look a bit harder and you will see it everywhere.

This is admittedly 95% my complaint about harder AI. I don't mind harder AI at all, but I don't particularly like time sinks unless I get something out of it, even if I'm having fun doing it. I don't like it in life, certainly not in a video game.
You're incorrect about Sonic 2's cheat codes. It was a convoluted mess of dealing with an irritating hexadecimal system in the sound test and required you to have some knowledge of in-jokes. Sonic 1's cheat code was a variant of the Konami code, though. At least it wasn't like Sonic 3's ridiculous "short window" code entry that I never managed to actually do.
Ah, I see, instead of taking the time honing one's skill, one comes to the forum and complain for entitlement while shooting down "get good" arguments for not putting time in helping other players.
See irony?
I see irony, especially considering close to no one's asking people for help to get better, but instead just wanting everything to be nerfed to "I win" button.
Oh your poor fii-fiis.
People can say whatever the they like, that's the nature of the online landscape. If I'm better than you at the game, I have every right to tell you to 'git gud' because I kicked your ass.
This comes into play with pvp, trading and exploration when I decide to do it. Granted, I'm nicer than most and will offer advice and paths to do so, I've written a couple extensive guides concerning trade routes for people who aren't as fortunate as to discover them by accident like I did, but that doesn't change the fact that my message is the same as the message of the guy who blew your ship to hell as you were exiting a letterbox then taunted you in the chat telling you to 'git gud'.
And finally; saying players should be isolated and removed from the crowd is not only going to make the game less competitive, but it'll also take away a major goal for players- that being so that they can get good at the game, and surpass the people so they can tell them to 'git gud' and look good to the people around them because they *drumroll* GOT GOOD.
And the whole toxic thing really isn't true. I've found that once you start ignoring all the idiots that tell you to kill yourself, or you learn to laugh at their shoddy insults the community is not only less toxic, but you can actually make a lot of really, really good friends in the community.
And complaining on the forums about the community being toxic is what I'd call a self-fulfilling prophecy; you're going to draw the crappy people out of the woodwork just so they can prove you right, while the intelligent people will either act as I have or flat out ignore you.
There are lots of terms that need to be stamped out of existence.
It seems to me that you have been triggered by the PvP community.
I am sorry you feel this way, but if you took the time to actually get to know any of the major PvP groups you would find that they are actually all really great and mature people.
Are we seriously using "triggered" like that now?It seems to me that you have been triggered by the PvP community.
The creative use of everyday language is one of those mechanism that adolescents use to distinguish themselves from the establishment of their parents.Are we seriously using "triggered" like that now?
Good lord. That should be the real offense right there.
Well, you may be more adept at using the language than the average working-class individual, but I can assure you that many of us a quite eloquent in how we express knowledge and information.The creative use of everyday language is one of those mechanism that adolescents use to distinguish themselves from the establishment of their parents.
Now in the absence of any real world problems that are worth rebelling against, since war, disease, famine, corruption and weird politics have been extinguished, they need to rebel against teh interweb.
Maybe my concern about the adolescation of the english language is unwarranted, but being the 4th language I picked up, I do care for it's purity and find it worrying that my written and spoken mastery of it surpasses that of native speakers.

I honestly can't tell if you are being serious or not with that bolded part. Damn this slide phone's small screen.The creative use of everyday language is one of those mechanism that adolescents use to distinguish themselves from the establishment of their parents.

Ah, now I did spend quite some time in the working class etablissements of Newcastle during my studies, fraternizing with the locals and honing my "colloquial english" (that book stuff won't get you anywhere).Well, you may be more adept at using the language than the average working-class individual, but I can assure you that many of us a quite eloquent in how we express knowledge and information.
We just happen to become utter idiots when the discussion concerns our hobbies and we have the shield of anonymity.

Well, most teenagers don't sincerely understand or care about the issues you bolded. To take the example in your signature; oppression in the west has been annihilated. People my age have no real issues to rally against, and so, we either make things up to give ourselves false purpose, do something better with our remaining 60 or so years, or waste their time on entertainment mediums, like our species has done since the printing press gave us our first chance to placate ourselves with fictional worlds.I honestly can't tell if you are being serious or not with that bolded part. Damn this slide phone's small screen.
And besides, how many people do you know that are willing to go to Saudi or South Sudan just to help other people, and risk their lives in the process?
99% chance your answer is either a lie, your own opinion or 0.
