     I got this in a PM on the forums (never posted anything, they must have just sent it to everyone they saw logged in)
     

    ...



     

    Just for clarification for everyone.

    Was the PM from the official DarkFall boards, or here on mmorpg.com?

    The way I read it - it came from the Official DarkFall forums - NOT here.  I could be wrong though.

     

    Edit: If I am correct on where the PM came from... then wouldn't it make more sense to create this post there, rather than here?

    Official Darkfall boards, and I'm posting it here so you can see, the trolls aren't just an illusion, it's not "he's calling out everyone that disagrees with him!" It's a real issue, and they've been plauging this game since 2006, for what reason I can't understand even a little. You think an indie game doing more than most MMOs even attempt would get SUPPORT, not these freaks.

     

    Also, once again, I'm not a board moderator, thanks come again ;) this is why I have absolutely no respect for certain people among you, because you never listen, no matter how many times I have to tell you. 

    So then you've posted this same thread on the Official boards too... right?

     

    Seems like it would be much more beneficial to point out the trolls where they live rather than show evidence of them to their neighbors, so to speak.

    At the very least it would make sense to post it both places.  Otherwise, it just smacks of trolling the mmorpg.com forums. 

     

    Kinda hard to convince us here of all the trolling here when your "evidence" comes from the Official boards.  We all agree the Official boards are really bad.  You don't have to convince us of that. 



     

    And that's why he's trolling.

    He's not asking a question.  He's just trying to spread the perception that people just troll the official forums.  Kind of like the impression that some of the fanatics, and Tasos himself, have tried to spread that the everyone that posts criticism on the official forums doesn't even play the game. 

    They want people to believe that those who actually play the game are happy with it and have nothing negetive to say.

    I don't know what signus is getting at about not having posted anything.  He posts on the official boards.

    Why would anyone need to put such effort into spreading perception that the game is great?  If everything is fine, and people are playing it would speak for itself.

    Oh no, the people who play this game are incredibly critical about it. I talk to them about it in IRC a lot. Someone will be ranting and raving about it, and someone will ask "well, are you still paying for it?" "Yeah, it's a good game with a lot of potential but x/y psses me off!" Then someone else will jump in, and a conversation will get started suggesting alternatives to the current system, they get put in the suggestion forum.

     

    Trolls on the other hand, send messages like I included in my first post, and leave it at that. No constructive criticism, no examples of what make them made, just random hatred and mindless blather. This helps no one, and the people that do this, by and large, have never played the game. They make accounts purely to troll, then make new accounts until they get IP banned. 

     

    The people on THESE forums, for the most part, seem indifferent. However, there are a dozen or two dozen different people who I think dedicate their time to trolling every single Darkfall thread. I haven't seen more than a few legitimate posts in this entire thread, much less the others. Whenever someone tries to discuss Darkfall, the troll cavalry rolls in. Hence I am asking, WHY? 

    That still doesn't address the reason why you think this thread was more appropriate here rather than on the forums where the PM originated.

     

     

    Do you think that posting it here will generate a more engaging and mature dialogue?  Why is that?

     

    Again, until you can speak to the reason why you thought this thread would be more beneficial here than posting it on the forums where the PM originated from... the vast majority are just going to think you are trying to troll this forum.

    I'm asking for outside opinion, I think that'd be fairly obvious, and since there are a great many trolls here, might as well ask them at the source.

    "Darkfall is a steaming pile of shit in almost every single area possible. It has the production quality of a game like Dark and Light....
    Not to mention Aventurine has the business sense and common sense of a bunch of monkies.
    The game is dying and losing subs so fast that in total desperation they're releasing this lame little patch (completely untested) and calling it an "expansion" to try and save the sinking ship.... but it won't work.
    Anyone who actually pays $50 and $15 a month for this ALPHA that will be dead and cancelled before the end of the year is a total jackass."
     
    These type of people were bombarding the servers yesterday during the launch of the free expansion. The forums were clogged with these idiots. Why would someone do this? What is the motivation? Is he just some former vaportroll moron who can't handle the fact that Darkfall launched and is doing alright for itself? What?



     

    I see your up to calling people names again Mr. Fascist Forumfall moderater. If you dont want ppl to criticise  ( with legitimate concerns) your game  then go back to the Hello Kitty everything is good and chocolatly Forumfall. 

     Why would someone do this? Beacause some ppl have disliked aspects of the game and have brought up legit concerns and ppl like you lurk to flame them without basis.

    Thank goodness ppl can bring thier concerns about a game whether we like them or not to this forum.

    Oh and by the way Mr SignusM.....I was gonna try out this game, but after your flame posts yesterday I will never play this game. I agree some ppl are to critical of the game but your responses dont help matters. Do the world and Darkfall a favor  and stop insulting possible customers or return customers. You cant afford to lose any subs.

    I doubt anything I did or said caused you not to play the game. If you can't handle one person forwarding some message they got from a troll, then you  never were really interested in the game anyway. 

     

    I'm not a forum mod, kthx. 

    And I didn't post ANYTHING yesterday that wasn't true.

     

    And lastly, mull this over a bit. Legitimate concerns? Did you see any concerns there? No, it was mindless blather drooling from the letter. There was no mention at all to any specific issues at all just a general "it sucks you suck, suck a dick!"It could basically have been copied and pasted to ANY game and been just as relevant. 

     

    There is no sane reason for someone to make 5 accounts, spam porn all over a message board, and send PMs to all people logged in with this attached. THAT, is true troll, that is NOT "legtimate concerns" or whatever BS you want to hide behind instead of facing up that there are some sad people out there. 



     

    You are so very very wrong. All you did yesterday was insult / flame other people and thier opinions and unfortunately continue to do so.. The second you did this you lost all credibity. You are the one that is truly sad.

    Some people do have legitimate concerns over various aspects of Darkfall and its business practices. You just refuse to see them.  I agree that base insults solves nothing.What you need to understand is that not everyone is gonna like your game.  I didnt flame the game yesterday, but you chose to read it that way. 

    I was was gonna play and try the game out when the NA server launched. I hope the DF community isnt full of ppl like you.

    BTW in the Thread Long overdue I told you so,  someone pointed out that you are a Forumfall moderater. If you arent thank God.

    And yet, they are NOT the source of the originating PM troll? 

     

    Hmm...

     

    So, why would you value the opinion of an outside source that by your own admission is rife with trolls over the Official boards?

     

    Wouldn't the source of the offending PM be a better place to start your crusade?

    He's the Darkfall IRC moderator.  He'd like to split hairs, but in the end he's a moderator for DFO.  A volunteer for Av.

    A representative of the DFO community.

     

    Who's trolling these boards to spread an impression about the DFO forums.

    He'd like people to believe that they are full of trolls, when they're, in fact, full of disgruntled consumers who purchased a product they aren't happy with.

    He probably got banned from the official forums.... for trolling. 

    Just messing around....

    I will agree, can't see the point to send random flame tells to people regarding their choice of game.  I get them here from time to time and wonder what I ever did to upset someone so much over discussions about games.
