Jandi Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 The general forum is completely and utterly WORTHLESS. Every 2nd or 3rd post in *Every* thread is a troll post or a flamebait and you, the mods, only hand out warnings to people who get frustrated with shifting through a metric ton of utter and complete **** every time they open a thread. No one is discussing anything, simply hurling personal attacks and bashing the game, completely without merit and absent reasoning based on REALITY. I know you will have to lock/delete this thread as per your orders but please, make a separate forum for complaints because every thread that discusses the game in any way gets swamped with 1 liners and idiotic remarks.

Celuwen Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I agree OP. I love chatting about the game I'm playing on the forums and negative posts are a part of that, but the amount of forum trolling going on here makes it very hard to find threads worth reading. I'm not saying I want all the negative feedback removed, as some of it is true and needs to be said. I would just like to talk about some of the fun times I'm having in a game I'm enjoying (for the most part) and I cannot do that here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBBP Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 This is why I have moved to this forum. The GD forum will forever be known as TORchan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jandi Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 Negative feedback is great and some of it has actual merit. However, in 15 minutes, it gets swamped with nonsense, flaming, exaggeration of issues and baseless bashing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celuwen Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Is the community forum for subscribers only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBBP Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Is the community forum for subscribers only? Yes. Those people pay to hate something that much. Oh well, I love this game and they are paying to help support further development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBBP Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Constructive Negative feedback is great and some of it has actual merit. However, in 15 minutes, it gets swamped with nonsense, flaming, exaggeration of issues and baseless bashing. I edited your post. 95% of the posts in there are "OMGZ BIOWARE FAILZ I UNSUB!" Which sadly even puts legitimate and constructive negative feedback in a bad light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read some very well written and valid feedback, which has been swamped just as much as interesting positive posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RebelWeasel Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Many people subscribed to the game with 3-month and 6-month packages. Game Release: 12-21 Earliest 3-month Renewal: April 21st Earliest 6-month Renewal: July 21st Because of this, the first fall-off of the jerks who hate the game will be April 21, and the second fall-off will be July 21st. So really, a lot of the worst jerks who have stopped playing or hate the game and plan to quit, might not be gone yet. These are the ones deliberately trolling and causing issues on the forums, according to my best guess. So I sort of knew coming in, that the forums would not improve until about July. I'm pretty much just hunkering down mostly here and in other side forums until then. I expect it will get a lot better then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was open testing, TONS of leaked info on the internet. Nothing about this game was a surprise by the time launch came around. Anybody who blindly subscribes is bringing it all upon themselves. If idiots want to pay to hate, they are more than welcome to. Edited April 7, 2012 by TheBBP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
