Hey guys,
I just wanted to make this post, because I have been noticing flagrant comments and sweeping statements about how CCP (or anyone for that matter) has gone about making/patching this game, some of this can be considered Hyperbole which, by definition is: "Exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally." Now, hyperbole is extremely dangerous both for your credibility, your feedback, and the future of this game.
Example, If Tom, **** and Harry post on these forums along the lines of "Scrambler pistols are OP!!!!!1111!!, they crap on anyone even at sniper range! and they win you every fight!"
Not only do readers question whether or not take your opinion seriously, threads essentially descend into whoever can spurt out the most exaggerated comment. This can make it extremely difficult if not impossible for the route cause of the problem to be found, thus delaying any action to rectify the situation and making life harder for CCP.
Good feedback will use personal examples and proof of statements, even better if it's backed up with numbers, so that the reader can determine the exact degree of the situation and provide counter-arguments that match the situation if applicable.
For instance, "When going into a fight with my squad, I use my scrambler pistol instead of my main weapon, because it 1-2 shots shields even on Caldari prototype dropsuits, and this can be up to 20-25m, this to me makes me feel like a death machine"
I know that when it comes to winning the internets, the prize is normally for the most outlandish statement possible, but when it comes to giving feedback this is not the case, and is in fact the opposite.
I just ask that people take care when posting hyperbolic statements and to choose your words carefully, and that it would also be cool if forum users don't flame people who are using these sorts of statements but direct them away and then we will all benefit.
Thank you for reading,
Krasy
(P.S. I apologise if this is in the wrong place, I thought it was appropriate in here giving the subject of this threat, feel free to move this and remove this note if this is the case, or not if I nailed it.) |

Four example threads added which I think provide a good scope so far of how to make some good threads for feedback! I'd like to see more that I can add to this list! |

OG- Kush wrote:I dont know how they do it ICELAND but here in AMERICA we shed our BLOOD for our freedom of SPEECH..
who gets to decide whats "hyperbole" or not? You think 1 long word justifies millions of lives given to this cause?
If you think that's a long word, you sir, may have to expand your vocabulary.
Freedom of speech is great, but when it works against what everyone is working towards (a better Dust) fear mongering without evidence to back it up is pointless, and us forum goers get to decide what is hyperbole.
This and maybe the next reply will be my only bite, so choose your words carefully. |

I'd really like for this thread to become full of good tips for creating some discussion, so people who do come to make feedback no matter how refined it is, get good tips and make it better so all can benefit! Stickied and this could be a 1st approach when this forum is visited. |

Stickied and this could be a 1st approach when this forum is visited. i might have ruined it for u trying to explain there are other ways than ass kissing. i apologise. good communication is the best way. whether u r yelling or weeping ppl have to know how u feel and why. it doesnt hurt to have examples either.
Nevermind, everything has teething problems :P |

edited the OP so that non-specific feedback is touched on, I feel that it can almost have the same effects as hyperbole in some situations! |

They have given tanks a buff to allow for longer fights not "Lol 1st shot wins" and remember, Dust is here for the long game, so those raising issues that are short sighted remember, just because CCP has 'released' Dust doesn't mean the development has been scaled back, just like SoxFour said. |
