FORUMS_

Generation Xer here (going to be 43 in a couple of months)

Although I am a huge Teddy Bear and never try to directly insult anyone (although yes, I can sometimes be a jerk) I have found that most of the people I get into debates with:

- usually start out confrontational (as they get insulted by my post count, as if it means anything)

- usually end up with them on my friend list

The biggest issue I am finding is (and yeah I am going to sound like my father *shudder*) : People without experience* walk around as if they know everything.  Such is life, and that attitude is echoed in the forums (as well as everywhere).  When you correct someone, they take it as a personal insult and try to challenge it. You do not have to believe everything that is told to you; but you should evaluate it against facts and not "what you think" or "what someone on youtube said".

Remember: Just because you decided to ignore the truth when it was shared with you, in no way means you were lied to

* notice I did not say Young, or Under-educated... as wisdom comes with experience, and not age or institution education levels.

Like you... I like to talk about what can make the game better; how one can gain new ranks faster, perk setups and gun attachments and the like.  I am finding the forums have become riddled with people complaining either about :

- nothing (well, nothing important)

- the same things that are already known

It is a shame, however, that the state of the game has gotten to the point where "everyone" is complaining about are things like: lag, matchmaking etc... leading people to try and circumvent the system by doing funky things to their home networks which can only add to the problem.... not to mention misunderstanding how things work to further confuse the community (as stated above how people think they know everything...)

... maybe people who are in the know should get a capture card and post youtube videos and do commentaries...

I think I babble too much

Sounds like a plan!

"It is a shame, however, that the state of the game has gotten to the point where "everyone" is complaining about are things like: lag, matchmaking etc..."

I'm not saying this issue doesn't exist but it's almost like a fad! Just like calling people 'noobs' or 'campers'. It's seems like people do it for attention or the mere fact that it's a topic heavily discussed. I really don't care much for these fads either.
