Would you still buy after reading how toxic all of the posts and replies are?  Forget how blatantly obvious the troll elments are in all of them.  Forget that it's largely the same group of people posting the same anti-game rhetoric.  If I hadn't already owned the game and came here first in hopes of gaining some perspective to help make that decision I'd sadly have to say that I would never buy it.  If even 1 in 10 of the people posting here actually play the game, there's no way in hell I'd want to risk playing alongside them.  Not without putting on a diaper and sucking my thumb so I could fit in with them anyway.  
 
Carbine, clean this shit up.  Seriously, I'd rather see an over-moderated forum with helpful posts than one that entitles every asshat on the planet to *cupcake* and moan about a game they most likely haven't even touched since beta.  Or who complain about the very things they ask you for as soon as you implement them.  
 
As for the trolls; shame on you.  The genre is already suffering enough without you helping to kill it by making impossible demands and, most importantly, burning yourself out on a title a month after release by playing the shit out of it and then complaining about lack of raid attuned players.  It's Carbine's fault that there aren't a million other people out there with copious amounts of free time, no family, no job and no responsibilities to make end-game instantly viable for you, I suppose.

			I have been considering ranting about this as well. In fact I am just now starting to post on the forums, because I want more level headed people talking about the actuality of the game. I am over these trolls who honestly make me sad to read the forums as they are blowing things way out of proportion. Luckily the in game community is by and large a fun group. Maybe the forum warriors will start running out of CRED soon and take their toxicity back to whatever bridges they crawled out from under.

We could just delete negative people.
 
Or is that going to far?

			I'm suggesting they remove any that are blatat trolling.  You know, the ones submitted by people who, when you click on their profile and then posts, there are 57 that are all just negative anti-WS posts.  Or the ones that are centered around a "the games dead" or "time to uninstall" or any other such bullshit that is obviously posted for no other reason than to be a WS hating dickhead.  Probably 90% of the posts on the board.

Is PR-suicide.
Chua think no sane company do such thing and not take slander for it.

So they'd take slander for removing slander?  Tough choice...

Raging teenager on forum is not slander, or any other place.
Reputed journalists writing about censorship on website is slander.

That suggests raging teenagers can rage to journalists and have journalists take them seriously.  Regardless, these are the loosest MMO forums I have ever seen.  And have been since launch.  How many people do you think are NOT playing because they didn't want to get caught up in some "hardcore" crowd playing another game impossibly difficult to master and full of bugs, attunement walls, and shitheads that aren't fun to play with.  That's what you'd expect from the game based on the forum posts of the last three months.

If you are considering buying, might as well buy it.
No one can make your opinion for you, and if curiosity is peaking might as well sate it.
 
There is a lot of negativity, but most of it is coming from people like me (higher level experiencing the bummed state)
Someone just beginning will experience things differently, and the time is set you you actually reach end game it'll probably be updated by the drops.
 
So in all honesty I can not tell you to stay away, because things are subject to change when you do reach the end.
BUT currently right now, some of us at end level are sitting angry as hell waiting for the devs post a drop.
 
Some people are enjoying the endgame now, I have no clue how they are doing it... or even if they are being honest about it.
For all I know they could be logging in to gather resources on their plots and logging off.
 
Whatever, play the game, judge for yourself.

There should always be room for negativity, but some people on this forum goes to a very extreme to prove how bad the game is. 
Some people say it's extremely bugged game, but in the 1000+ hours I've put into the game, I have yet to encounter any gamebreaking bugs or many bugs at that. 
That is not to say I haven't faced bugs, but some people are so damn sensitive whenever they find one.

			What i dont understand is why there are people who quit the game that still hang around these forums and tell everyone how much the game sucks? :pIf you didnt like it and quit, good for you. The ones of us who do like it however would very much not want to hear your bullshit :DAs for an answer to OP. I did start the game almost 4 weeks ago now, almost right after Drop 2 and the forums were... lets just say they werent the most positive. I did however download the game and used my 7 day free trial i got from my brother. And i found that the game is awesome. I looked at some dungeon videos, some raid videos and well... i was amazed with how complex even the first dungeons at max level were.I also found out that there are C.R.E.D.D that i can buy for in-game money and play the game for free, which i thought was cool. So i decided to pay the one time box-price for the game to try it out for a month and buy myself some C.R.E.D.D for the money i farmed in game if i enjoyed it for more than a month and well... here i am. Already purchased CREDD for 2 months to come because i dont see myself changing games any time soon.

