    Yeah because it's all about the hate...


    I interact with several different ESO streamers a couple I completely disagree with, but they can present their argument in a non hysterical way.

    You called him a "drama queen twitpilot," whatever that is, in the very first comment you posted in this thread. Your bias against him is obvious. In your case, yeah, it's about the hate.

    Whatever dude, he's having a full PTSD melt down on line right now over a video game, I think the guy needs help and I'm not saying that to be a jerk. I can tell you're a fan and if you care about the guy you should be concerned with his well being.

    Also, firstly, not your brothers keeper.

    Two...I dont think you know what PTSD means. I took a look at the stream too. He's likely had about enough of the constant balance changes and games industry conventions as the rest of us, dunno why you keep trying to see a deeper meaning behind it.

    We are all our brothers keepers, or should be.

    Also you don't know me so I'm just going to laugh my *** at that other observation.

    No deeper meaning I just listened to the guy....apparently you didn't.

    I did. Aaand I drew a different conclusion.

    And no we're not. Trust me, we're not. Faux concern as a means to lob criticism isn't very hard to see, trust me. Or do you donate to charity on a regular basis? Eitherway. I said it before and I'll say it again, the man is currently having some duress as to his living situation, and is deciding betwen potentially personal enjoyment and money. It's not like the stress of having to provide isn't factoring into it.

    I dont know whether or not he has the audience to basicly move wherever he wants and still support himself. I do know that if he dosent, that makes the choice all the worse.

    People judge, far too harshly to me.

    I may be a foul-mouthed DB, but cash me ousside whn u say that.

    PelinalWhitestrake LMAO! Fam' I swear you be having me rolling sometimes when I browse through these forums. But you never lied tho'. A lot of forum posters need to straight-up cash a lot of peeps they talk reckless to ousside. I'll run a fade with anybody that I feel violated me. Lololol. Even gave someone the hands over stealing 'my' node during the Thieves Guild event w/ video proof. :D
    WTF is this even English? I swear I am going to get beat the hell up when I visit the States later this year because I'll have no idea what you're all on about and end up insulting someone.

    Turelus Don't worry. Just tell anyone who appears to have an issue with you that, "Justice rains from above." However, be aware that you may not be able to finish that sentence. In fact, there's a very strong chance at that. But in the mean time, just simply ask if they'd like to know the forecast. :trollface:
    Noted.

    My plan is to just use my British wit and charm to make them think I am friendly whilst actually insulting them.

    Jolly good you old Marmite muncher! (I hope the mods are not British)

    If you're British just wear glasses and say big words. All of us will just think you're smart.
    I do wear glasses, but ironically all my US friends know bigger words than me. I could throw out Antodisestbloshmentarianism but it's hard to get that into conversations.

    Edit. Okay my phone butchered that word, but you should get what I mean.

    In the absence of big words feel free to delicately use random British swear words. You guys are way better at making up bad words than we are.

    Now I have to see if bollocks is blocked.

    Edit: It's not! Hooray for British swear words!

    I think he needs to do a life check if a game is making him melt down like that, he should think about different choices.

    Not sure why youre giving him a hard time and referencing PTSD about a vet while hes talking about something hes passionately dedicated a lot of time to for himself and his community hes built.... the comment is really inconsiderate.


    He needs a life check? This is a 'melt down'? Yelling and being pissed about serious changes? I dont agree with every opinion on balance he said, not yet at least - but everyone is entitled to their opinion. Its easy to poke at people while youre sitting comfortably behind the screen at home. Not sure how many pages you need to reply on a thread about how someone else should react and how their feelings should be invested in an issue. Also - he didnt caveat on anything at the end. Hes pissed about the game and his longer term interests appeared to shift.

    Ive received the same treatment for going off about things that enraged me about a game I dedicated time to building a community. People that dont stream share the same feelings of frustration. Long and the short of it is stop trying to push off onto everyone how someone should carry themselves - especially when theyve done a lot of positive things for the game and are an overall good character.

    Not sure about ZOS's rules but in the US at least anyone who has intentionally put themselves in the public eye is allowed to legally be made fun of.

