It's about posting rhetoric. Some people are calm, fair, rational, and have less bias. Others are emotional, dismissive, and are very biased.
Experts are people that have knowledge of a subject and, while they have a side, give fair credit and consideration to any disagreeing opinion that has worth.
I have seen a lot of that lately and I blame CCP and CPM for the improved quality of the forums as of late. People are learning that being rational is more effective than being a troll because CCP is listening more. CPM is being more active in a constructive manner due to this.
Look at your posts. Do you take disagreement well? If not - you are not an expert. |

I can't agree with that good sir.
It's something that must certainly be considered in most aspects of existence -- but I would say that is ONE problem the Dust community doesn't have.
The nature of this game is complex. You learn to like spreadsheets. I am very right brained -- my professions are (winter) English teacher and (summer) Surfer. Two very non analytical things. I have learned to like spreadsheets!  Actually stupid people, those who are incapable of understanding, quite simply don't play this game.
The type of person who comes and stays around is not stupid. I have seen some horribad posts on these forums -- but I still would say the majority of people who post those aren't stupid; just emotional, egotistical, or cynical. For whatever reason the folks in this game may post things that are not thought out all the way through, due to ego or rage or lack of context, they are certainly all capable of understanding a complex idea even if they( and in fact myself as well I miss stuff too and need a friendly summation in a different manner -- so really WE) don't get it right off the bat every time or agree with you every time.
So, no I don't believe that simple ideas rise to the top. I think simple ideas are more *implementable.* There are so many limits on CCP. Money, Time, Staff, Permissions, inherent coding, hardware for the chosen platform-- it is a HUGE list. So I feel more like it is the simple ideas that can be implemented reasonably. That's the long and short of it really.
Don't underestimate the community. |
