I havent been here that long, but already Im beggining to be able to pinpoint the different types of 'Common Players'. We all are entitled to our own opinions, but alot of people here fail to understand that they are dealing with real human beings behind those avatars.
Here is my classification of the the Common Players here in the forums:
1) The Good Poster Everyone wants to be this person, and in everyones own eyes, they are one. But what really is a good poster? Well a good poster is one who is here for one of two reasons. Number one would be of course to recieve help from other players. Similarily, number two would be to use his/her knowledge to help other players with their problems. The good poster usually doesnt take notice of the Forum Levels, though they do want to get it high but dont spam to do so.
2) The Complainer The title of this type of forum user is obvious. They find every little thing to complain about. For example, on the SECOND day the leveling system came out, they complained about how no one was able to use the Lottery. They use the obvious to attempt to back up their arguements. They also find everything 'wrong' with the game. Unlike the average good poster, the complainer usually posts up useless suggestions that they use to vent their fustration about a certain topic
3) The Spammer Yes, the spammer who we are all familiar with. This person is usually of the younger immature age and uses spam for one of two reasons: 1) The obvious now would be to gain the forum levels which some have done already 2) Attention seaking, they usually cannot recieve the attention they want and so in a desperate attempt , they spam the forums to grab the attention of other players and in some cases authority (mods).
There are most likely more different types of catagorization, but these are the biggest Ive found in my short time here.
So think to yourself, which catagory do YOU fall under. If its the good poster, I say to you: "Keep up the good work"
If you find your a complainer and this thread has opened your eyes to that fact, to you I say: "This is not your game, you most likely cant do better so leave it as it is; and if you find something wrong, then suggested CONSTRUCTIVELY"
Finally to the spammer I would like to say: "Stop what your doing, its a waste of time. The attention your attempting to get from people wont last very long as it is not very fulfilling. So please stop wasting your time and the time of others"
Thank you all for reading