To be fair, would be "nice" if the same sort of "filtering" could go both ways.  There are some that cheer aspects of the game, while they're bugged, while they're broken, or while they're grindy... acting like it's the best thing since sliced bread and/or like this is the very first invention of an MMORPG... can be seen as equivalently annoying in terms of those, afformentioned, that quit and hang around just to let everybody know how unhappy with the game they are.
 
I mean seriously, every time I read something (summed up) that states, "this game is linear, doesn't have much content and very few options outside of raiding, and that's awesome"... it again leaves me to wonder if they've played the game at all since beta, if at all... to be fair.
 
Also, while at it, be nice if there was some "filtering" for those that would claim there aren't actually any problems whatsoever when others point out bugs/glitches they come across... I mean think about it... if people REALLY wanted the game to fail, they wouldn't be pointing out the bugs/glitches, they'd just let it stay broken and get worse... they point it out so it can be fixed and addressed... and several support-tickets are actually saying to come post about it on the forums.
 
Another "filtering" that might be nice is to cut out all the quick snap-replies that certain suggestions/ideas are "instantly stupid" and disregarded before even being humored for even a few before dismissal.  (Especially since it's been seen that some ideas when made by players are called "dumb", then when a similar, if not exact, idea comes from the devs and happens, it's praised as "cool".)
 
I mean honestly, what's being suggested is, people that like the game shouldn't be criticized... which is true, all good, and fine/dandy -- but in that same token, people will have issues with the game, people have spent money on the game, invested in the game, and expected certain things of the game... everybody has a right to their own opinion, even if it's not 150% super-satisfied and cheering Wildstar from the roof-tops.  Missus and I sunk $150 into Wildstar way before it released for pre-order copies (which doesn't exactly grow on trees for us, nowhere near it, that's a hefty chunk where we're from)... and we're not exactly jumping up and down about the state of the game, the shape it's in, what it brought to the table, or that it doesn't completely live up to the impression many had about the game from the dev-speaks all the way to the earliest launch/dev-announcements when it was first announced by the name of Wildstar.  When people have an issue with the game, run into an error, have game-breaking bugs, or are generally dissatisfied with the purchase they made... they should be afforded the same rights you're asking for, to be able to voice their discomfort/unhappiness with the product... without having whole threads made about them simply to ridicule them and wraggle fingers at them.
 
PS - For the record, yes, missus and I do still have active accounts, and yes, we do log in daily... my last boom-box (today/10th/pre-midnight) was one of those 3-bulb flower deals that curve inward to the base. :P

We actually usually buy two boxes (and two timecards for MMOs) every time we want to try a new game in our household (in the past we would buy 3, that was even harder) and naturally some consideration does go into what we choose. That includes reading the forums of all the games that interest us (MMO or otherwise).
 
While reading -any- forums, sometimes it is hard to seperate the posters who are truthful and honest from the ones who just want to cause harm (for whatever reason) and sadly this can affect the growth of a game.
 
Personally I think that creating a positive vibe in the forums is actually a form of advertising of the product and should be treated as such.	
----
			So OP tries to tell us to not get the game because he gets trolled on the forums? Linking the games quality with a minority on a website makes perfect sense.	
----
			
This is something that happens on every game forums for every online game.
 
Not many of the players read the forums compared to the small vocal minority that does so.
 
Recommendation that thread be locked due to age old argument and potential troll war kerfuffle. :P	
----
			
Hey everyone,Since threads like this always turn into the very thing they decry (and almost always sooner rather than later), I'm going to lock this thread. We appreciate feedback, but really discourage threads about threads.
 
If you see something that violates the forum Code of Conduct, please report it and get back to discussing the game.
 
Thanks,Team WildStar
