Should people asking for nerfs be banned from forums?

Chronicburn

Go ruin someone else's fun game ?

Queo

So are you taking to the forum, to ask for forum nerfs?

The_Protagonist

Yes

Where's the option to ban useless poll makers?

Dunno, but this is the first poll I've seen in a while that has clear, unbiased answer options and is relevant to my interests.

Malic

Yes

Never happen, its these sniffling cry babies that are the whales that make companies money. They'll always get a platform.

KochDerDamonen

No

Gods, shut up...

More people cry about this than ask for nerfs, I swear

Yarlenzey

No

The good, kind folk that listen and introduce the nerf are the ones that should be banned.

SirAndy

No

Useless poll is useless ...

Trinotops

No

Maybe if they repeatedly make posts about it to the point where they're just spamming, but there is no reason to ban someone for expressing their honest opinion about something.

SydneyGrey

Yes

I love how there's no middle ground. LOL. It's either yes or no.
Of course I don't really think they should be banned, but wow, I cringe at the "nerf everything except what I play" threads. That kind of crap is what got us the Nerfapocalypse Patch of Doom when Morrowind dropped.

kargen27

No because I don't want to be all alone again.

Drdeath20

No

I learn alot from those threads. How to counter, what combo players are trying to use on me, ways to avoid stuff.

The reality is if you dont like a thread, then dont read it.

Adernath

No

No. But those nerf threads need to be watched more carefully and locked down quickly if the OP was not constructive in any way. Also they should be locked if people start small-talk and keep bumping the thread constantly, as it was done in the past.

WuffyCerulei

No

Various nerfs and balances are needed at times, and they wouldn't be brought out anywhere else but the forums. Most of the time, they've made sense, like changing several proc sets and OP skills like before Radiant Destruction was nerfed.
However, anyone who stupidly complains for an overall nerf of a class or build should be told to shush if they don't stop.

Freedom of speech... The good the bad the ugly

Defilted

No

People just need to learn to present an idea, not just point out something they do not like.

It s fine if an ability is changed that benefits the game as a whole. It is not fine if an ability is changed just becasue someone does not like it.

If I do not like something, my first reaction is to consider and idea that would be better than what we have(IMO). This is true in my life, not just in the game.

Some people if they do not like something, just to come on the forums and tell everyone why it is bad, but never have a countering idea. There is a lack of real critical thinking and I believe is what really leads to this behavior.

In closing..

I do not believe that anyone should be banned from the forums for telling everyone that X should be nerfed(I am an American so I believe in the concept of free speech). At some point I would hope that person is going to start to understand that presenting something as just negative without pointing a way to a brighter future gets them a negative reaction. If they understand this at some point we will start to see better criticism/ideas from that same person later. We are all a different stages of learning.

Chronicburn

Yes

I'm all in favor of people calling for improvements to their own class in order to counter an ability that they think is hard to deal with ... but these "Ruin that guys character because I suck" threads have to go ... along with their makers!

SoLooney

people who ask for nerfs need to git gud, if they ask for sorc nerfs, they need to be banned from the game

DDuke

No

Sure, let's not discuss balance whenever it happens to be inconvenient to someone.

Brilliant idea, 10/10.

Merkabeh

Yes

...but only if they ask for nerfs to my favorite classes/skills/sets!

Chronicburn

Yes

Bad comparison. I'm not asking for a nerf ... it's a ban. Think more along the lines of what happened to Ron White when he was tossed out of that bar in NY...

Ardan147

No

No, but they should be mocked for it.

Tommy_The_Gun

No

Inarre

No

Lets imagine zos buffs sorc shields to 300% power, 30 second duration and every sorc ever becomes invincible and eso turns into elder sorcs online.

And youre telling me you want anyone who points out the imbalance to get banned?

Yeah calling nerf happens far too often but this solution is extreme.

Tyreal1974

Yes

NERF NOT LEST YE BE NERFED! Lol, Trollin with my trollies

In your "ever-so-realistic" example, I would ask for my own class to be buffed with some type of equally rediculous counter, not a nerf ... unless I was the sorc ofc then hey

sevomd69

No

Seems a little drastic... you can always choose not to read the nerf threads...just saying...

Dysprosium

No

I do think anyone asking for nerfs should really be rewording their posts because just saying nerf magsorc says nothing. If there is a lack of balance - be specific about where there is unbalance and how you have come to the conclusion.

Whenever I see a banket nerf statement I just think- oh there is a cry baby who got taken down in pvp quckly and wants to blame the system instead of improving their own game.

Should people asking for nerfs be banned from forums?

Does requesting nerfs to pro-nerfers qualify for the ban?

Nope, private forums, no free speech. They could ban you because they are bored.

Vapirko

Nerf the nerfers.

Bbsample197
