People hijacking threads to berate OP and more.

So I occasionally post about things that bother me in the game but this is the first time I've actually posted on the forums.
I think there is a giant issue with supporters of the game dismissing and derailing people attempting to start discussion about what they perceive as issues.
Today I read a series of posts about different things from threat mechanics to pvp balance to in game chat and most of the people who support the game seem to equate that to berating anyone who has issue, if you don't agree with someone that's fine, but replying to a post with some inane comment about the OP doesn't help anyone.
This also happens in the reverse if someone makes an inane OP and someone seriously responds to it they often get verbally assaulted.
I think we should avoid commenting if we don't have constructive comments and try to remember criticism of a poster isn't constructive, and ignore people who do these things, don't get drawn into the frivolity.
I enjoy this game and have spent money but I also think it has a ridiculous number of problems the more rabid supporters push them under the rug the more they can be ignored and the more people give credence to trolls more issues become obfuscated.

    the reason is simple, because one player order things as an issues, he believe 100% that it is an issues. at that point the person can't accept whatever explanation that is not an issues, in the end, the never-ending debate is starting. at the other someone else, open the same issues, that might be already explain that is was never the issues but still forcing that it is an issues, the result, others got tired of explaining and start berating. well, I always wonder myself, why some people only post things like this is or that is an issue without no explanation or reason at all.

    If the OP is being an idiot certain it is appropriate to so inform them and sadly most people complaining didn't take 3 minutes to check and see if the topic has come up before.

    And now for my innane comment.

    Razzleberry Pie.

    Ingredients
    Serves: 8

    1 cup sugar, or Splenda(R) sweetener
    1/4 cup all-purpose flour
    2 cups fresh or frozen unsweetened halved strawberries
    2 cups fresh or frozen red raspberries or blackberries
    1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
    1 teaspoon lemon juice
    Pastry for 9-inch pie crust
    2 tablespoons butter
    sugar for sprinkling

    Preparation method
    Prep: 1 hour | Cook: 1 hour
    1.
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
    2.
    In a large mixing bowl, stir together sugar and flour. Add strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and lemon juice; gently toss until berries are coated. If using frozen fruit allow fruit to mixture to stand for 15 -30 minutes, or until fruit is partially thawed.
    3.
    Turn berry mixture into prepared pie shell; dot with butter. Cover with top crust; trim edge to 1 inch, seal and crimp. Make several slits in top crust to allow steam to escape. Sprinkle top with sugar, if desired.
    4.
    Bake for 1 hour in 375 degree oven, or until crust is golden brown and the juice is bubbling through the slits in top crust. Cool on wire rack.

    Its the Warcraft way im afraid, people who have played the game have become bitter and tend to lash out in the forums, so you may find that it spills over onto games like this, hopefully they will realise they don't need to be that way anymore.

    I'd say it's more a case of people who are going "I SPENT HOW MUCH ON THIS HAMSTER ?" silently inside and can't bring themselves to consciously admit they got hosed. When someone comes along with a more neutral take they react very defensively.

    Actually this might well explain it - it is simply a type of self-defense mechanism where to avoid facing their own issues they target someone else.
