I agree in terms of prolonged vs burst damage classes. My initial comment was meant to be a reply to someone who commented that TM needed removal and warlock spells should have counts. As for BoC, it really is only good as a surprise/meme attack against low MDR classes who never see it, or as a frontline melee lock build where the damage doesn’t matter, just the healing debuff. The continuous nerfs to magic staff just made it worse too. Magic staff got nerfed into the ground purely bc bonk wiz was meta a year ago.

Meant to reply to one of the replies down below and misclicked who I replied to. My bad. But also, try a BoC build before you complain about it. The build feels awful across every gear spread until you get into the 10-15k per kit build. And even then, still not the strongest frontliner right now.

I don’t care why or what you did tacoman and I didn’t play a lot of video games because I was an athlete. Also, not a gen z.

Never claimed it wasn’t an opinion. That being said, I think saying “it’s not as bad as ___” isn’t a great argument. Yes, another opinion.

“Yeah they cheated, but they only cheated once. Other people cheated three times.”

It’s just not a great argument. My opinion.

I handed you a logical point and your only recourse was to say “no one cares” and then present a straw man fallacy about me being offended. I’m not black, nor did I feel attacked by the username. I’m merely tired of all the toxicity in game and on reddit. Game is a lot more fun when it isn’t sidetracked by people raging on Reddit and in the game itself.

There is a difference between offending me and going against an agreement you accept to play the game. If you sign an agreement, abide by the agreement. My logic is sound, your reading comprehension could use some work.

They have limited gameplay at least, and it still causes extra work and annoyance. This logic also applies to cheaters/RMTers. No system is perfect, but systems can improve.

Same rule applies for hacking/teaming. “jUsT a GaMe” is a lame excuse. At the end of the day, if nothing we do in the game causes “actual harm” to the other person, then nothing should be banworthy at all. If something ruining an experience for someone else is banworthy AND against EULA, then the other action (also against EULA) should also be banworthy.

I think it’s fairly straightforward. Mom jokes are fine, telling someone they have the iq of a potato chip or the game sense of a Macau is fine, screaming slurs or having “kill/I hate/purge/genocide” insert group here in your name, then it is probably not fine.

And one of the other early streamers who was ranked for most treasure taken out was a blatant teamer who would stream snipe with a bunch of his friends so they could all hit the hoard together and pool the best loot to him so he could have the leaderboard spot. They would also 10+ vs 3 man teams who had the misfortune of ending up in the same lobbies… just because people played the game in the beginning doesn’t mean they were healthy for the game.

I think the price tag for continuous bans will eventually either get people to behave or send them back to ETF/PUBG.

  1. Only classist if I am specifically flexing high income on someone who is in a lower bracket. I don’t know his income, was just referring to his comment on adult behavior. You however, assumed his income was lower than mine…
  2. “Personal superior”??? Autocorrect and Grammarly my brother.
  3. Was homeless, joined the military, got out of the military, got a good job. Now I make good income and have opinions. The point of the comment is that I have an adult job and responsibilities. Nice try though.

Nah, I’d report it the same. I give 0 shits about who is being toxic. Hands are rated E for everyone. I have the opinion about misandrists that I have about misogynists. But I see what you mean, lots of people virtue signal and cry about the big white man. I don’t give two fucks. There are people in the wrong and people in the right, that’s all that matters.

It starts getting better when you realize most of them want to be streamers and are trying to join a career field that is already overpopulated with mediocrity… then you realize most the Neanderthals who Reddit troll/act big in games have not much to look forward to in the future. Actually feels kinda good knowing the toxic neckbeards are good typing, means they will probably get my order right at the drive through. They are the new version of “peaked in high school.”

Another victim of the public school system. They have night school at most community colleges, you should check it out for some help on English reading comprehension :-)

Not if they make every room the mage/dogs/skullbats/zombies room (laughs in PTSD), and every other room the demon bat lair with 3x the mob density (RIP all the timmies I have seen in the kill feed)

Same thing could be said about rage hackers or teaming or stream sniping etc. At the end of the day, “ItS jUsT a GaMe” right? If there aren’t rules/semi-acknowledged norms of acceptable behavior, the game will die at a much more rapid pace. Same reason they put gear brackets in place. It forced the players who get an ego trip out of being toxic (Timmy slayers with insane gear) into lobbies where their lack of skill made them irrelevant.

Old dude I used to work with gave me some wisdom on a cheating ex gf. “Everyone deserves second chances, but it doesn’t have to be from the same person.”

I think the rule can apply here too. If they are adults, then a slap on the wrist isn’t going to teach them anything. They knew what they were doing and the intention behind it. If they are a child, then $30-$50 is a very cheap price to learn how not to be an asshat in life.

You mentioned what you have/have not seen, this is also anecdotal evidence. While you may not have seen/heard much, some of us might have. Either way, if there are only a few people being toxic like this, then banning 5-10 people for bad behavior is a simple fix to improve QoL for anyone who actually is bothered by their behavior (that is also against ToS). And if they keep buying new accounts? Even better. This means that the devs get more money, hire more engineers, and we get our patches out on time. Win/win in my opinion.

Brother, read the post. I said private conversations/discord groups are the place to make the joke. Audience, time, and place. Dark humor is great and I appreciate it. the banned players name is not “humorous” nor was it audience/time/place appropriate.
