It would appear you can write well without hyperbole. Why post an alternative. Why not simply state what you dislike, without hyperbole, negativity, or attacks as best you can?
For example, I don't like butternut squash. I can't tell you why, I'm not entirely sure. It might be a texture thing. But I do like Yellow and Italian Squash. So I don't dislike all squash, just butternut. Maybe I just haven't had Butternut prepared in a way that appeals to me? Maybe someone could make a recommendation. But I do wish more restaurants I go to would offer an option other than just butternut or at least prepare it differently.
Sometimes it's really difficult to separate out the negativity from the response, especially when you observe a dev doing something **really** stupid.
Case in point, back when the fate changes were occurring, captains had their power issues completely fixed, and to the point where Now for Wrath was an optional trait. Most everyone in the class was ecstatic because it meant that we could finally drop this trait tax and start experimenting with builds that would have most likely resulted in better tanking builds.
So what did Eg do? She maintained the status quo, and gave us all of our power problems back, after showing us what it would be like to live without them. The icing on the cake was when Focus (the most useless of all of our tactics) got nerfed because I guess it was giving too much ICPR.
Admittedly, I couldn't keep the frustration out of the posting, and said a couple of not nice things towards Eg. There was also a feeling of helplessness and the inability to stop something that I perceived to be a very bad thing for the captain class that was factoring into my response.
But the point I'm making, when we get mad and start behaving poorly, sometimes it's worth attempting to figure out exactly why.
