I'm sorry. Grow up. Simple as. Yes, people need to vent, and general venting doesn't get banned unless it gets out of hand. Even heated debates about which guild has the bigger epeen doesn't bother me. Personal attacks and insults though are just unacceptable. You wouldnt walk up to someone in a street and say some of the things that get said on here - so why do you think it is OK to do it on here?
Again, the anonymity of the net has a lot to answer for here. You can come on the net, and troll and flame, and feel big an powerful and like people actually listen to you. When in all fairness, your just making yourself look like a bit of a prick. (im not talking about you by the way, just the morons in general).
Anyway, enough rant/ramble.
A lot of peoples first 'road' into a game is to visit the forums. See what happening, what the activity levels are like, how mature the playerbase is, amongst other things. To put it bluntly (no offense meant here BH), but with the level of trolling flaming going on lately - these forums just make the game look very unattractive.
Thats my 12 cents - and it comes form someone who puts up with a lot of 'crap' form people hiding behind keyboards, acting the big man.
