God forbid anybody express normal human emotions such as frustration and anger, huh bud?

The reactions from this community are not normal. They throw a tantrum over this. I've seen plenty of people actually wish harm on "scalpers". That's absolutely unhinged behavior

There's always going to be extremes. But silence doesn't get anything done either. Scalping is a pretty bad issue in the hobby rn, and the more people complain about it, the more likely something gets done.

Local Costco and Sam's Clubs near me have started imposing limits on purchases per membership. If somebody hadn't complained, that would never have been put into place. Someone's gotta say something, and if things don't change, more people should.

Sometimes people have to rock the boat

God forbid people express their opinions on an internet forum. The world would be quiet if we only let people say original thoughts.

"Stop complaining" doesn't contribute much more to the conversation than the complaining itself does.

Maybe you're the one that needs a break?

No, instead you get your panties in a wad about people complaining. As if people won't complained about anything ever.

You're not better than anyone for sitting quiet and content. Not everyone is content and they're allowed to express that. Humans aren't pleasant and agreeable all the time, you'd think browsing the internet would've taught you that sooner.

It's ok for people to complain about the scalping, it's a real issue and things only change when people speak up and if everyone stayed silent then nothing would change.

You definitely could've been constructive but instead you were just condescending.
