Let us make the forums more positive

Hello everyone. I hope you all are well. Star Wars: The Old Republic is a fun, well balanced, great mmorpg with great stories, lovely cutscenes, great companions and overall a fun and enjoyable atmosphere created a lot by the players in game :)

 

However, as you cross over to the forums, you will see there are many dismal, degrading, whining, bickering posts that do nothing sometimes but cause chaos, destruction, hate, anger, rage, trolls, drama where there is none. Constructive criticism has all but vanished here. We need to pay more attention to making ourselves better on the forums while we give feedback, suggestions or just plain discuss whether we agree or disagree with something ;)

 

I know many do not agree with each other at times and sometimes it becomes an off topic bickering fest of ultimate destruction. Many viewpoints are brought up within the post. Let's remember to stay on topic of the post and agree/disagree in a more civilized, decent, respectable manner for everyone's sake :)

 

Recently though, I have seen a change for the better. It is MUCH better than this time last year or any other, but it's mostly still dismal and negative. Let's change that so we make this a better place :) Let's make Star Wars: The Old Republic's game forums the best game forum there ever was. Let's give great feedback with positive views and see things more optimist for both ourselves and others, for an overall general well being on here. The main goal is to have discussions. Not pointless argue matches. :)

 

Now! Let's start making the forums a better place. Bye everyone and I hope you take this seriously.

 

Edit: I have changed the title to be a more understanding and non petition since that is against the forum rules and frowned upon. I was just poking fun with my recent one ;) That's all

Nice propaganda piece though...made me giggle.:p

 

Great MMO's do not lose 2 million sub's and go F2p in less than a year.

1) petitions, of any kind, are pointless.

2) the forums are actually much more positive these days. It's quite possible to have productive discussions these days, even when they are based upon negative thread topics. A year ago... that was not the case.

 

Sure.. we still get the drive by rage fests and frustration venting without further purpose.. but that comes with the community that plays MMOs.

Well, since it is my post I thought I would add an opinion as to what I think the game is. To me, it is a great, well balanced, fun mmorpg :) Perhaps maybe to some of you you don't like it and are here because you like Star Wars and want to see the game turn around (if you don't like it) or are waiting for something big that really grabs your attention. I understand that.

 

But to me, for what I see and yes Andryah you know to, a lot of threads are dismal and/or negative in the view of this game. Yes, they have gotten better as of late, but the goal for all of us should be to make it more positive overall and maintain the optimism going forward.

 

I have yet to see a positive post on this thread ;)

The truly dismal and hyperbolic ones really don't get much traction these days.,

 

The rant-de-jours that pop every time Bioware releases a patch, or even talks about a patch.... I'm fine with because they invite open and spirited discussion. A year ago.. they would have been gank fest pile ons.. but now days... if they are off base they get debated and rebutted back to sane discussion points in most cases.

 

The drive_by "I quit" and "I'm pissed, and here's why" threads are not common at all any more and when they do pop, they largely get ignored and relegated to page 10 fairly quickly.

 

It's mostly healthy debate these days, even when prompted by a negative thread and the entrenched ad hominem specialists that still cling to the forum.

I am poking fun at the ones who think petitions actually do something on a game forum and using the irony to try and create some giggles and funnies. That is all ;)

 

I see some take it too seriously though :( So perhaps I need to change the title :)

 

Poking fun is frowned upon in the forums.

 

Please read the rules of conduct more closely.

It is possible there is a reason for that. You decided to deride those that criticize the game, which does not bode well for your post.

 

I have been posting positive feedback lately on the game, but will not post a positive message in this thread since this is not a positive thread...it is a propaganda piece. Next time post a real positive thread and I will participate.

 

In case you didn't understand, a positive thread is one that expounds on the merits of the game without insulting others or forum members.

Perhaps you should understand what positivity and optimism are and look at the posts I make. Then you can see. But nice trying to derail the good vibes. You can post in my "state of the game" thread which i nothing but rational and logical optimism while being realistic. That's where I lay it all out nicely.

 

No, I don't tear down others that don't like the game. I understand they have their own opinions just like I have mine :) If you think this is a propaganda piece, you don't know what propaganda is. "bode well for my thread?" I'm not trying to get a certain amount of hits.

 

Oh and also to the fellow Jedi. Yes, the light side shall prevail always. Even if it doesn't look like it at the time. In the end, the light always wins.

There is nothing positive about this statement. I understand it just fine. Including it makes this propaganda IMO.

 

I think it is YOU that does not understand what positivity or propaganda is. Otherwise you would not have included this exaggerated inaccurate diatribe in your OP.

 

But like you said about those other opinions...you have yours, I have mine. And that is that.

 

You of course have the right to do what you want. But you can't call an apple an orange and expect all folks to take you for your word IMO.

Disagreed, It's a great game. In my opinion, it's the greatest game of all time and is getting better update by update.

Yes Annabeth :) It is a great game and getting better and better each update! You need to see the game for what it is. It's own game. Not try and make it out to be something it's not. Have good expectations, those of which are positive. But not TOO high, remembering to stay within the realms of being realistic :)

Well then. Bad part on those 2 million and they won't be around to see the game grow up more :) Can't have everything on the first day

 

Not the first day...1 1/2 years later. Game has a bad rep among gamers. people won't be flocking in.

Time to move on past the point where people moved away from the game. It's been years now. Lots of people are playing this game and it's getting better each patch :)

 

In your opinion. For most the game is stuck in neutral.
