There are some who actually claimed that no one would use any new item competitively. I do not want to rehash this argument. You know who they are so I do not know how you can claim “no one” said it. In another thread, I directly quoted a multitude of posters who claimed that all the 2.6.6 items were essentially useless junks for barbs.
TL3 has very little to do with the number of posts that one makes. As long as one made 10 posts that got 20 likes that is all you need for that criteria. There are 28 people who are TL3 based on meeting the requirements (not including people who Blizzaard granted TL3 prior to forum day 50). The range for number of posts is between 13-1080.
I decreased my posting in the barb forum, because it was clear to me that I was right given the data on multiple things. I kept having to rehash the same points over and over again. It was quite boring to me to have to point out such obvious, undeniable facts, because it did not fit someone’s myopic narrative.
The other reason that I have not posted as much is that summer is over.
Incorrect. Posting something that is unpopular could jeopardize reaching TL3. If my goal was to be TL3, I would have avoided posting about the data that is available to all players in game/at Blizzard’s website. I posted to make sure that people were given all the information to have a more complete story to make an informed opinion.
Wrong again. I even made a thread about the number of posts being made on the forum and I updated it weekly (to the end of week 5). My posts were a small percentage. Whether I posted or not, I knew (probably by day 25) that we would easily reach 20,000 posts by day 50.
There is an old saying: “You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink.” I think your post illustrates why it is difficult to have a thoughtful conversation sometimes on this forum where there are demonstrably false statements and incorrect assumptions that ignores data. This data was posted on the forum and could be independently verified as the information is available/derived from the game and/or on this website.
