Forumers using divisive political language when 'discussing' (rebutting/shutting) game balance complaints

Forum people say words! Make big sads.

Would be my best guess.

I agree nerf DH

Oh it’s the forums there’s always some kind of name calling going on somewhere. Don’t let it get to you. If you have some PVP balance inquires, not only can you submit them via the forums but there is a suggestion place in game you can submit it as well. escape → support → submit feedback or bug report.

The thing is that people feel personally attacked when someone suggests the spec or class they’re playing gets a nerf so they get defensive.

27

Pretty much and the Arena forums are their own animal in itself.

Oh for sure. And I don’t understand it but I feel like the worse grammar I have, the worse I spell, the nicer people get.

Tbf my grammar isn’t great so they start off pretty good. But when it’s time for bathtub and cheese Rita, typing on one hand, it’s a good experience.

Well put.
I might have posted this in the wrong place, because this concerns PvP issues mostly
but I’ve seen posts about the imbalance and mass outrage here.
It really is a vocal-minority issue.

The fact stands, however, that whenever one spec dominates all others, the game becomes unfair. People either stop queuing or take a break altogether.

So why do people label and report those who share game data and ask for solutions?

We live in the age of anti-reason, divisiveness and hatred.
It’s like the Sha from Pandaria but IRL.
As Rita commented as well – people tie their WoW class/spec’ position to real life politics and identity psychology (or rather use the latter to derail and conflate the game scene) I don’t know if it’s more silly or outrageous,
so I wanted to see what other people think :slight_smile:
or just raise awareness to the issue, I guess…
I probably should regret that already.

Eh just put your thoughts on the matter in a neutral way in the thread and let blizz deal with the feedback etc from there. All you can do really.

If people get big mad don’t engage with em. You’re simply providing feedback in a way you’re able to provide feedback.

There are alot of times that I just want the OP to answer one simple question: “Who Are You?”

And not in a reductive disrespectful way. I truly want to know how the OP sees him or herself. It would make responding so much easier.

There was an episode of Babylon 5 that took this idea to the extreme. Delenn gets tasked with submitting to a vorlon inquisitor “Sebastion” (who is actually Jack the Ripper) who keeps asking that same question.

Who am I?
A student who has been playing casually but really enjoying Dragonflight so far,
and who has been climbing towards my seasonal goals in Rated Solo Shuffle
but have been suddenly (since 10.0.7) unable to play like thousands of others, who at worst lost hundreds of points due to a severely imbalanced game state – where one class can 2-shot others and has infinitely more cooldowns than them.
This situation has not been properly addressed after a month,
while only one month remains for the season.

For sharing this frustration on the PvP forums, and mentioning the fact that I am a paying costumer,
I got labelled all sorts of hateful and divisive social political buzzwords… mainly from the overpowered spec
which is why I came here; to share the situation, perhaps from a delusional thinking that I can help it
(in hindsight, probably a mistake, but, as I said in another thread – the past can’t be undone)

And might I ask, dear commenter, Who YOU are?
because I do find your reference beyond boggling. :slight_smile:

Jeez Dex your room is so smoky and what is that smell.

34

It’s actually soup, thanks for asking :turtle:

35

You need to be more clear on what you mean by “divisive political language”.

People calling each other Tories?

36

I would prefer not to derail my own thread to the political sphere if I can help it,
because I don’t believe that’s necessary or even relevant to a video game context.
I’m just pointing to what I think is a problem :slight_smile:
Tribalism and unnecessary dividedness boxing unrelated realms together for further chaos

maybe we really are using social media too much

37

I mean…you used that phrase in your title. I’m just trying to figure out what you meant by that.

It’s not that we’ve come to that. It’s always been like that here.
