Exactly one thread (8%) was started by Faterson... How very misleading. Remember, there are lies, damn lies, and then statistics.
Faterson.. you have been here for 84 days. You have written 406 posts (As of this moment).
Thats an astounding 5 posts a day.. everyday. Almost double my output (see below). It seems that fully HALF of your posts revolve around the quitting issue. And these are never the one or two sentence, query resolution posts... no no.. they are paginated, color-coded, quoted and formated diatribes with endless links and back-dated references... ad nausuem.
Your cause is not the cause of the player base at large. You ARE the vocal minority. I am sorry to break this to you, Sr. Quixote. You can whine all you want about my 'boilerplate nonsense' replies because you want to disagree with them, and have no other facts to base your opinions on. You can whine all you want about everyone who disagrees with you, but you have to learn... this GAME really doesn't care WHAT you think, as long as you can support it by buying clubs.
And the sad part, is that when you finally get tired of trying to slay these dragons, and walk away from the game, the game itself will go on with out you. You may be missed by some, but this too shall pass.
I have a challenge for you, Faterson. Take it or not, it is your decision... Your stance, and mine, are recorded on these forums in perpetuity.. everyone who reads these forums knows exactly where you and I stand, correct? All of your arguments are repetitive and, apparently, you believe mine are as well.... well.. here is your challenge.
When the next "New Player" or "New Forum Participant" posts on the topic of quitting, I challenge you to ignore it. Not answer. Not even direct them to the Search Box on the right. There are many many participants on these forums who can, and will, direct any new inquiries to the existing threads.
What do you say, Sr. Quixote? Can you do it? If you so accept, I will not respond to any quitting post, as described above, either. You can let me know, in this thread, today, if you wish to take on my challenge.
Are you man enough?
(for the record. I have been here for 257 days and have 700 posts, as of this moment... that's less than 3 posts a day. 2.72/day)
**Edit.. will post this challenge under a new thread for all to see. If Faterson agrees to it, please post your acceptance there.
