Anyone supporting the minority opinion will get flamed, that’s just how GD works. As I said, I was against removing ML and I got called so many vile things it was unreal.
at any rate, the forums were nowhere near as hostile as they became since ralph started spamming these threads. you can almost pinpoint the turning point.
the words he uses only serve to start arguments and flame wars and this is the result.
nobody on the mythic side is making similar threads. nobody is jamming elitism down anybodies throats in their own topics. his posts are the catalyst and it’s actually amazing they aren’t removed, especially ones like this that are literally only going to start a mythic vs casual argument
and not to mention his post history on his alts is just as toxic as the people he is spamming these threads about and he was just as critical of shadowlands as we are
I have been in guilds/groups that hoarded loot and abused the system though, and pre-PL every listing on the group finder was “XXX item reserved”. So I do tend to prefer PL to ML. I’m not going to trash those who did like ML though. I’m sure it worked out for some. I just had lots of bad experiences with it personally.
Outside of the million threads of them demanding blizzard make covenants into talents and to pander to wannabe elitists even at the expense of everyone else while Ion thankfully said the game is for a broader audience : )
You do realize what I said was that it isn’t just one type of player that wants covenants to be cosmetic right? Not that everyone wants it to be that way. There are plenty of people who want to hurt players by making it a power choice.
Basically this. At this point everyone on GD and their mothers knows Ralph’s opinions on this topic. I don’t even need to read his OP to know what it says.
He’s just trying to start a fight, again, between hardcore players and casuals. And he routinely sets the stage of how it’s just toxic elitist who are against him, while he simultaneously demonstrates a staggering amount of toxic elitism.
Hell in an earlier thread he started attacking my alts prog to discredit my arguments.
Pretty sure all of the high end players and Mythic Raiders do understand that there are more casual players and their opinion matters too, in fact the design decision are usually made to appeal to the majority rather than the top 1%.
The arguments those “elitist” you call for not locking player power behind covenants is that it affects EVERYONE, no one is saying “oh casual players doesn’t matter so change it”, in reality the most affected by this are the middle-tier players, those who are invested enough to care but not the top 1% who will just level multiple of every class.
What I see very often is actually the opposite thing, the argument that the 1% doesn’t matter so what they want doesn’t matter.
