Made a opinion post on the POE's subreddit. Big Mistake.

dont know about reddit but if you post a negative comment here then they will put your ass on probation. pretty much zero free speech on these forums
90%+ of people today are Haters!They will gang you and they will insult and provoke you,with no reason or any intention.
No body wants to help,or will try to understand you.Everybody will prefer to hate,rather than help.

Unless its concerning them!As long as it concerning them,the big whining and crying starts.Egoistic keyboard warriors hiding behind their letters in Internet...
That's what keyboard warriors and Internet lead to.Now if this was real life,i doubt people will react this way,knowing the big slap may be just around the corner!
As Eddie Griffin said "Pain will make you remember things and act str8"!

Advice to you is,don't sweat it,and don't Post,neither here or on Reddit.
Both POE reddit and the forum are so much spammed/derailed and downvoted into oblivion by trolls and fanboys that you can't tell if they are for real or if it's an intentional PR brigade
Gives streamers & friends queue priority and leaves supporters who spent hundreds $ packs in the 100k queue.

GGG: Don't you guys follow streamers?

Then you learned a valuable lesson about echo chambers and how useful (or not) they are for a publisher making a genuine attempt to receive legitimate feedback.

Did you notice how many people shat on reddit in this thread? There is a reason for that, you know. And it's not a general condemnation of people in general (appearances notwithstanding) but rather one of reddit's "downvote into invisibility" phenomenon.

You see, not all controversial ideas merit immediate invisibility.
Wash your hands, Exile!
I really don't read reddit and so can't speak to that but GGG does seem to sometimes respond to suggestions made here on these forums.

A recent example is when picking master missions was made an option, they were activated by visiting the master. There were a number of threads saying it would be nice for the option to be given at the map device. GGG did that! Now one might argue that it was just a coincidence :-) but, I like to think GGG was being responsive.
Over 430 threads discussing labyrinth problems with over 1040 posters in support (thread # 1702621) Thank you all! GGG will implement a different method for ascension in PoE2. Retired!

GGG monitors these forums for issues worthy of dev response. (I presume indirectly, via people paid to pick out worthwhile posts.)

They don't participate in the discussions here. There are very specific reasons that game developers would make this decision.

And the two are not mutually inclusive. The common assumption that "GGG non-participation = GGG doesn't give a shit" is blatantly wrong.

That said, it is entirely possible that they don't give a shit about certain very important pieces of feedback. ;) But that's a different issue.
Wash your hands, Exile!
I hate this league with a passion!

who else ? :)

So I made a post talking about how GGG ironically tried to slow down some zoom zoom builds but ended up creating another one through Herald Stacking. It was entirely opinion based, Never meant to trash talk about anyone at GGG or even devalue the fun experience of playing POE. But for whatever reason I was bombarded with people trashing me on simply sharing a viewpoint of the game. I still enjoy the game no matter where the game goes. Apparently, as soon as you mention some of the trigger words like "Chris", "Herald Stacking", "nerfs", etc. You will 100% get ganged by the community for simply sharing an opinion.

TLDR; Don't post an opinion on Reddit expecting to have a decent conversation with anyone there. Apparently, the community views sharing an honest opinion as a raging child complaining about the game and gangs on you with toxicity.

I don't know how it is like to share opinions on POE's forum site but after that experience I wouldn't be surprised to find it happen here.


What are you talking about? The community on this forum does the same thing. Hubristic trolls never fail to find fault. I haven't read the replies yet, but I expect to see my assertion validated.
I was right.

TLDR


If you're not gushing with worship then one of 2 things will happen,

- If you state an opinion idiots will scream "We WantZ FaCtZ"
- If you post facts idiots will scream "U CaRE 2 MuCH trYHARd JusT a GaME brUH and iTTS FrEEEEEEEE"

Don't bother with the GGG d*** suckers, they're everywhere. I believe more than half of them are trolls anyway looking to make people angry.
