I hate to tell you this, but while you are trying to do a noble thing and discuss the ramifications of a single community member’s actions, as well as try to instill faith in IG towards us, in the end this does nothing but further draw attention to the individual and their actions and acknowledges them and what they did.
I’m pretty sure IG knows who this community is as a whole, and knows we supported them through a very rough season 2, where they received a much harsher reception from a lot of people who may not have been pleased with every little detail because their character wasn’t pitch perfect from what they remember, or just trolls in general. There were many unbelievers out there who didn’t think the game could survive a transition in developer and with good reason. Iron Galaxy knows who their audience is, how critical they are, and who actually loves and supports this game, enough to even crowd fund extra content.
I don’t believe they would be so petty as to let the actions of one person affect their judgement of this community as a whole. They know we care, and also know from past experience that you are bound to have some like this who don’t play fair.
What this constant thread opening and discussion of these events isn’t showing our support for IG, it’s drawing attention to this person’s actions and giving his empty words credence.
If you truly care about IG and the community, do this instead:
Instead of tempting @rukizzel @TempusChaoti @CStyles45 , and the other community leader’s patience by giving them endless threads about the incident to close, how about we do what we’ve been doing all along, hyping season 3 and discussing what we look forward to the most, without paying any credit to empty unfounded rumors.
What do we know: Arbiter, Tusk, Kim Wu, Rash, 3 stages, 1 stage ultra, new mechanics, an awesome new interface is in the works with the purple and green color and they keep showing us a placeholder every time they stream and its killing me as to what it is, new lighting, and a whole new PC community chapter to play against. I’d say between everything they have shown us, there is plenty to discuss to avoid giving credit to these rumors.
So let’s enjoy what’s coming, and as tempting as it is, let’s not try and peak at the presents Santa is bringing when Season 3 launches, have faith, and believe. Talking about it with thousands of threads WILL NOT help anything. I’m sure IG knows the true fans, US, we care about this game, and they aren’t going to hold us as a whole accountable for the actions of an individual. Let’s stop making topics we know are just going to end up getting locked.
