I think I could offer an example of this.
This poster believes he is offering a suggestion by stating:
And maybe he’s thinking, “I don’t know how, but there’s gotta be a way,” so becomes defensive or agitated when I ask for examples or point out that that isn’t a complete suggestion nor solution.
In my mind, I’m attempting to think through how a solution might work, what sorts of exploits might exist, and what sorts of precedence has been set for such things, like with Diablo II Hardcore, for example, which functions somewhat differently.
I’m trying to better understand what they are asking for, but in retrospect, I gather they don’t want to have a deep conversation about how such a feature might work, they just want to vent.
This ended up being a rather frustrating conversation for me, as I feel they simply ignored my questions or intention and somewhat attacked me just for asking. I suppose I could have been more sensitive to them not wanting to discuss actual solutions, in retrospect.
