Lots of 'Trolling' lately.

[Bomber]

I hear you

Last couple of days. More today. Just an observation. No names.

At least play the game before posting a critique about what you think you might not like. Ignorance isnt pretty. Just saying...

Aye Hootmon, I had someone have a go at me for thanking ED for their hard work and efforts to date. No pleasing some people.
Humour the best form of attack...a bit off topic but maybe we should only speak 2 words every 10 years

A young priest decided to enter a monastery. He joined one particularly strict sect. The head monk told him, at his indoctrination, that they were sworn to TOTAL silence. They could not speak one word at all. However, every ten years, they would be permitted to speak two words.After 10 years of total silence, the head monk indicated it was now time for him to speak his two words. The monk said, “Bed hard!” And then he resumed his silent study and work.Another 10 years passed and the head monk again indicated it was time for him to speak his two words. The monk said, “Food bad!” And then he resumed his silent study and work.Another 10 years passed and the head monk again indicated it was time for him to speak his two words. The monk said, “I quit!”The head monk shook his head and said, “I knew this was coming. You’ve done nothing but complain for the past 30 years!”

Imo, elitist posts like this discourage new members from posting their questions about the game.. So, you've been here from the beginning? Lots of people backed the game when you did, nothing wrong with watching videos and commenting on aspects of gameplay or features included in the game. The people you're refering to are probably just guilty of not having read the mountain of information in the design discussion archive.

If you think someone's trolling, just don't reply and let the thread get buried, simple! No need to make another completely useless thread which serves no purpose.

I'm confused by your comment. Hootmon made the observation that there are more people trolling the forum lately. In doing so he(?) expressed a view and we are now discussing the merits of that view.

This said, I'm not aware of their being there has been more trolling lately. Rather, I think I'm just starting to figure out those who, eh, display a little less decorum when posting. Invariably it becomes difficult to ignore them and perhaps they make it appear like there are trolls under every thread.

 

[Zarquon Beeblebrox]

So trolling = critique , then. I see.

Yeah there are lots of trolling on these forums. Most of it are.

No, that is not what trolling means.

Well, if we're going to share a beer at the 'ol vets bar here...

I was a SySop on the old Compuserve Flight Sim forum, running duties on a DEC mainframe text editor (ugh) before there was a Web. All dialup modems. We ran FS fly-ins and talked about things like the Red Baron game, ran tournaments to see who could last the longest in a career. Good times. I still have a leather bomber jacket given to me by Microsoft with a big "Flight Simulator" embroidered on the back. It hasn't actually fit me in years, but my girlfriend likes it. Then AOL got dumped on the 'Net, the Web exploded, and it all went to hell.

No, not really. Those were simple times, and I'm amazed at how powerful our computers are now, and I'm finally flying air combat and space games I could only dream of, back then. The good news is that you're never too old to enjoy these games... up to a point... and I'm not there yet. I'm still betting on "old and crafty beats young and fast" to get by.

Ohh the memories; Using the C-64, mine was "Q-link". Just hung out and played the online games; (casino games)...enjoyed it so much.

Yeah Zarquon; they that troll, don't like to be discussed.

Most are unintentional.

True trolling is pretty rare, I cant actually remember an instance from the top of my head.

Most people are just genuinely confused by what they just bought and make a thread moaning about it.

'I know its a beta but, hey this game really sucks, why would they release it in this state?,'

Thats basically the essence of almost every single moaning thread on this forum.

...First, if you have one working hand you DONT need a DC. Second, if you dont HAVE one working hand, the DC exists.

It´s all about the music.

And yeah, agree with OP and many here, forums change more people join them.

Is it good or bad? Matter of taste, said dog licking it´s balls.

 

[Avago Earo]

its to be expected, the alpha backers saw it when the premium beta group arrived and the premium beta group saw it when the standard beta group arrived, and you will see it again when the Gamma groups arrive. just bite your tongue when you see posts regarding how bad elite dangerous is because you will see many more after release,

Yeah. I joined in at Premium Beta stage and although I didn't (as far as I recall, [hic]) make any negative posts, I sure as hell got frustrated. Really wanted to sound off but didn't want a shoot me down reply.

Maybe people just want to sound off to others who play the same game.

Unless you want to phone NHS direct...

Questions are fine. I wasnt talking about questions.

So, you've been here from the beginning?

Nope.

Thus no naming of names and the use of 'quotes' in the thread title...

Ive got no particular problem with that, but same-game-players arent the subject of this thread.
