I gave up on the DDO forums a while back. Sometimes I'm tempted to unload some zingers at the forum idiots but then I figure, why bother, I'd just be wasting my time. They're just crying for attention anyway. Too bad they're all Turbine bothers to listen to, when Turbine listens at all. Unfortunately to actually get anything of value out of the forums you really have to look hard for useful information, which means yes, going through a lot of the noise.
Oh you meant in the game. Well, incidentally, within Over Raided we tend to laugh at the stuff the Orien idiots will accuse OR of doing. There's obviously the Desolator variety and the must-have-exploited variety (no joke: recently, one of our members was reported for exploiting for soloing one of the necro quests -- I think it was shadow knight but I'm not sure -- because there's
no way you can solo pull multiple levers at the same time! which we found out because a GM contacted our guildie about it due to the report). But there's also stuff like OR conspiring to make sure other guilds fail raids, trying to break up other guilds or leech their members, or corner the market on some item, etc. Whenever I hear the latest story I always think of this song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OExykL5QnXYThey're pretty funny sometimes, but most of the time it's just kind of sad realizing the depths to which people will go to blame others for their gaming situation, especially the guild leaders
who are the ones who can set the guild's atmosphere in the first place, and I frequently wonder why their members put up with it (and accept their own gaming situation). So I guess sometimes I'll listen for the humor value, but then, as they say, weep for humanity.
You guys don't do any of that stuff? Welldamn. I guess that makes you all pretty cool folks, then.

Desolator. Where did that guy go? I wish he would come back. If only to give Stoddard some company, and to fail Shroud in part 1.

This. And it's been that way since the game started.
Why in the hell is this shit still happening, almost 7 goddamn years later?
There was that one update where they jacked everything around really bad. Sometime around the physics update, I think. You could balance the stuff down to like 30-40%, and then the next time logging in after the update, and there's a nationwide run on ERs everywhere for bleeding ears.
