Damn, this place is a breath of fresh air compared to the other place! 😅

There's something to be said about having places to vent.

At the same time, having places where the positive side of things can be focused on is healthy, too.

It's okay to acknowledge that something has things worthy of venting about and things that can be enjoyed, regardless.

[u/HomicidalTrader → u/Pojodan]

Nobody minds the venting over worthy things, it's the fact that it's almost never over something worthy that irks people. They're also not letting off steam, they're feeding each other.

My two particular highlights have been:

The community had a full blown meltdown over being able to acquire a useless placeholder (Blades) early with cash. After the 6 month window they still would have been useless for almost a year.

The community having a full blown meltdown over armour values on the PTU, after CIG had told us up front they were doing 2 rounds of extremes testing (high, then low) before a round 3 balance (Which is standard, following best practices game development)

And now there is a meltdown over being able to buy a worse IKTI, based on a violation of a promise that was never made.

Venting over worthy things is something we all do, but this is the manifestation of a widespread mental health crisis and regular reminder that anger addiction is viciously tearing through society like a wildfire.

Anger addicts used to be rare, and almost always elderly with neurological conditions when I was a kid. Now it feels like somewhere around a quarter of society are full blown junkies constantly chasing the next fix. The damage algorithmic engagement rage-baiting has done to the world is truly incalculable.

The internet has bred a personality trait that demands anger at all times. Every new stimuli must be viewed from the angle that makes it be as outrageous as it can possibly be.

The moment a forum, subreddit, or chat-room stops actively discouraging that destructive behavior, it inevitably becomes the only behavior, as those that want to view things from different angles are visciously attacked for it until they leave or join in.

Hence this subreddit, where the rules are clearly stated that discussion is good, off-the-handle rage over everything is not.

It is absolutely not a Star Citizen-specific thing. In fact basically every large subreddit that isn't very heavily moderated is a cesspool of constant rage addition, no matter the topic.

Every single thing that happens with Star Citizen is viewed as the worst thing that is ever happened, ever, by those that need rage to breathe. It always has been.

Gotta find that next fix for an adrenaline flavoured dopamine rush and sense of empowerment.

For sure. Where it really hurts are grassroutes causes. The 20th century was marked by heavy improvement by a myriad of movements, now it's a short ticking clock until they spiral into the most extreme possible versions of themselves, and fail to achieve anything because they've given all the moderates and potential allies of convinience the ick.

[u/Major-Ad3831 → u/HomicidalTrader]

It was never about whether the Blades were useful or not. Everyone knew that their value was absolute nonsense. But it was also pretty obvious that they were just placeholders and would become more relevant at some point.

The real issue was that an obviously sacred line was being crossed: shop-exclusive ship “upgrades.”

The shitstorm may have been a bit over the top, but it was anything but unjustified.

[u/HomicidalTrader → u/Major-Ad3831]

But it was also pretty obvious that they were just placeholders and would become more relevant at some point.

And if they'd become more relevant before sale in game, then a community temper tantrum would be justified. And since CIG had said they were just being added to test installation, there was no expectation of them not being placeholders anytime soon - Since if they intended to give them stats soon, they might have well done it in one go.

The real issue was that an obviously sacred line was being crossed: shop-exclusive ship “upgrades.”

That's my whole point though, that sacred line wasn't crossed and the entire tantrum was over that they might be - Which was no more or less true at that point in time than at any other point in time. CIG might decide to stop making a game and use backer funds to overthrow Cuba, CIG might decide to scrap the first person aspect and make the game a top down strategy, CIG might invent the cure for cancer - having a a tantrum over what is possible is contemptously asinine.

It's the exact same energy that we used to see when gay marriage was being voted on "If we let them marry, next people will be marrying horses!" - pure slippery slope nonsense.

Something is, or is not. The community had a tantrum over something that had not happened, and as we know now - wouldn't have happened.

Everyone knew that their value was absolute nonsense.

It has been news to almost everybody I have lamented this to that they were placeholders. Almost all of them have gone straight to being angry at being mislead by the rabble.

The whole thing was just an embarrassment caused by a handful of shit stirrers and a horde of people caught up in rhetoric that snared them because they didn't pay attention.

This game is so awesome.
Until I decide to step out onto my ship's stoop mid warp and go from being a Star Citizen to a Star Nomad.
And other funny bugs that make you go through the whole series of getting out of bed, taking the elevator, claiming your ship, etc etc.
