Apologies if at any time this post offends anyone for any reason, but I simply do not care either way. If the wall of text is too annoying to read, then you should probably read it anyway. Regardless, there will be a TL;DR segment at the very bottom for you all to enjoy. <3
We've all seen the reactons to the latest patch, 4.0.1, where nearly every class claims to have received a nerf of some sort. Retribution Paladins and Hunters of all specs are what I see from personal observation to be the largest group of QQ prone players. That's not to say there aren't other that whine about their class being nerfed or changed in playstyle. I've even seen some Mages who dislike the changes to their class, despite the crowd of happy Mages now setting things on fire or freezing them with glee. However, the entire point of my post and what most of the people complaining do in every post, is that they never explain or offer alternatives.
For example, please consider the following: "Retribution Paladins suck ASS." It's a bit vague, isn't it? A small step in the right direction would be something like, "Retribution Paladins suck ASS because of X." It's a bit more descriptive, right? That and it makes you seem less like a complete retard who would whine if they were hung with a new rope. We should all take it a step further, and offer feedback something like, "Retribution Paladins suck ASS because of X, and the changes to Y. If we could do A to X, and maybe make Y into B, things would be better." See the magic? In only two sentences, a player is able to say exactly what he/she dislikes about a class and its changes, AND offer a solution to the problem no matter how practical or impractical it may actually be. This is what we like to call, progress.
So, why doesn't Blizzard seem to listen to your complaints? It's because a greater half of players will only bitch about something, and offer no solution or reason as to why they bitch about it. Worse still, these people will state with fervor that their opinion is FACT that is non-debateable by anyone, even those who actually make the game they're playing. If by chance, there were more detailed posts describing why a person disliked X or Y and proposed a solution in the form of A or B, then Blizzard would be more than happy to lend an ear to our problems. As it stands, Blizzard has to make Catch-22 decisions because everyone expects them to magically know exactly what the players want done to their class. "CHANGE IT!!" is by no means a valid post to make here or on the official forums. If we can take the time to write more than a sentence, in a calm and composed manner, with no retarded threats which are entirely empty, we just might get a positive response from Blizzard.
Thank you for your time.
TL;DR Stop bitching and start spelling out solutions, all who whine without reason.
