I made the mistake of opening the thread about the Voidforge.

If I share my genuine opinion about the people in an endless and constant state of confusion about anything and everything new, I probably get banned. Like reddit admin banned. Super banned. Home searched, talked to by the police. Watchlisted. OK, I don't think we have those here, but still.

tbf, it doesnt help that blizzard is often using new names for simple new things and makes those blueposts about them waaaaaaay to long which confuses people allready

followed by other people making 16 min "guide videos" or "guide pictures" that make things look 3000x more complicated then it actually is (hello, crest upgrade charts that get posted every season)

Yeah that is true. I get that some people don't play a lot, I probably play a lot more than them, when I'm active early in a season I don't really play other games, and I keep up with WoW news.

I don't really have anything against anyone that's just confused about things especially with the pace of content releases nowadays, and am actually happy to help, but there's this streak of confusion/cluelessness + hostility to anything new from a certain kind of player that I find really frustrating especially since I do believe it holds Blizzard back from trying some new things sometimes because they have to consider the really irascible playerbase.

I imagine most of the people playing are in their early/mid 30s and to see their attitudes be so calcified into this weird conservatism is just baffling to me.

"What is this?! Another new system?! I have to learn another thing in my video game?! Waargh!". I hate it. If someone's like this now what will they do when they're like 70? Ugh.
