Pvp Forum Is a Mess

Ive been reading and posting the Pvp section of the forum for a long time now. But right now its in the worst shape I have ever seen it in. People are rude and just argue about the same points over and over but offer only abuse but no solutions.

Some of the problems I see

* People have an over agressive attitude (this imo is the main problem where ego talks before brain.
* Posting comments "you are <insert class> you have no rigtht to post"
*Replys to posts that actually say they didn't even read it but still feel the need to comment.
*Level 1 alts posting (I realise why but if people could become more constructive then posting on your main does show you have a vested interest and expereince of what your talking about.)
*L2p comments that actually don't offer any advice on how to.
*Multi threads about the same thing when someone thinks thier point is so importent they have to start a new thread. Yes Locks suck so lets have 1 thread with 100 pages not 50 threads 2 pages long.
* the <insert class> is fine comment, why say that but not elaborate?
*Keyloggers



What I would ask is 1st that we, the player base try to accept this is a game to have fun not some life changing expereice but also that people do spend vast amounts of time on thier character so think before you post. When you reply L2p you only make yourself look stupid, not cool or special.

Second is a request to Blizz. I realise you can never moderate this forum succesfully as it would require vast amounts of time better spent elsewhere. What I ask is that you research through posts made by a few long term players and appoint them some moderator privelege. Nothing to much but perhaps the ability to delete the L2p posts, succesive threads on same subject and any over agressive behavior replys. Maybe a moderator clicking report on a post can carry weight and the poster gets a forum ban. This would also clear up keyloggers faster resulting in less accounts being compromised.

Sorry for long whine but unless we learn to actually discuss pvp matters instead of just try to look cool and smart Blizz will not sift through the crap to find the sensible stuff.

This is not a bad idea ;)

Excuse me sir, but when u choose a class, a char that you play during months or years and one day somebody change all the game even your class, and your not enjoying anymore, is a human condition have feelings like: sick, anger, sad, powerless, etc.
Is imposible have a happy life or play happy if your life or the game have to suffer continuosly radical changes.
Is more normal if the situation extends over months and months, because people begins to be delirious, and look stupid.


While we can certainly sympathize with the sense of establishing a sort of "relationship" with your class and the frustrations that this may or may not induce in players, that is hardly related to purposely violating the forum rules and guidelines; effectively making the forum experience worse for other players.

These are discussion forums, and while constructive feedback is appreciated, they are not a place for anyone to vent their anger in inappropriate ways.
