You mean to tell me the only way to get Agrees, Insightfuls, and Awesomes is to....

Thealteregoroman

Be negative on the forums?

Is that only here or is this a global forum standard I didn't know about.

So I have to bash this game to get my stars up?

like COME ON is it only me that sees what is going on?

I understand the frustrations....but really? How many people post negative stuff just to get they stars up? I guess forums peeps wont take you seriously unless you got like 20 stars under your name.

I don't know what do yall think?......


ESO CAN CURE CANCER AND YOU WILL STILL HAVE PEEPS SAYING IT AINT BALANCED...............

It's almost like there's a valid reason most people are unhappy with the direction the game has taken.

FrancisCrawford

Since it seems very important to you, I gave you an Awesome for that post.

Do you feel happier now?

jakeedmundson

Why does anyone care about forum stars?.... it's more meaningless than looting alkahest

I agree to a degree.....

May the hyperbole be with you!

It's human nature to be more vocal about negative things. For example, you could be very good at your job but still hear more complaints than praise. I'd say it's probably more common than the other way around.

nah, If I wanted that I would have just asked you, but thanks.

Hmm, I am pretty neutral, well lean towards positive, maybe really lean to positive. But I have my share of criticisms about the game. And I post them.

TBH, I think the only reason I get upticks on my criticisms is I usually also post a solution I think would work instead of just dumping on the game in a rant.

Didn't give him(?) an Awesome.

What, pray tell, do those forum points do you anyway?

(And clickbait, ambiguous thread titles seem to be a popular attempted method, OP. GJ on that one!)

I feel your pain halfway, a lot of post have points, but it does get old reading constant negativity, I get wanting to read all happy post about a game we all love, but this is the same site we also post the valid complaints

Maybe we need a happy forum lol

Why have I gotten "Insightful" for posting the link to the order page for Morrowind?

I think some people need to click on stuff...interactive ftw.....

For me, if its too ragey I stop taking them seriously.
& I figure they are trying to rack up Troll Points instead of stars!

Tryxus

Very Insightful post, OP. I Agree that it ain't Awesome to be negative all the time. LOL

Gilvoth

I get Awesomes for posting something people find amusing which is usually something irrelevant and immature.

I get Agrees for posting something simple enough for modern gamers to understand.

I get Insightfuls for when I post something that was by no means enlightening, but people want to be leaving sarcastic "Insightful" votes.

idk

Don't understand what OP is getting at other than maybe wanting people to click for him/her.

I will leave an insightful if the give a detailed and we'll argued perspective. Using that as a sarcastic button defeats the purpose of havingredients it.

What?!

Okay, I think I deciphered what you meant to say. An example: ... ah looks like they were retracted. Can't find a blatant example on my profile.

Nope found one:

A 100% subscription game is a large barrier to entry. Few people know if they want to pay $70 for a game plus $150 per year plus extras and expansions / chapters before they even try it out. That's like asking someone to go steady before you even go on the first date.

By going Buy to Play plus optional subscription, ESO gets in a steady crop of new players, casual players, or people just saying "heck why not?" If people like the game they either buy the DLCs or subscribe. If they get serious about the game beyond a certain degree, they subscribe.

If ESO relied 100% on a small group of dedicated MMO players for their revenue they'd be in big trouble. Game after game they demand special advantages and gratuitous favoritism that ultimately destroy a game.

Sooooo just make a 1-3 month free trial?

WhitePawPrints wrote: »

ZoS failed to deliver on numerous promises that came with the subscription. Content patches every three months? Took twice as long. Premium customer services? Ha! The value was no where near what was advertised or expected. That is why ESO lost the vast majority of their subscribers, and in order to keep the game going they'd have to go F2P.

Uhhhh the customer service is excellent idk what you're talking about. Unless you're being a *** in every ticket/post before you even get any kind of answer at all. I've always recieved quick help and always straight to the point.

BWAHAHAHAH!! HAHAHAH! Ah ha!!!!

Hyperbole, a handful of forum thespians doesn't make most people, most people that play this game stays away from this cesspool.

In any event I don't think the insightfuls awesomes and agrees mean much, but quite a few positive posters have a buttload, just look at @Nestor and @MissBizz profiles.

@Merlin13KAGL .......don't make me provide receipts........I don't want to have to get petty on you so I am just fine using that block button instead.

Have a good weekend.

OP posts a negative rant about negative posts getting agrees, awesomes, and insightfuls while being rewarded for doing the same.

Very insightful indeed.
