jedistreen Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 First, to clear up a few things. When I say stop listening to the forums, I don't actually mean everyone who types something up. There are some really fun/well done threads up here, and it would be a shame for those to go to waste. I mean the troll threads, the QQ threads, the pointless 'PvP on my low-pop PvE server sucks 'cause I only play at one-o-clock in the morning with my friends' threads. And there are a lot of them. I come from WoW *activates flame shield*. Now I won't talk much about that game, but I will mention briefly why I left. The community. It was horrid, especially as a tank. All you would see in-game were horribly uncoordinated groups and whining. All you would see on the forums were horribly typed threads and whining. I wanted to get away from it, so I came here. And, more and more, it looks like that was a mistake. From day one, there were crying threads on this general discussion forums. Of course, most of those were just players who were unhappy throwing dirt on a game. Not many of those threads held water. Pop them and they would pop like a balloon and dissolve. Good bye. Adios. Finito. And now, those days have come to an end. Now the people who think they're programmers who can fix a bug in two-days flat come in. And they want everything. They want LFD. they want cross-server PvP. Dual specs. AC change options. Need I go on?. I come on to the general forums rarely if at all because it seems like all the smart people have moved to the suggestion box or class forums. And now I read that, in the next patch, there will be cross-server PvP queues implemented. Which is what spurred me on to make this thread. Some of you might say 'well good, they listen to the players!'. I disagree. In most cases, the players, (including myself in some cases) are, frankly, ignorant twits. I know that I PvP a lot. I love it. And I've made some of the best friends I've had so far in an MMO just PvPing with some people from my server. Cross server PvPing kills the community. And now that this has been added, I feel like it's the first sign of a second WoW. Bioware, STOP listening to the forums. It won't make people happy when you implement their 'brilliant' changes. They'll just get hungrier and hungrier, and keep on coming back for more and more. Give the community what they need, not what they want. And what they need is NOT- I repeat: NOT- more community-destroying tools. This, Bioware, is my song, and its all I got. Love me for it, hate me for it, but at least hear me out. TL;DR: for those of you with reading comprehension problems, I presume?. OK how's this. I like Cheetos. No, seriously. There is no TL;DR. Read the damn thread.

Kindara Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 The forums are pretty normal for all games honestly :/ I don' tthink I've ever played an MMO where there weren't Trolls & QQs. Please get some experience in the world OP..you'll see SWTOR's forums are fairly tamed compared to most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

face_hindu Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Now the people who think they're programmers who can fix a bug in two-days flat come in. And they want everything. They want LFD. they want cross-server PvP. Dual specs. AC change options. Need I go on?. Terrible post, totally unconstructive and critical of the community - so everyone who wants these basic features are what? Idiots? Trolls? Bads? Bugs - 2 days? How about 2 months? How about 6 months? Ugh. fanbois. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juanxlink Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Cross server PvPing kills the community. And now that this has been added, I feel like it's the first sign of a second WoW. No, it does not. WoW is still the most succecssfull MMO cant see the issue going for it. No need for TL:DR, that quote is all thats needed. Oh, thats a TL:DR...

CygnusMX Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) I think every forum has drama and tons of whining.Its unavoidable because people are insane when given anonymity of the internet. Most likely they can define sane from the insane in here lol Luckily Wow never had the chance to crack my skull open and remove my brain.I actually enjoy other things.
