I intentionally put a very provocative and salty post up to stimulate more replies and conversation about quitting. It now has 250+ responses. I then put a more constructive and thoughtful post on a similar topic and received 22 replies.
It seems if you are not “salty” or complaining about something, there aren’t as many responses.
Why is this apparently so? Are constructive posts being ignored?
Post your observations on this and maybe why.
People like to complain more I guess. I have noticed the same thing with a lot of threads.
People loves negative thread on the net for some reason lol
Because the first thing you posted was confrontational and i and others think you are dead wrong on it
the more constructive one i read it and there was nothing me posting could add to it
if you say something that a lot of people disagree with they ill tell you why your wrong but say something they agree with your left with nothing to add
You don’t take the claims of wanting constructive criticism on this forum seriously, do you? The people who say they want that aren’t even serious about it.

I’d go more with the fact that the feeling you get when you’re angry is similar to the feeling you get when on -Yoink!-. In other words, people are literally addicted to outrage. “-Yoink- these dook spawns!” is more exciting than “Eh, wadda bout da spawning? Could be betta.”
I like cheeseburgers. See how boring that is? Folks love drama.
People like an argument, a challenge, a chance to prove someone they’re wrong.
Can’t blame em it does feel good.
Constructive posts seem to get less focus as far as I can tell because usually they are less interesting and usually most people agree with the statement, so replies are mostly going to be I agree… BORING.
It all depends on how people feel about a topic, and which thread appears first. The “Not Everybody Hates You, 343” thread has a positive idea, and it was up there. People love to debate, and the more “controversial” topics get the most replies.
Make a negative thread and people come to argue. Make a positive thread and people either A) say “he’s entitled to his opinion” or B) make it negative.
Yes, obviously lol.
All complainers should use the Lord of the Fries skin
…“so much salt”…
I really enjoy Halo 5 and those who conplain should try and find a game better for them.

Unfortunately, in my experience yes.
Yeah they do…
People gravitate towards drama.
Your other thread doesn’t really have that much content. The opening post is just four sentences. That could be biasing the results.
I will say there’s a lot of times where I’ll make a -Yoink- post in a random thread and get buried in likes. Then I’ll make an actually thought out post in the same thread and it will go largely ignored.

It has to do with interest and passion. If you care about a topic you are more likely to read the thread and post, than if you don’t. Personally, I also find that I read some threads and find I have nothing to add and so posting would be pointless.

And those of us enjoying the game generally just play the game despite its flaws and get on with life…
Some people need a reminder that games are just a pastime, for the most part. If you’re not enjoying it, take a break to clear your head, or find another game or hobby to participate in. Expecting games to fulfil some kind of human need - possibly to avoid dealing with real world problems or insecurities, and then getting fired up when your expectations aren’t met isn’t healthy.
