Surprise or No surprise?

I know it's not really hacking but I just needed a good title :mrgreen:. So as all regulars know, some people like to look into the games files to see what's next, than post it on the forums. I'm not saying it's bad, but this is just my opinion.
I find it really eritating. The thing is I don't look at them but so many others do. Then, they post it on other threads ruining it for everyone else! I hate knowing what's next because it ruins the excitment of downloading a new update then seeing all this new cool stuff. so what I think is that when people are just saying their whislist and ideas, please don't tell everyone what's coming. What do you guys like: Surprise, or No surprise?( I know there not always right but still, don't get people hopes up also).

It really doesn't bother me as it always changes, regardless.

If you dont want to see the spoilers dont read under the thread that says **SPOILERS** its that simple.

that's not what I was talking about I mean that others ruin it for people just brainstorming in random threads.

ea should do a fourm or a page with whats coming soon. i dont do anything that some people do just read about it on here. i like to know as its exciting to know what will be coming in the next update

I prefer a surprise. Sure, you can skip threads that say spoiler in them, but other people always mention these things in other threads.

Thats's what I was trying to say! :D

I prefer being surprised, but I know that the only way to avoid it being spoiled is to stay away from the message boards. I like interacting with the members here, so I'll take my chances.

I like analyzing the game files, but I don't share the information for a number of reasons. I like to read the spoilers to compare to my own findings, but I understand many or most want the surprise. So I think anyone who shares should only do so in a SPOILERS thread.

Forums is all about speculation and discussion of what has happened and what will come next.
It's part of the DNA of forums - so we learn many things from others that we did not know, assist each other out and in some cases those with the technical know how can advise what is coming soon - but when they cannot be 100%accurate.

It's part of life - if you don't want to know try to avoid the threads detailing these things. But really it's like taping a sports game and you want to watch it later and try to avoid hearing the result - more times than not if you run into people they will tell you - Doh!

I prefer the surprise, but that being said, accidentally seeing a spoiler doesn't bother me much.

I don't see them as spoilers. Just because somebody says they saw something in a file doesn't mean it is going to happen. Remember the Volcano Lair/Sign deal that was rumored to be in the files and didn't happen? What about the Funzos? Those were not in the files.

So to me it is all speculation till I actually see it show up in my Springfield.

Perhaps you should view all the discussions about what is coming next as that because there is no real concrete proof. No, I don't see reading a file as proof because the developers can change that at any moment until it is officially released.
