Q u o t e:
Bashiok came up with the word Cool Story Bro?! Amazing!

Cool Story Bro is a word?! Amazing! ;)

Totally generalizing a cool story bro but why is that when I look at someone's name/realm because they're being oddly mean they're always on the Europe realm? I know plenty of European's and they're cool story bros, so why can't they just be cool stories? Bro.

I still haven't watched any Archer. But I hear good things.

Oh and I haven't had a mustache for a long time now. I shaved it off at some point early-ish April. I am clean shaven. I've been wearing a lot of purple lately, I don't know if that's like a dietary issue, or what.

Who are you frisky? What do you do? How did you come to exist here, and how are you able to grace us with your presence so regularly?

Q u o t e:
im not meanie Bashiok. Its just that ive been around in these forums for a while and i dont like what i see. Many threads, even some regarding serious topics, turn out to be huge jokes by some certain smartasses who just know how to spam well and destroy the meaning of those threads.

Small useless replies, like its a struggle to show off more. If u like this attitude as a mod, fine. ill just w8 for the game to be released

I wouldn't say I'm fine with what you're describing, but what I think actually exists is a culture of regular forum goers more or less knowing all there is to know. When someone comes in and brings up something that's sort of an old topic, maybe not a popular idea, or maybe info that's plainly obvious to the old timers, it's somewhat natural that they aren't going to be invitingly friendly every single time for months and months or years and years. They aren't being paid for customer service.

The real problem is there's not much to discuss, so it's a bunch of cynical people joking around most of the time and then pouncing on the odd, unsuspecting bunny that happens to wander in. So do I reprimand and ban them? The people that are here day-in-day-out and really have a core understanding of not only what we've shown, but probably the overall feeling and direction intended with the game?

I think if you stick around long enough you'll see those same people after a big info release and see their tone change. Or better yet, after release, when their worlds are torn asunder as its flooded with the masses.

It's a small community of hardcore Diablo III forum geeks, and yeah they may troll a bit, but there's just nothing better to do right now, and I think that blame should be on me and the game for not releasing anything new. Or maybe the regulars for not having anything better to do... ;)

Q u o t e:

I have to say Bashiok, considering myself kind of a regular poster, I think mean people are a pretty well distributed demographic. Maybe is some kind of culture tunnel view (for both of us).

Unless you were referring to me especially and in that regard I can be totally biased, being mean without noticing and contributing plenty to your views. XD

I think you're right, it's just something that stuck out to me. Probably no more true than any other generalized conclusions.

And no, you're argumentative and have very specific ideas about how things should be, but that's not rude or mean I would say.
