Are all MMO forums like this?

#1 - Oct. 15, 2012, 6:25 p.m.

I don’t mean to be a smart kitten or anything, but I was wondering, is complaining like this standard procedure on mmo forums?

I personally think the game is pretty good. I agree it has problems, but it was released 2 months ago, so I’m keeping my hopes up that a lot of them will be fixed.

I was playing in the game and was talking to people in map chat and I caught somebody saying that the only reason people go to the forums is to complain, so I’m kind of curious. Is this true, or are the forums a good way of judging the thoughts of the community as a whole?

While we normally remove threads discussing forum moderation, this is a good opportunity to spread a little love. The posters above that have stated these forums are more heavily monitored/moderated than most are correct in their assumption.

The team takes pride in doing all we can to provide a fun and friendly environment so players can come together and discuss the game constructively. Not everyone will agree with each other and that’s fine. Not only is it fine, but it’s also healthy.

What’s not healthy is verbally attacking others and violating the Code of Conduct. The majority of our forum visitors abide the rules well. For those that don’t, you all can help. If someone makes you angry by violating a rule, rather than react and respond to them in kind, we’d greatly appreciate it if you’d just click the little black flag in the bottom right corner of the post in question. That sends a report to the Community Team allowing us to investigate the issue and take action if necessary.

Thanks for the discussion and the support everyone!
