How do you feel about post dislikes and like based "rating" system?

It's your journey that many are still to make. A pity we can't pull together so that they need not make it.

How did the act of "quoting" turn into defcon 5 for some?

Sorry Arnenna you would have got the same number in the proposed system.

I'm a very chilled guy. I have slept the day away.

Because if I play in the wee small hours I can experience the game as many others can. No one else for miles around and immediate missions hand in. Some elite sport on another screen or a host of great podcasts to explore to widen my knowledge.

I do watch those streams that talk of "toxic" forums to grateful followers to believe when it's only because their nonsense was found out here. Trouble is their nonsense is not monitored even on the official and skews opinions as well as poorer game choices. But if the followers are so taken in, what CAN they offer to discussions? A few thumbs down on command? Trawling those very "toxic" forums for some nuggets of wisdom to convey not beneath them though.

It's the same on their live streams, start asking questions that might reveal the pretence and watch the body language, how dare we challenge them. I stick to videos now.

All a bit precarious to have so many platforms you have no control over in order to create some following and the pot of gold, that only a few attain. Other motivators have to be in play.


We will be accused of putting up a stalking horse next...

@Phantion

You raised a good point. I rarely touch any Lore discussions. Have read Lotr perhaps 3 or 4 times; first time it came to me, as the youngest, loose in a manila envelope much tattered. More pristine tomes came later. Being more techy it was never going to be with a scholarly mind set.

I'm not exactly intimidated to venture into those discussions, it's just that I can recognize there are others with a vast wealth of knowledge to inform their postings.
If I was to venture there I'm sure someone would put me straight on misconceptions I might have. I'm intelligent enough to not fight futile battles I'm never going to win.
I would not presume to up or down vote in ignorance either.


It would be like a "metric" that reports a value to SSG and not the multiple reasons that contribute to it. "Smart" devices and tech just handling over a choice of what to look at into the hands of mob generated AI or who knows what clod. An Idiocracy?
