limited in scope, area, or application: as a general rule. b.Not limited to or dealing with one class of things; diversified: general studies. 6.Involving only the main features rather than precise details: a general grasp of the subject. 7.Highest or superior in rank: the general manager.

And what I am saying is general discussion is so clogged with complaints that a special forum needs to be made to contain these. It is unreasonable to ask when a general forum is 90% dedicated to one topic that a specialized sub-forum be made?

And what im saying is that the complaints belong here...even this thread, a post that is a complaint about complaints. See, a complaint thread that is a complaint about something in game is actually GAME related and may bring something to the developers attention and maybe lead to an improvement...this thread isnt even game related, its just a whine. A whine about people with concerns over something they are paying money for...yet even this worthless thread that does absolutely NOTHING for the game or the developers belongs in the general forum!

How about creating a complaint forum so the complainers feel their needs are met and general discussion can be general discussion. You're on a forum on a game that was just released, a MMO at that. If you don't expect this then you must not come to a lot of forums early in a games life. Not trying to be a douche either I'm just saying.

Tiriensoul Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Because then all the other forums will be empty. Poor Bioware. Keep telling yourself that. I'm guessing WoW is also dead? Swtor has been number 1 in our country for 3 weeks now, and we are not alone. I've seen they sold alot of copies, keep telling yourself that 75% will leave swtor, if it makes you feel happy. And you know i'm right. It's BioWare, it's star wars, it's an mmorpg. It can't go wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just complaints you agree with? Or just complaints about the game itself. Or are you just having a bad day and feel the need to be a ***** no matter what?

Andryah Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 its not just the complaints, its the same complaints over and over and over again. 600 threads to complain about the same thing just saying it in different ways. it gets old, pretty quick. That's because every snowflake thinks it is unique, special, and entitled over every other snowflake. And yep, it gets old, it makes actual construtive discussion threads get buried on page 6 within minutes. Which is the poster child example of what spam does. Most complaint threads are actually just spam really. They offer nothing productive, they clutter up and clogg the forums and interfere with actual meaninful construtive discussion threads.

Al_Sparagus Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 You could have kept your trolling going if you didnt just go blatant like that. Not trolling. I think there should be a complaint subforum. How is that really such a horrible idea? Do you find it so offensive? Do you think the only way you can get your moneys worth out of the game is to complain on the general forum? Really you need to clarify yourself much better, otherwise it seems you are the troll.

If you really want a suggestion: Deal with it, subscribe to liked threads and read them carefully, quickly browse through other threads and skip obviously unwanted threads entirely. Just do it efficiently without forcing the removal of threads which you don't want to see. Edited January 17, 2012 by GHeissi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
