If someone makes a good point, I'll concede that, but your continuous condescension completely demonstrative of what the Reach forum has devolved into.
People are condescending because good points are being associated with all the other trolls. At this point, you either understand it or you don't, because nobody has patience to explain themselves due to the generalizations being tossed about.
Let me get this straight.
You feel that your points are being given equal merit as "troll" points, and it thus leads you to talk in a condescending manner to anyone who disagrees with your views of the game?
The only question this invokes in me is the following:
Are you so insecure about your talking points that you have to resort to condescension to make your case? You're changing your strategy because of trolls?
Nah, it's just that anyone who disagrees is a troll. I see.
> Poster A explains why X mechanic is bad and what could be done or could have been done to make it go differently
> Player B also posts about X mechanic, but he doesn't post constructive feedback either because he is unable to or he feels that it is implied. Or maybe he just wants to share his opinion
> Multiply Player B by 10 and Multiplayer player A times 5. This ratio continues to grow until the 'trolls' and 'whiners' who don't bother to explain themselves when they criticize the game are dominating the forum
> Now the other forum posters see these negative posts from the constructive posters and group them with the trolls, effectively rendering their constructive posts useless now that nobody wants to read them
> Now everyone is either trolling or posting with a condescending tone because people do not want to read their constructive feedback
> People get upset at condescending posters, yet when these posters tried to be constructive they ignored them
It really isn't that difficult to understand. The Reach forum wants people to troll, whine, and complain about the game so they can defend the game. When they see constructive posts there's little to no discussion value because there's nothing for them to add other than "I agree". When they disagree they'd rather do it in a thread where the discussion is heated up so that their words will have a greater impact.
I know all this because I been through all this. I can link 10 constructive posts to this thread right now that all died after 7 or less pages. Then I can list 10 condescending posts that all exploded because people rushed to defend their opinions. Why are there no constructive threads at 1000 replies? Why aren't the constructive threads TFT? Why aren't the constructive threads being regularly bumped and posted?
You're supposed to provoke each other in the Reach forum. If you don't like that then you shouldn't post in there. That's the way it works, and that's why I consistently make hot topics. Maybe if Bungie hadn't sat on their ass and told us where our feedback would be going to, the Reach forum would be a different place? I bet the reason it's like that is because nobody knows whether anyone is listening or not.
