Venting thread

[Fridmarr]

Why would you stroke your ego this way?

There are legitimate issues raised that you obviously didn't read. If you didn't read the thread, why comment on it? Massaging your ego over how you're resilient to changes is actually not a counterpoint to what the thread is about at all.

At the very least we should try to read and understand what others are saying rather than group every post up into a us vs. them paradigm.

Look around. I'm not the only person getting beyond fed up with the endless string of selfpity bawling. It's gotten progressively worse over the last few months.

I'm all for discussing legitimate issues. However:

"I think I've just given up on my class. It's clear that Blizzard has no idea what to do with us and we're going to be worthless for all of WotLK. Maybe I should just reroll or cancel my account"

...is NOT legitimate discussion. And it's infectiously spread to annoying quantities all over this forum, usually from the same group of offenders. Not to mention that fact that a good 50% of the posts in this section are nothing BUT that.

You want to discuss issues we have, with maybe a plan for posting to beta forums to try to get devs to look at it, I'm all for that.

You want someone to give you a hug because you're so despondent that your life sucks, and you want to reroll a new guy or cancel your account, given that stuff changes for better and worse every single week? Spare me the crying. Here's a bottle and a diaper for you.

Then pick out a legitimate issue and discuss it. Ignoring them so you can simply bash those that aren't won't make the legitimate issues go away, and only detracts from the being discussed.

To be honest, the constant amount of pure garbage with good points interlaced starts clouding together after a while, and I end up missing the few actual good posts.

I think I'm just going to start avoiding this section alltogether, as I start getting the Ulushnar-cynical twitch the more I read.

You can read, they aren't hard to find, in fact you have to dig more to find the crap you are posting about, so that's no excuse. Start posting better or stop posting.

Start posting better or stop posting.

If that rule were enforced, we wouldn't even have these pointless QQ topics (or most of these threads, for that matter), and more than a few cryers wouldn't be here anymore.

Regardless, I understand your frustration (as long as you understand mine). I've said my piece and won't bring it up anymore.

There's a Dorvan joke here somewhere, but Uke, I think you missed Fridmarr's point. Your last post still references a vague "endless sea of cryfest" posts, without specifying any one post or even poster in particular.

Now here's a question: how long before someone starts griefing Fridmarr for his, ugh, what do we call it? "Anti-anti-QQ QQ?" And then what do we call that? "The QQ against anti-anti-QQ QQ'ing?" Christ people, where does the cycle end? Can't we just let the thread devolve into mindless Splug avatar worship and then lock it for being derailed into cult activity?

it would be a lot easier to devolve in that direction if it were animated splug. Even if it winked at me or something.

edit* goddamn you modus, you beat me to the punch.

It does, you just aren't watching it long enough.

This is a venting thread and I want to vent,
I'm Really dissappointed in the sloppy way that Blizzard has handled
dealing with fixing one spec in our tree, thus far.
Vent over, Thank you, I just wanted to get that off my chest.

[Fridmarr]

Technically we do have a frustrations thread for just straight up venting. This thread started with potential to be something other than that, if not just a bit more specific and readable. Nonetheless, it seems to have served its purpose to bring us the enjoyment of Splug's avatar. I'm locking this now, future venting should be made in the frustrations thread.
