As someone who is being referred to as a troll in the other threads (for having the audacity of raising the question of whether helf fans should consider toning down their machine gun of requests) I think it HUGELY ironic that one of the points I raised regarding why people tend to get grump on this matter (that helf fans for some reason need thread after thread after thread) we have here a thread that is for no explicit purpose other than to tell people to “stop saying X, look, we don’t have the most, stop saying that and leave us alone”.
Seeing as I was accused of “trying to censor the opinions of helf fans” with my question in the other thread (hahaha) I sincerely hope this thread is taken in the same manner by those whom accused me of such.
After all: it’s precisely the same. What we have here is someone raising a point, pointing to the facts around it, and then inferring that “this should be enough to make you consider being quiet” but I bet my bottom dollar this won’t be interpreted as “attempting to censor the opinions of those players”. Oh no. This is merely “spitting facts”.
It’s ridiculous. As I’ve always said I support customisation options in themselves and that doesn’t change but I will say the helf community as displayed of late: displays the self-awareness and coherence of a spaghetti salad suffering from an identity crisis.
You have people telling others they’re wrong for expressing their thoughts, trying to point out how their basis is wrong, so they shouldn’t do it, all hunky dory, whilst moaning about how others disagreeing on the matter or simply asking you to “slow down” or even simply stating “I’m tired, here’s why” are screeched at for “denying your opinion” and “how is it fair we’re subjected to this?”
All the while having 4-5 threads going on at current, and not only that, but derailing the Nightborne, Wildhammer and Highmountain threads with more of your requests?
You’re a bunch of naval gazing hypocrits. People calling you out for showing up in every thread not about you, and in addition to this having a separate thread (or multiple) for each individual request isn’t people trying to censor you. It’s people telling you that maybe you should consider going about your business a different way. Because the way you’re doing it at the minute isn’t endearing people to you, and when you then complain they’re targeting you, no sympathy is given.
You want people to not complain about Helf fans in the Wildhammer thread? Then don’t post several posts in the Wildhammer thread about helf stuff and “how cool my helf is gonna be” in there. It’s pretty basic stuff.
Freaking talk about people showing you courtesy to pursue what you love? What you like? Show others the same dang consideration and maybe just maybe they’ll back off a bit. It isn’t rocket science. How many people have complained about Nightbornes being everywhere of being demanding? I mean they’ve had the same focus of late and indeed many of their fans have made additional lists of requests despite the tease…? None. You know why? Because they keep it in their singular thread. They don’t pop up in other race threads to derail, and where they do pop up it’s to say “we’re happy you’re getting this!” Full stop. No Additional requests being made at the same time. Just support. Take a leaf out of their book. They do it exactly the right way!
But I’ll tell you this, making a thread explicitly to moan about “how the other players are wrong, they shouldn’t be doing this” is absolutely tone deaf. People are telling you clearly: IT’S TOO MUCH. It’s oversaturating. Creating another thread? Lord almighty. I’ve heard your community is large. Surely one individual in that community has an iota of PR common sense right?
oh and I’m not even going to mention the threat I’ve received.
