What's this non nerf thread doing here?
I think the sarcastic awesome crew is also pretty small. The sarcastic lol came out of beta, and people have been using awesome for legit funny things just as long. That's why nothing else has caught on as the sarcastic response. You can't just redefine the meaning of the other reactions which took months to condition.Elektrakosh wrote: »There are people who use insightful for the same purpose as a lol.

I disagree. LOLs were just used to troll in many cases. ZOS has taken the "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all" approach with those buttons and I think that's fine.
I think there is a very small percentage of people who do this.anitajoneb17_ESO wrote: »I use insightful as.. insightful, agree as ... agree and awesome as... awesome.
Unbelievable !!
I think most people do this... then there are those who use "awesome" sarcastically.
Do you want sarcastic insightfuls...Elektrakosh wrote: »There are people who use insightful for the same purpose as a lol.

You can change the button, but not undo it completely, as I recall.
...where's the "Disagree" button?

The problem with the "LOL" button was that it was never clear whether people were laughing with the poster or laughing at him. The present buttons are perfectly adequate in my view, and as for interpreting them I take the words literally.

I generally would like to know who's face I have put a smile on and who has been rude and said "insightful" (because let's be honest it's the closest thing to IDGAF) but I can't see it! Let me see who the cheeky devils are!
