Having to poke away at my phone to write anything makes it difficult to express a thorough opinion; so I'll keep it short.
I think overall, most people can formulate their own opinions through their own personal experiences. However, i do believe the constant barrage of "negativity/complaints" in the forums can exacerbate what someone might have been feeling originally. I myself am not immune to this and have entertained the thought myself; how much of my opinion of the game is being affected by the forums? Honestly, I'm not sure.
What i am sure about is that I find myself having a mixture of agreement, disagreement and even sympathy. Sympathy such as the case with people struggling with gw. Though I have no trouble completing it now, i know what it's like to experience a difficult and often hellish gw.
What I find intriguing are the opinions that seem to take a direct stance against others. An almost superior "glow" that they have it all figured out, and that it's no big deal. Everyone else has it all wrong and are blowing everything out of proportion. These posts are often not helpful at all, as previously stated, and tend to only feed the very thing they claim to detest. I'm curious the motivation behind these posts.
The motivation is simple. I like this game, and I come to the forum to share, and instead I have to read so much garbage and negativity. I readily admit my response is perhaps not the healthiest, but can you blame me? I am human after-all. We all are, together. But the constant negativity about the game, the people who work at the company, the company itself has admittedly jaded my perspective to the point I am just giving some of it back because I don't want the devs to think everyone agrees with the outspoken majority on these forums. Your response was thoughtful, and I appreciate that. Maybe though I have fallen to the darkside, and don't know that I can be saved, at least not by anyone I've seen on these forums.
