Come to find recently, every thread is filled with people who want to disagree and argue. No matter how valid or even small the topic is.

I mean... yeah? Forums are for discussion? So people are going to discuss things? And that means sometimes people are going to disagree?
A topic's "validity" is also very subjective.16 -

No offence meant but isn't argueing and agreeing or disagreeing a part of discussion which in turn is the objective of having threads and an internet forum where to open them?
I mean what's the forum for then if not for that?

A topic's "validity" is also very subjective.
Sure, disagreement is going to happen sometimes in discussions. Yet in some online spaces there's a proclivity toward negativity (if it gets more attention or if visitors are bitter) and disagreement (people are often more likely to take the time reply if they don't agree unless they *really* love the content posted or they view the poster favorably). People who are dissatisfied with this game likely come to the forums to vent or complain which increases the likelihood of unfavorable responses.
There are still people on these forums who like to be social with other forum-dwellers or to mutually share/support ideas with others (hough it seems a smaller number than in 2014), so it would be incorrect to say everything is disagreement and argument. I would point out some threads that aren't filled with disagreement and argument but someone would see it as a challenge

✭Well most threads seem to be about how the game doesn't work, so I'd argue most people click threads to agree.1 -

Oh, i agree absolutely. That's just humans though - overall we have way more to say about the negative than the positive. That said - I still don't know what OP expects - especially right now when we're dealing with some serious issues in game and people are mad they may have lost rewards. It's par for the course.0 -

When I see an opinion that I support, I write my thoughts. I write that I do agree and support the OP.0 -
