I know right and if anything it just makes problems worse.It leads people with general issues with their game that hasn't been brought up in any existing threads just floating forcing them to desperately try and fix the problem on their own instead of posting a thread where someone who already has an answer on the issue can give them advice.It's stupid.There could easily be put fix so there would be less spam, possibly having a timer that has people wait out a certain amount of time before posting again, having the system scan your post where if it finds an already existing post that asks the same question as yours, it sends you to it.There are many ways they could have gone about the issue.
Yeah, that's unfortunate. I'm not really a social person so I don't post all that much. I mainly read the forums for bug fixes. Not being able to make my own post or even change my own profile picture honestly makes me NOT want to engage in the forums ironically. And I understand that this was done to keep trolls away but surely there has to be another way?
