And you know this how? Have you surveyed the entire player base? No you haven't, you're just making this shit up. I'll agree that a forum poll isn't completely reliable, but it's far more accurate that the random shit you're spewing. Make no mistake, you do not know what the entire player base thinks. You're just writing your own opinion and acting like you know the hearts and minds of everyone who plays on Homecoming. I'll agree that someone here sounds a bit delusional.

What's worse is that when, a couple of years ago, there was a forum poll about knockback and it turned out that the majority actually liked knockback. But the knockback haters still continue to post "The majority of people hate knockback." Even though that's been repeatedly proven to be false.

I have to admit. I don't understand what the OP means by "balance" in this context. While he did write this: But I don't understand how any of his bulletin points will accomplish this. The fact is that the only way to complete most missions is to defeat enemies, and the only thing that defeats enemies is damage. No amount of lowering a character's damage output will change that. All it accomplishes is reducing options and increasing mission completion times.

Please remember that this person does not speak English, and that they are using a program to translate. And worse, we have no idea how accurate that translation actually is.

Not in the US, no. There's certainly nothing illegal, or unethical, about customer privacy. I'm honestly not certain why this is even a question.

The City of Heroes RETAIL team had the rule that "we don't discuss moderator actions." And the City of Heroes HOMECOMING team has decided to follow that same standard. But that's not the only acceptable standard. I'll give you an example: Shortly after Guild Wars 2 launched a person started complaining on social media (maybe Reddit, I forget) that the GW2 team had banned them for no reason at all, and that they were horrible people, etc., etc. Gail (the head of the of the mod team at the time) responded showing screenshots of things he'd said in game that showed him saying ridiculous racist stuff in general chat. This had the effect of not only letting people know that that kind of behavior wouldn't be tolerated, but it also gave people confidence that the mod team was actually responding to reports like this which kept a lot of people from doing those things in the first place. Another example: whenever I play Rainbow Six Siege I constantly see messages pop up like: "Battleye just banned XxXwackynameXxX." Now I don't know much about how moderation works for Siege, but you know what I do know? I know that if I make a dumb name, or say something dumb in chat, I'm gonna get banned, so I don't do any of those things. So there is a legitimate reason to show players at least some of the results of moderator actions, if not all of the details. The Homecoming team has chosen not to do that, and that's fine, but just so people understand there are other legal and acceptable ways to deal with moderation.

Reviewers who I typically agree with have said it's probably the best Fantastic Four movie yet. I'm thinking of actually going to see it.

Rest in peace @Shenanigunner ! Until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Rest in peace, Prince of Darkness. See you on the Other Side.

You do realize that all of the moderators, Homecoming devs, and former devs, have normal forum accounts, right? And I don't mean their official dev accounts, I'm talking about their original, normal player, accounts. So at least some of the people who post stuff detailing what the devs can and cannot do literally are Homecoming devs, or former devs, on their normal accounts. You do understand that, right? And since you don't know who they are it makes no sense for you to complain that players shouldn't be posting about stuff they don't know about when some of them actually do. 😁

Yes, people are tired of seeing this thread at the top of the "All Activity" list. And, since they don't have the self-control necessary to just not click on a thread that they're tired of, they all start posting "Ok, it's over, shut it down." And yes, it is hypocritical when people post that they're going to disagree with your posts whether you like it or not and then they turn around and demand that the thread be shut down, but it's been standard procedure since this forum first opened. Like I said, most of you want so desperately to control what other people are allowed to say and how they're allowed to say it. Maybe you all should apply to be moderators. In the meantime, I'm going to continue to disagree with suggestions that I disagree with, and yes I am being excellent to everyone. Now I'm going to go party on.

Is that why you keep participating?

So the last week on the forum has seemed a little odd to me. First we had a thread where someone was claiming that we shouldn't be allowed to just react to a post that we should be required to actually post a response and say something. Then we had a thread where someone else proposed a list of restrictions on what we should post if we do respond. While both of those posts are contradictory, they both have one thing in common. Advocating for further restrictions on what/how we're allowed to post on this forum. So I guess my question is: Why do you so many of you want so desperately to control what others are allowed to say, or how they're allowed to say it?

I don't have an example of one of my suggestions being implemented in game, but I do have an example of a suggestion thread that I made where people didn't disagree with the suggestion I was making, some people even added stuff and improved upon my suggestion. It's time to develop the Shadow Shard Zones! So I'd like to submit that if you're unhappy that suggestions you like are not being wholeheartedly agreed with that you consider the possibility that they're just bad suggestions.

Yes. The unresolved issue is that people now days are immature, and they get shocked and horrified when people disagree with something they are saying. Too many decades of tone policing and participation trophies have lead to a generation of people who are so soft that they literally can't stand it when people don't slavishly agree with whatever nonsense falls out of their pie-hole.
