Recently an online game I play revealed much of their changes for the next patch. For the specific content that I like to interact with, it seems like theres a rather large (and probably not intended) change to this content that is not only a big "nerf", but also seems to go against the studio's design philosphy. I've made posts and comments talking about it, but the thing I keep running into is people just downvoting what I'm saying into obscurity. I have people interact and with people that are dismissive I iterate exactly why, which very specific information, its not just some small change... and what I get back is a downvote, and really nothing else. I literally upvote everyone that responds, no matter how antagonistic, simply because I want to talk about it and appreciate the interaction, but it seems like people when confronted with information that makes them feel like they had it wrong just reflexively downvote.

Its incredibly infuritating. So yeah, thanks hexbear for doing away with fucking downvotes, this shit seems so toxic and I'm glad I've always relegated reddit into mostly a space where I look up relevant info for whatever hobby, or information about products that I need.

I played on a very large server, but I specifically remember a gnome mage becoming my arch nemesis. He went as far as to wear shadow reflectors when we would end up in the same battlegrounds, and would spam emotes whenever he killed me. I hope he found that as enjoyable as I did, I thought our little tiff was hilarious.

Reminds me of my WoW days too. Used to play on a RP-PVP server as horde, there was this high-end raiding guild on the alliance side who basically acted as some fucking contras or something, they always tried to murder all horde no matter where we were, and usually with like 3-1 advantage, and then they corpse-camped you. These people were fucking good at the PVP too, combined with their gear I've been on a losing fight of 4-2 with them even if we were all the same level sweat

Looking back it was pretty fun to go into Stranglethorn and notice from afar members of the guild and have to do some calculations if you'd manage to stay hidden from them to do your questing or if it would be better to just leave.
