I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?
We all bicker because we disagree over things. Little flaws in the rules, features that should be highly considered for application to the site, so many tears over the title system but the real problem here on the b.net forums that has caused so much argumentative chatter between one another is because this place has no real problems at all. It has become a race to see who can try and create the biggest fake problem, essentially.
When I say there is no real problems, I mean it word for word with no hidden meanings so please don't disect that statement. There are only individuals who want more of something or they are picky and can't get over something that may bug them a bit. Whatever it is, these forums are clean and prestige. The are operating more effediently and beautifully than they have since I've been around, at least. They are well moderated and with this little bit of down time between game releases, the pace is easily manageable and that is why more mods have yet to been selected.
Titles aren't truly a problem, people really just can't find anything else to complain about. The only issue with titles isn't even a problem with how the system works, it is the fact that half the community doesn't appreciate them. That's it, nothing else. The appreciation levels lead to arguments between those who do appreciate them and the unappreciative ones. And this thread is not another title thread so I'm going to leave it at that.
Once Bungie releases their new IP and the game launch nears, a flood of members will flow in. Some will be ignorant, some rude and obnoxious, and yes, even some severely unappreciative of anything but still seem to waste their breath around the forums. But once these new members come about, these "problems" we currently discuss in what seems to be an endless loop for the last year or so will cease and be forgotten about. Everyone will forget about these "issues" because they really arent issues at all, simply a way to pass the time. This is what I mean by the only problem is that there is no real problem. These arguments that I see numerous users get so hostile are only happening because we have nothing else to talk about. The minds of individuals are shifting and don't realize that nothing can't be done about it.
To sum everything up, why so serious? Realize that yes, the b.net forums are a bit "slow" right now. Honestly, I've seen the forums three times slower than this. Step back and ask yourself, "Is this really an life-altering issue that deserves the harsh words that I have typed?" When activity picks back up, remember this thread and take a look at the first page of threads here in the Septagon. Not one elitism thread, "Titles should be removed" thread, or "Bungie doesn't care" thread will be around for discussion. Why? Because we will all have more to discuss and stop whining about these little things because we nothing else to whine about.
Just take it easy and enjoy the ride, no matter how slow.
Thank you.
