This week I was reading an article how the government has been spying on World of Warcraft users, and it made me think about this game. Interesting times we live in.
Ya and that's old news, mainstream just let it out because it was all over alternative news for years now so how long can government keep things on the hush. WAIT I retract my statement. Government is our best friend and tells us everything. :roll:
This isn't even half of the tranny we are under and not just us this whole world. But people don't pay attention to details because of the many distractions they shove down our throat. ESPECIALLY something everyone has in their house. It's called the idiot box.- While I agree with a lot of what you had to say (especially concerning people rushing tasks just to complain about having nothing to do) I disagree with a few points and how you said them. Here's why:
Yes, there are an incredible number of multiple threads for one topic but not everyone on the forum is a daily user. You can search for keywords on subjects but the results are usually incomplete, misleading or total crap. My biggest pet peeve regarding multiple posts is when someone (newbie) asks a question and instead of being polite and answering someone posts a comment saying "I'm so sick of all these threads about _ " Or when someone copies and pastes URL without a link. How is that easier than just answering the question?
Trolls... Already given them too much attention with what I just said. Didn't take 13 sentences. Oh and I didn't berate other people in the process.
LAND! As I have said before and will continue to say, this is an individual game. People create their own town as they choose. And that's their own prerogative - as well as the definition of creativity. Good for you that you like your town as is and won't be buying anymore land, but there are some of us that do want more land. No one should be criticized for lack of creativity for how they play a game!
I would also like to add that some of your personal comments were a little nasty. I'm not trying to be rude but I think most people joined/read the forum for answers to questions or ways to improve or add to their enjoyment of the game. NOT to read that they are dumb, spoiled brats and/or have no lives. jayesbee wrote:
I appreciate that you took the time and effort to address something you obviously feel is important. I'm not trying to be confrontational; I usually try to avoid responding to posts like this, but I have some thoughts about your post.
It's interesting how every online message board and forum has its own character. Somethings are present in EVERY forum: Trolls, for one. This forum (and maybe this is a recent development, as I'm fairly new here) seems overrun with people who have a VERY strong idea of how people should play the game and how people should post on the forum and are very overbearing in telling other people that their methods of play and posting are WRONG. This seems very unique to this forum. I suspect that the general forum population may be slightly less sophisticated than average. This is a game that attracts people from all ages and all walks of life. That's a good thing, but perhaps that's why you see so many "complaints" and so many multiple threads.
If you think your post is part of the solution, you're wrong. It's part of the problem. You try to soften your comments by claiming: "This is more of my opinion then a complaint." But your post is a complaint. It's a screed. So, you complain about people who complain, but YOUR complaint is DIFFERENT: It's just opinion. And BTW, you're no better than the so-called "complainers" your inveigh against. You end your post complaining (and whining, in my opinion) about the lack of new land! Oh, but your complaining is different. It's opinion. Right.
I agree with your advice regarding trolls: It's best to ignore them and move on to the parts of the forum that are valuable to you. I humbly suggest you take your own very good advice. Why do people get so upset about the so-called "complainers?" It's a DISCUSSION FORUM, you know, for DISCUSSING the game. People have opinions. Sometimes people have different opinions than yours. Fine, discuss these opinions, but why argue and fight about the very fact that you don't like someone's opinion? Try to change their mind, try to see their side, or better yet, ignore the people and posts you find annoying. It's really that easy. I am 99% successful at this, but obviously, I can't help myself either, sometimes.
If I could join in in the forum past time of trying to impose my ideals and values on the rest of the group, I would wish for this: Everyone would stop commenting on HOW people post (unless, of course, it is clearly a personal attack, foul language, etc.) and spend more time commenting on WHAT people post. Let's not be so afraid of opposite opinions. If something seems repetitious, or annoying, or dumb, either try to educate in a constructive way or just move on. Quit all the bickering. Let's just talk.
Anyway, just some food for thought.
Interesting pov.
Honestly I wouldn't have made this if I wasn't sick today and obviously bored.
I never told anyone how to play their game. All I nearly said was be smart about it and even if you don't want to be smart about it I was just pointing out how it's possible to get everything free from the wheel and EA took a chance to milk it is all.
I don't know how you saw the ending of my post as complaining? I was just merely suggesting and asking. Cause either way I have to deal with it so no point of getting upset or complain about it.
Some people do actually express their opinion everyone has a right but a straight up negative complaint is unnecessary. Especially if its been discussed numerous time in the FIRST page of the forum and you start a thread complaining when you could have just say what you wanted to say in the thread and people would have ignored it or replied.
Also some people here get offended too fast. So that's just another thing all in itself. LOL
My thread was not to be a solution, just merely some food for thought. ;)- Awesome thread LoC! Needed to be said :lol: great job :thumbup:

Too bad most people will read this and not even get an ounce out of what you said... But hey lets be optimistic right. Hell it's the holiday season, so maybe we'll be granted a miracle. :wink: Land0fComedy wrote:

Hi neigbour :wink:
great post..... but the true humour of "tranny" could be lost to non Brit gay people....... It is an affectionate nickname for a transvestite..... so "under a tranny" has a whole other interpretation :lol:Adamcayce wrote:

Serious question, going through the original post and reading all the others, how can you seem to be so angry at EA (accusing them of being like secret spies trying to bankrupt us minions) and still continue to play for coming on a year now? I don't understand this hatred for a company that is a business. It's not a charity. You can buy a coat for $4000.00 or you can buy one for $40.00.
I for one love EA. Thank you for providing me almost a year of this insanley addictive thing that I can play anywhere. I've grown up playing games so I know the value you get per dollar.
If you want them to stop 'monitoring' your 'moods' and 'forcing' you to have that 'one thing' than maybe just stop playing EA games altogether.
Because its a good game if it weren't for the corporate greed. The same can be said about society.
Corporate greed is actually a good thing, the same way investment bankers being greedy is a good thing. Greedy people are necessary in society.
It always surprises me how the people complaining about corporate / banking greed are the same ones complaining that they're not getting enough growth in their pension plans and how they're not paid enough for their hard work. It's as if they have zero understanding of basic economics.
Oh, wait.- Excellent read :)
