iheartnyc Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Wow. What a terrible argument. If you ever have kids, please, please don't criticize them EVERY 5 MINUTES about the same thing, over and over and over again, because "you care." They will develop serious emotional and psychological problems, and I don't want them to hurt my kids later on. That's not caring. That's selfishness and your frustration acting.

iheartnyc Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 Yes, but my kids aren't failures. Yes and I'm sure you didn't remind them every 5 minutes how the neighbor's kids are so much smarter than they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varangian Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I was always taught if you punish your kids, they will make you proud. If you don't, they will disappoint you. That's how I raised them and that is how they raised their children, and so on and so forth. I believe that the same principle can be applied here, so long as people don't abuse it. And of course, they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaftyMcShaft Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) Yeah, but also because I totally got bait and switched, thinking I was buying a finished game that modernized the mmo genre. Instead I got a buggy knock-off that's an exact clone of WoW except worse in every way. Edited February 9, 2012 by ShaftyMcShaft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And at what point does telling your kids every five minutes, "hey, the neighbors kids are better than you" followed by, "you're stupid" or "you're broken", every 5 minutes, constitute abuse?

Tell me I misread this and you didn't just compare criticizing a video game as being the same as critiicizing your children? lol.... Video games do not have emotional feelings Iheartnyc. This comparison is insanely ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcarinn Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 A very good analogy. Quite the opposite... Those who never criticise their kids fail their children alot more than those who criticise them... Kids will never know if they can be better unless being criticise by person of authority... which in our case of tor is MONEY!!!! and subs!!!!! While realising that each persons personality needs different approach criticising to certain extent is needed for each personality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthFatboy Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Seriously? SWTOR is like a little kid? Gimmie a break. Only good things come from healthy discussion and an honest critique.

And at what point does telling your kids every five minutes, "hey, the neighbors kids are better than you" followed by, "you're stupid" or "you're broken", every 5 minutes, constitute abuse? I don't understand. What are you trying to say? I was saying that we should point out flaws and what not, but with restrain and continence. If I didn't make that clear enough, than I'm sorry.

Or are we too P.C. to offend Biowares sensibilities? Didn't say that. I'm saying, it's ridiculous to justify incessant criticism because "you care." The two are logically inconsistent.

SwigMcJigger Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Horrible analogy. So by your logic if your child was about to jump off the roof of a building you wouldn't 'nag' him by suggesting to take the stairs. You are a wonderful person.

Well my father did and I didn't end that bad ^_^ They can also develop a strong personality and learn to never give up, always continue going forward no matter what. They can also learn that there's always space for improvement. Just saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
