Pair up a 3* Fuzzy Beast and a 2* Boring Beast. 2* Angel/3* Archangel. Etc.

I was under the impression this was an online forum where one comes to share opinions about things related to this game we all seem to like to some varying degree. I wasn't accusing anyone of being a war criminal or trying to have them hauled off to prison. I was engaging in what I perceived to be a friendly debate with someone possessing an opposite but not uneducated stance on this matter.

It was in response to his position that this was just a cute like game that I play on my phone and I don't really care that much but here I am posting about it on the forum all day. I thought it was a cheap card to play, so I called him on it.

You've made it pretty clear, though, that papa07, if he doesn't change his mind, should at least have the decency to STFU for the good of the playerbase, because his comments are "part of the problem," what with him being all "defeatist and sad."

I thought it was pretty clear that he's invested enough in this game (as something fun) to post about it, but not enough to turn his forum commentary into a strategic political campaign to compel the devs to change multiple significant aspects of the game. Similarly, I'm invested enough in certain aspects of this game but I'm not invested enough in other ways to give a s--- about whether or not my forum comments make me an enabler of changes that random forumites personally feel to be "bad."

According to you, I'm simply enabling "shady" actions and pretending that garbage is treasure, because it's clearly impossible for anyone to actually like 2* cover drops. The casual arrogance involved in such idle declarations would be amusing were it satirical.
HailMary wrote: Not only is your core criticism based on a gross overestimation of the influence that all forum comments (much less any one member's comments) have on dev decisions (see: True Healing, Spidey nerf, cover pack probabilities, etc.), but it uses that overestimation to warp "I don't like your opinion" into "your opinion hurts The People, and you're part of the reason stuff is s---ty."
