Hey, I like this story, can´t wait to see what you guys made :D

Also, stop hating on not getting the deets on the latest currency, you guys. This is just a person sharing their excitement and story, which I can appreciate. All will be revealed in time.

If you read my earlier post, you'd see that I like these threads (normally). In fact, I've liked EVERY other thread like this that I've come across.

Here's why theres negativity; every other thread I've seen has the following:

Past iterations of the item, with the author, if not listing every affix it had, listing the core thing that made it unique. This lets us imagine what could have been, and lets us know what the author/creator is interested in, as we get a bit of insight into his or her starting point.

A little bit of back story about their lives. The Cloak of Tawmr'Isley guy told us about how important LARP was to him, and how extravagant his campaigns were. He even included a picture.

The item spoiled at the end.

The OP in this case included none of that. This didn't need it's own thread - this could have been cut in half and posted in the comments of the GGG announcement. That's why I called it a waste of time. If you liked this 'story', I've got some paint you can pay me to watch dry -_-

Spoiler

And don't get it twisted, the negativity is directed at the thread and the content it lacks. Not towards OP the person, not towards the item, or anything like that. Support is what keeps the game going, and plenty of supporters both big and small have done actual shitty things. Big picture point of view: we're probably, what, days away from having the stuff in game?

Maybe you should reserve some of that negativity for i_no and solwitch trash threads.

To get back to the topic at hand - the idea that you can't or shouldn't express a negative opinion about something because something else deserves it more is like saying we shouldn't raise money for Alzheimer's or cancer because heart disease is a bigger killer of people in America.

Well, the topic is titled "how stacked deck came to be" and the OP did write exactly that. I see no harm.

'I sent ideas to GGG, they said no to all of them. I sent them another one. They said yes. I'm excited.'

You're saying it's accurate. It can be both accurate and a boring let-down simultaneously. If 'not harming anyone' is the threshold for holding a positive view of something, or for opposing someone else's negative view, that's a very low bar.

Only moderately annoyed that there are players out there with information that other players are denied... after all, they paid for the privilege.
