It pretty much just gave you access to a subreddit where other members with gold could chat. The chatroom was dead, nothing of interest ever happened there.
I’m not sure if this is just me, but it drives me nuts when I see someone answer a question (for example in the questions section on an amazon product page) to just say that they don’t know or they give an unrelated answer....
Yep exactly. It also doesn't make a damned bit of difference that you've worded it so clearly a lawyer could cry, and made them agree to a simple acknowledgement.
Bruh I'm just trying to scroll through interesting posts and interact with people worth having a discussion with. If you get off putting people in their place all day then feel free to sort by lowest score or whatever mechanism eventually appears.
If you want to change someone's mind you aren't going to do it by putting them on the spot and belittling them for it. That just backs a person into the corner and makes them double down. The whole "I'd rather be Russian than Democrat" is perfect example of this.
If you want to make them change their ways then just ignore their desperate pleas for attention. Kids don't earn the right to sit at the grown up table by acting like kids, but eventually they mature and learn nuance and that earns them a seat.
If you think using big words and calling people childish names is making a coherent argument then there's really nothing to be done here...
I didn't say I didn't want to contribute willingly, I said I didn't want to spend my time engaging trolls and unsavory individuals. I'd rather they fade into obscurity and get on about my day.
Go ahead and reread it if you need proof, it's all up there.

I bring this up because it seems to once again be gaining traction in the zeitgeist: I cannot comprehend why UFO hunters put so much time and effort into trying to force governments to "reveal the truth about extraterrestrial contact", but I also cannot fathom how they think aliens even have a chance of successfully contacting...
Just remember that because the face you see is always smiling doesn't mean they truly enjoy their life. For all you know they're so burned out and miserable, over the stress, and would kill to go back to a less stressful life.
We all have a tendency to see the grass as greener on the other side.

Yep same. I was kinda excited about the PvE aspect, and hoped I could adapt to the new pvp. Instead I find I miss the two-tank dynamic of OW1, and the pace of fighting in OW2 just feels like it's missing something. I tried for a couple of days, but it just felt soulless and grindy and I ended up uninstalling. I had 5-figure hours in OW1, I just want the good game back...
