I prefer to think of it as players who cannot think of good posts, so they attempt to persuade support to rewrite the posts for them.

How one wants one's *privately owned internet forum* operated and one's *publicly funded country* operated can and should be two entirely different things. Your hyperbole regarding the two is unproductive at best, laughable at worst.

Support desperately need to expand their idea of 'antagonism' from merely responses and towards actual threads started merely to antagonise, as these 'game is dead' threads certainly are.

"Freedom of speech" is an universal concept. How a country decides to currently implement it, is of little relevance for how any particular person wants the "freedom of speech" to be like.

The game will truly be dead when topics like this stop appearing. So far the game seems incredibly active with this topic appearing almost daily for the last year.

Game = Forum?

A wise man once pointed out that the forum is 50% of the game.

LOL. Yeah, okay. Another person who doesn't grasp the difference between 'freedom of speech' as it was intended (freedom to speak against a government should it become tyrannical) and as it is being thrown around these days (freedom to say any old stupid, insulting shit without no repercussion DESPITE forum guidelines to the contrary)...

Genius.

"Freedom of speech" is a highly philosophical concept. For the philosophical discourse, it doesn't matter what any specific person or entity intended "freedom of speech" to be.

Agreed, but we're not being highly philosophical here, are we? We're trying to be practical. Save the navel-gazing for an arena where it might actually matter. Phil101, perhaps.

They also need to take care of disgusting whiteknights like you! Who can say what they want because they throw their bank account at the devs!

PS GAMES DEAD

What? I thought Chris has always stated that PoE was never ever going to be a Pay-To-Win game? You mean if I was super wealthy and could throw millions at GGG they'd actually tune PoE to my ideal of the perfect arpg and I'd be in arpg heaven? That money talks and bull shit walks? If that was true, then come to the America and totally embrace our political election system.

ZZZ...ZZZ... yawn! ... wow, that was a bizarre dream... or was it? Damn me, I didn't think it was possible. Oh right, I forgot to take my meds yeasterday. Sorry.

ps. Who ever said that sarcasm and cynicism were productive? Must be the same person that thinks desync is not a problem.

It is very much practical to let private forums have a very high degree of freedom, even more so than we currently have in this forum.

I didn't say private, I said privately owned. Extremely significant difference. I think you can figure it out.
