Is your opinion greater than anyone elses?

Some of you speak as if the things you are saying are "objectively" true such that anyone who disagrees with you is not only stupid, but should be moderated, censored, and removed from all discussion.

Say we all cast votes on what we think should happen with PVP. Does any one of those votes in itself have greater weight than another? If so, who decides this? The person casting that single vote?

Many of you "...claim to want to give a hearing to other views,
but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views." ~William F. Buckley, Jr.

Forgive me for not completing the quote. If I had, I don't think the post would stand. And that's just my point, eh? Some people think that their opinion is law and anyone who goes against it should be censored.

If someone wants to have a smaller scale PVP as an option for fun, please do not try and shut them up just because you do not. How would you like it if someone stopped you from having a say?

    Yes my opinion is greater, but only mine. :-) Awesome post mate!

    On this forum even the smallest detail will turn into a war.

    Add PvP loot drops for some risk/reward in this game.

    I think you need to learn to deal with people disagreeing with you, instead of pretending they are "stopping" you from having a say.

    My opinion is awesome to me. Others not so much. ;)

    Of course my opinion is superior.

    Next silly question?

    Cool ! An internet moralist ! We sure could use more !

    Good luck bro ! That's the kind of stuff that usually lead to useless conflict and basically solves nothing... but could cost you your sanity.

    Oh and... you should use quotes from more recognized and serious intellectuals... William F. Buckley, Jr ? Half a quote from a half-intellectual doesn't help :wink:

    Everyone should have the right to put their opinions foward , with that said , people dont need to agree with it.

    I dont really check much the threads about smaller scale PvP , but , in my opinion , this is a bad idea.

    The more kinds of PvP and PvE they add , the more the game needs to be balanced to accommodate that. The kind of balance we need right now , might and probably , wont be the same we will need if we had arenas for example.

    Considering how poorly balanced this game already is , adding arenas would be a bad call.

    Well said - but consider this.
    At what point does free speech become nagging?

    The game mechanics are not designed for duelling, arena or any of the other forms of small scale PvP.
    At some time in the future, such things might be added but right now, and in this game, we have more pressing concerns.

    Now, please, please - I'm asking you nicely - will you shut up about it?

    Any chance this thread is inspired by this quote from the OP of a different thread:
    I know not everyone will agree with me and I really don't care for their opinions and will not read negative posts.

    Why yes. Yes it is. My opinion > everyone else's opinion. Especially when it comes to something like adding arena to this game. >:)

    I think the OP feel like being an 2.0 intellectual.

    The inconsistance of hist post, hélas, shows the exact opposite.
