I'm sorry but your last point is just stupid.

All I'm reflecting on is people's griefs that can be avoided with the right mindset. People do have it worse. If you think my point is stupid, why don't you imagine a camera floating at bird's eye view range, and picking up someone at their luxurious home, on the computer, with the A/C on, a wife, children, a pet, a garden, with all sorts of other things, while they are slamming their fist on the desk because of trivial matters.

Doesn't sound that stupid of a point when I explain it that way, huh? People make things far worse than they actually are, and my time and experience was used to express what I thought deeply about the situation. Take it or leave it. Don't resort to narrow observations.

Go be a failed psychologist somewhere else.

Her last point is not stupid at all. It's a classic cognitive coping mechanism.

"People compare themselves and their situations to other people who are worse off, and this makes people feel better about themselves."

-from: Social Psychology and Human Nature
By Roy F. Baumeister, Brad J. Bushman

Please read and research before calling other people retarded.

I appreciate the ideas that you've presented here OP. You've given us something to think about and use, or discard, depending on our own personal inclinations. Good job!

No, it is actually retarded, stop over exaggerating your examples. According to your logic, if someone chopped off both your arms, you shouldn't even complain since there's also someone in the world without arms and also without legs.

Stop using this failed logic. Your other points are fine, but this one is not.

You're the one exaggerating the examples. Tell me, naru. What will complaining do? Then what will cognitive resonance do? The right mindset would trump any negative mindset. You're only helping my discussion by making errored statements.

OP is depressing the hell out of me. Some sort of conditioning to continue doing something you don't enjoy. Seems more like a sickness than anything.

Then we can agree, can't we?

About what? Some point I wasn't addressing?

Also everything you say or do tends to stifle legitimate discussion (flowery use of words is not legitimate) more than silencing childish complainers.

That's because what you enjoy is based entirely off of your current mood. People love sex, but there are actually times where your mindset just isn't in the mood for sex. That's why they say "I'm not in the mood for sex." But they still love it when they are in the mood. The same applies to your account, just switch the word "sex" with the words "this game".

As I had expected. A condescending response that isn't, in any way, focused on an agreement and only pursues its own right or the devil's advocate.

I know that plenty of you have reached that trance state where you are suddenly a lot better than you normally are at anything

They call this state "Mode"

I have only been known to achieve Mode in games like league of legends or starcraft. Generally not needed in an ARPG.

Sad thing is, that it is all BS. He doesn't even play the game. I'll never understand people who spend all their time posting on forums about stuff they dont even do, as if they are some kind of self-proclaimed expert.

He doesn't even level, yet here telling others how to grind. He doesn't have any high characters/HC characters/anything, yet telling people what builds work and don't work, as if his opinion is better than those who are experiencing end game/this game.

He doesn't understand that people came to these conclusions with TESTING. Something he hasn't done. You think people just randomly said HP builds are the best? No. People test and attempt to break/min/max this game all the time. They came to this conclusion in the game's current state by attempting to make the best builds. Yet, to him everyone is full of it because from his perch on the forums, he can deduce stuff without ever playing the game, or his imaginary friends that never come to back him up with their high lvl HC no life characters say that everyone else that plays this game is wrong and only he has the right ideas.

In reality, he just trolls these forums trying to make friends and be accepted. It is sad really. Just look at this post; what is the point? Sympathy? Pat on the Back? Golf Clap? I think in another thread he mentions how everyone likes him and debating with him blah blah blah.

There isnt jack in this post relevant to anything. The mere fact he doesn't even play the game yet makes these long winded BS posts as if he is some expert just gets me. Go play the game, deceptionist, then get back to us with your amazing insights.

My offer still stands, buddy (deceptionist). I would love nothing more than to watch you flop over to various things in HC as you attempt to prove everyone who came before you wrong. So please, level up to about 45 or so, with some no HP build, and we will go rollin through the game so I can watch you get 1 shot trying to show us who tests these things that WE made the mistakes.

Maybe you would come across as sensible if you weren't resting my alleged troll status on "This man doesn't do HC, therefore he doesn't play the game."

Hey, Dave. I composed music that people loved in another thread. I want you to explain to us all how I could've composed music that relates to the music in Act 2: Church and Act 3: Crematorium and Act 3: Lunaris Temple, if I didn't play the game, as you stated.

Secondly, I want you to tell us all how there isn't a difference between applied information and information. I have information about this game, but it's only validated once I apply it? Do you know that many of the people in the past couldn't apply their ideas until later? Did that make them anymore wrong?

Please respond. I want you to discuss your unplausable statements.