    For example ... a random person fails a drug test. You're not legally allowed to go on Facebook and say "Did you guys hear Joe failed a drug test?" But ... if a Major League Baseball player fails one you are completely allowed to do that because they have chosen a profession that is in the public eye.

    Essentially we can say whatever we want about Deltia as long as we can back it up even a small amount.

    I guess it boils down to this: why is ZOS making some of these changes?

    MMO's change, I still remember rage-quitting a character in a comic-book MMO a decade ago, after they nerfed something.

    But some of these changes look suspiciously like they were done to make money, not to balance the game or make the game better.

    Their likely running damage control, or have held off as the devs try to gleam feedback like druids looking through bird entrails.

    And whether it be faux concern, people looking to knock someone up high down a couple pegs, that's all it is. Community was allways toxic, this isn't new.

    Fengrush said it best, but it's not like this is anything new for the community. Or any MMO community. Allways gonna have the envious, the iconoclast, or just the plain malignant.

    When you sit and cry on the forums about something yet consume the product you're addicted. Want change? Stop playing, paying and move on.

    He's onto something here.

    As a good friend once told me. If you start seeing your relationship with ZOS as that of an addict and a skooma dealer, things start making more sense.


    If the quality of your next batch of skooma goes down, you grumble, but you buy it anyway. You can throw a fit and threaten not to buy anymore but your dealer will just laugh. They know you are coming back for more so all your demands and tantrums are meaningless. Besides, they have enough people addicted that even if you did manage to quit, it wouldn't matter.

    All the other addicts get on your back for dissing the quality of the skooma because they are also addicted. So the dealer can keep decreasing the purity of the product till they find the point where enough people stop coming back for more. Then they raise it slightly. Just enough to get you to come back to the game one more time and give it another try (cough one tamriel cough). Bam. Addiction is in full swing again and suddenly, you find yourself 1 year later crying on the forums because the quality has decreased again.


    Video games are an addictive substance. Companies go out of their way to design them that way. It's called "sticky systems."
    When you get someone addicted to your product, their collective bargaining power diminishes and you can do whatever you want.

    Love how everyone now use cliche words now "I playing templar healer since beta".
    Well, if for 3 years all you could did with templar class is playing "templar healer", you seems never actually played templar.
    @Wrobel @ZOS_RichLambert please don't fall into all this rant and don't revert changes no matter what. Those are are finally most healthier changes for templar class.
    Nothing to add to such thread, keep ranting.

    I find it interesting that the community isn't toxic when people who buy Crown Crates are given a 19 page walk of shame, we are told that never happen'd after the thread is deleted, but some YouTube hero goes into a rant that he later pulls because he know's it doesn't cast him in the best light...and the forum is suddenly toxic for pointing out how unhinged it was.

    When you sit and cry on the forums about something yet consume the product you're addicted. Want change? Stop playing, paying and move on.

    He's onto something here.

    As a good friend once told me. If you start seeing your relationship with ZOS as that of an addict and a skooma dealer, things start making more sense.


    If the quality of your next batch of skooma goes down, you grumble, but you buy it anyway. You can throw a fit and threaten not to buy anymore but your dealer will just laugh. They know you are coming back for more so all your demands and tantrums are meaningless. Besides, they have enough people addicted that even if you did manage to quit, it wouldn't matter.

    All the other addicts get on your back for dissing the quality of the skooma because they are also addicted. So the dealer can keep decreasing the purity of the product till they find the point where enough people stop coming back for more. Then they raise it slightly. Just enough to get you to come back to the game one more time and give it another try (cough one tamriel cough). Bam. Addiction is in full swing again and suddenly, you find yourself 1 year later crying on the forums because the quality has decreased again.


    Video games are an addictive substance. Companies go out of their way to design them that way. It's called "sticky systems."
    When you get someone addicted to your product, their collective bargaining power diminishes and you can do whatever you want.

    Whether or not the toxicity was -justified- as to the crown crates, perfect example.

    But then again, my statement stands.
