Guys

We are being abused on our own forums- - and the general language from these idiots is- - - "Go back to healing" "its your role"

Now- - - these threads are all still open, whilst posts calling for sensible reconsideration are blocked due to technical "rule infractions", or completely ignored.

So- - what does that say?

What message is anyone getting here?

It says to me that the cm's have just gotten to work and are locking/banning troll threads

It also says to me that they arent picking sides as they are locking/banning druid posters making silly idle threats over a fair and justified nerfing of bear form dps.

The one message I get is the one that meets my "not going to happen" criteria: Blizzard nerfs bear, offers no compensation DPS-wise to Cat, thus turning the feral tree into yet another 2nd rate choice, finally completing a rather wicked series of events, in which Druids start playing TBC with joyful dedication, because they aren't gimped at everything but healing, and - o, behold! - end up entering the well known, delightful realm of pre-TBC "dr00d heal" mentality.

The patch isn't live yet and whispers saying the infamous killer cat will be forced resto began to appear (I PvP mostly in cat, contrary to other more bear-centric approaches), and once again I am forced to return a lot of very aggressive replies, as I did before TBC, and before 1.9. Ah, well...

I really hope that's correct- - I really WANT to believe it is- - time will tell mate!

Certainly it looks like some are being locked- - coincidentally after this thread- - sheer coincidence of course- - nothing more.....

Those threads will get locked or deleted eventaully and their creators will get banned as well. The only reason why there still might be some of those threads left is that we have not yet gotten to those reports in our report queue. Please keep reporting such threads so that we can take care of them as soon as possible. :-)

It has been an eventful weekend for sure... The patchnotes for patch 2.0.10 has caused an explosion of forum activity, and unfortunately a big part of this activity is from people, who have a hard time keeping their emotions checked and are thus intent on flaming and trolling to make themselves feel better.

We are still very busy cleaning up the forums, which unfortunately means that it can take some time before you see the offenders getting removed.

Don't get me wrong Vaneras, because I like you...Fave moderator :P

But wasn't it obvious to you that the forum would go wild? I mean, I know you guys have to have off work days too, but really...

Veneras, do you have some free jobs ? I am moving back to house soon and I need new job at France.

Anyway, I say, as if you care, do keep neutral grounds and try to keep those forums clear and clean. Would you ? Yes, emotions are high, but try to understand the players as well - and we will be fine.

And this suprised you, caught you off guard? How? You never saw it comming? You didnt plan for it? You underestimated the depth of feeling and passion of the wow community?

But do you guys have the weekend off, all of you? Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it might've been a wise move to pay you off to take a day more and get one in the other end :p

And you're welcome, ofc ;)

... because after 2 years of mental abuse druid players started to feel the game again, now it seems to be all gone again. Even druids are only human.

Honestly, until you actually give out meaningful punishment for trolling and abusing these forums it won't stop. A few days away from posting? OMG! How will I survive???

Other games have curtailed this behavior by having forum activities affect game activity. You make yourself a pain on the forums? Have a nice week off from actually playing your characters. Only the die hard trolls who are too stupid to realize action --> consequence ever break that rule.

Blizzard needs to adopt some real penalties or just admit that the trollers win regardless.

I,ve never seen so much hatred & scorn being directed @ the druid community as now & i normally only go on forum when there is a need -forgive me for saying but dont all the other classes realise we all play a small part in a larger picture?
