What's with the forums lately?

People are so touchy and grumpy...

That unfortunately is the ultimate result for any game forum. You start out with a respectable group of mature gamers who find games in their infancy to follow and contribute to the community. Then as it gains in popularity you get the shit heads who read about it somewhere. And the general forums devolve.

I had that thought when I saw your post. I think the second and fifth post had a bunch to do with this, but yea as Mattheus said this is what eventually happens to game forums, especially pre-release game forums. You should have seen the TOR forums in the last six months.... I went on for entertainment purposes only

Oh wow, that's just something special. Could we wish for exploding keyboards for trolls and general idiots. Maybe there is some software that can overload their pc and burn it out :-)

I have hardly ever been into the forums, I have a very low attention span, and was slightly worried that I was missing something......

Maybe you should continue starting threads and take a list of names of all the people who react like a knob. Then we can hunt them down in space, take their stuff and destroy/capture their ships and shoot their escape pod out of the stars? Or is that abit harsh? :-)

Heh, we all know that list is much bigger now. What I want to know is what is meant by a 'carebear' in the second to last column?

He uses that to refer to people who wish to avoid PVP / don't like ganking and griefing.

I've posted some thoughts on griefing / what CIG should not permit here :
