    Awww I only LOL'd when I thought it was funny :'(
    If options weren't necessary, and everyone played the same way, no one would use addons. Fix the UI!

    Why zos whyyyyyyyyyyyy?! Where is the logic behind this? God forbid we have a means of indicating that we feel someone's post is silly and/or incorrect.

    Ok from now on, let us all agree to use "insightful" replace "lol", which was previously used to replace "disagree".

    I think the whole lol and disagree buttons should stay gone. If you do not agree post why you do not agree. Dont just click a button.

    We only need a "disagree" button, so we don't have to replace "disagree" with something else :D

    I rejoice in its absence and will not miss it for a moment.

    ...of course now I am wondering how many LOLs this post would have gotten under the old system ;) .

    Players shall quickly adapt, you can't kill freedom of opinion on the anonymous internet.

    They will elect another option as "disagree". If they keep removing options they'll just write the disagreement in the post.

    If you look at the broader picture, you understand the forum designer is following the same identical pattern they did in ESO: nerf and remove options in hope things self improve.
    Reality begs to differ.

    If they'd just give us our disagree option back we wouldn't have to substitute it with anything else. I mean, ok so you don't want anyone's feelings to be hurt because people disagree? Well, we are all supposed to be adults here! :smiley: We are definitely going to disagree with one another, just give us the button already!

    Oh well, I could use some insightfuls anyhow lol!

    So, if a post is funny we....what, use awesome? I mostly used LOL for it intended purpose. And how will I ever get my next LOL badge. Somewhat ironic, didn't Gina just comment yesterday about maybe bringing back the Disagree flag? Instead, we loose LOL. Now that is funny.....I mean awesome. :D

    that is the best and most wonderfull picture on the internet, i wish i could have it as my signature because it is perfect.

    on-topic tho, i must admit it was being used as an insult seeing that the person only might have mentioned that they wish for a certain item, or event, or even a function in the game and people clicked "LOL" just to spite the person, seeing 27 "LOL"s on a post that simply said they like the option to go faster on thier mounts was rediculas and insulting and embarrasing the person who made the post.
    surely you could have known this. it is the best change on the forums, in addition to the new wonderfull forum layout. i see good things in eso future.

    You cannot disagree with someone without making some anonymous quip? If you disagree post you disagree.

    If people use "Insightful" or "Awesome" as the new "LOL" what they will do is remove everything except for "Agree" and that can be the new "LOL" :smile:

    You guys can still express your negativity. Just put it in a reply... The o only difference is you can't do it anonymously anymore.

    If you do make insightful your new lol, I really don't think anyone will mind at all.
    Ask not what your sweetroll can do for you....

    If you follow this logic, you would expect a post every time you see a flag. Aren't the flags a way to respond without posting? I don't see this as a logic to not have a Disagree flag.

    No, I did not say that I couldn't, actually. I generally "voice" my opinion as well as a click of a button, thank you. However, as this thread proves, something else will be used. So the options then become, A. Give us a disagree button or B. Remove them all. Problem solved :smiley:

    The LOL flag was meant to be if you thought the post was funny. There is no need for a disagree or LOL button. If you disagree post constructively why you disagree or just move on to the next post if it isnt important enough.
