My "Thank You" post has ended up getting me in trouble with youtubers and players. Yikes

“hey thanks for putting all this time and effort into making a game I really enjoy”
“HOW DARE YOU THANK THESE P.O.S. I WAN’T MASS REZ BACK”

Idk I didn’t see the backlash but I’m assuming someone brought up Mercy

Pineapple, you have done absolutely nothing wrong.
In fact, quite the opposite. It is the haters who had resorted to internet bullying to get you to apologise in this manner.

In fact, they are part the the “toxicity” problem which they, hypocritically, have been accusing others of.

You were part of the solution, and they made it into their problem.

Stand tall, stand proud. You have tried to make the community a better one.

Pineapple, btw, i +1 your original post and i cannot +1 here because if i did, it means that i agree that you were wrong which you are not and that i condone all the miserable hypocritical “toxic” actions of the goons who criticised you.

If anyone is actually bullying you then flag them, otherwise no one is upset with you at all, its more that of ALL the posts on the forum that’s the one they felt the need to respond to while in the same breath claim they are listening to feedback. No, its more like they are patting themselves on the back. The way it looks it could have been anyone praising them but that’s all they seem to care to acknowledge these days.

BTW you probably shouldn’t be claiming that a Youtuber is harassing you because that simply did NOT happen. Watch the video, not once were you mentioned.

Don’t worry, they were waiting for any dev to talk in a thread to attack him, you were just the unlucky one with your thread.

I said someone slammed my post but I will make that distinction

You have nothing to apologize for! I think that should be obvious. You were trying to be positive and thankful for what we do have instead of solely focusing on what’s wrong. Stick to your guns. People may not like it, but they’ll respect you for it.

Fixed the title, I’ll go ahead and make that distinction.

If that is a legitimate question, Thrillho had answered it way more eloquently than i would have:

Yeah, +1 for new title.

ahem You were just guy with the pizza ready to do something you can consider to be nice or just not all that remarkable.

The devs that haven’t been all that active here responded and thus chaos.

I wouldn’t feel too bad.

The lack of response from the devs put a lot of posters on edge, and the fact that Tom Powers responded to your thread over say the Mercy, Bastion, bug fixes, really any thread that addressed the game was the tipping point.

Please do not let this get to you although I know it’s hard with all the backlash you’re getting. You were probably just as shock to see a response from the dev team.

It’s not fair that you and your post just happened to be the thing that set everyone off.

I’ll be petty and just blame the devs

I was actually so excited to see a reply from a Dev. I told my team and everything and I felt so happy but that was very short lived. Also thank you. <3

It was a rhetorical question. I know the answer. And since Blizz, to my knowledge, doesn’t have community manager responsible for this forum, it’s not like anybody is obliged to read and answer anything here, being at risk of their words instantly being twisted into something completely opposite. Like it happened with mercy spam. It’s overall better to just stay silent. Completely silent, as those threads demonstrated.

You truly have nothing to apologize for. If people are so full of bitter and hate that a little shine of positivity and someone being nice makes them feel like that behavior is ok, then it’s them that has a problem, not you.

I appreciate you positivity, it’s hard to find these days.
