Bad influencers, herd mentality and an oblivious community

What are you talking about? Nobody buys gold in dead games.

It really isn’t dead. Spend less time looking at other people online.

Never seen any gold spam myself. I started on a German server and I kinda like the people / community, so I’m sticking. My German is good enough anyhow.

The community is great. The game is awful.

You are showing the thing, that confuses me. (and what’s this post is about)
Whenever I do NOT like a game… I don’t go to that game’s forums/discussions to tell everyone else I don’t like it. I almost never refunded a game neither; it was my choice and I made a wrong one.

Why do people repeatly come back to try to convince others to NOT like something?

I have never posted things online just to tell people I didn’t like something. (with exception for 2 google reviews about webhost & hotel)

My only refund was for Monster Hunter, because it was clunky as hell and just a simple arcade game. This is my first time mentioning this online.

And it’s very bad. Because you could warn a lot of people against buying obviously bad content.

When the internet first appeared, I was so excited, I thought it would be the dawn of a new age, an age where education was free, where knowledge was easy to find and share, where all the tools required for mankind to cooperate and unite were there, on a platter, free of charge, making anything possible. Mankind would grow, evolve, and the future was bright!

(I’m obviously dramatising a little) :stuck_out_tongue:

I was party right, it was the dawn of a new age, where information and knowledge has indeed never been more freely available, where anyone at all could educate themselves for free, where anyone in the world could connect to anyone else anywhere else in the world.

But funnily enough, people have never been more ignorant, information has never been more fake people have never been more isolated, and the one thing that for me, symbolises the internet, particularly in online gaming but in online communities in general, is mob mentality. Mindless sheep following each other to the sound of herd’s behhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

:))))))) (plz dont take this too literally, it’s a joke, I still think it’s true, but I say it as a joke)

So…what?
Should youtubers have not said anything?
That would be a great way to get the problems never fixed; don’t say anything! But I assure you; people left because of the problems, not because of the youtubers.

This is just another ‘Why are youtubers being mean!?’ post. But until a problem hurts the company’s bottom line; they won’t fix it. So reporting on it is 100% the right thing to do.
This MMO just happens to have a massive amount of deluded white knights who think saying anything about the real problems is not allowed, and somehow reporting on these issues is killing the game.

Honestly. That’s very weird behavior.
You don’t have any responsibility to ‘warn others’ and you are already aware that it’s just hurting other people, who dó enjoy it. It’s a bit like protesting in front of an abortion clinic; you know you’re just making everything worse for everyone. Or like gay bashing.
Let other people be gay, let them abort, let them play a game.

I don’t understand why you’d keep doing it. For me it’s a personaility flaw. No offense.

1 Youtuber should’ve said it.
All 9.999’s other copy pasters should’ve gone back to school and learn a profession

Not dead, but dying. And not very slowly at that, dropping 100k players a week and this is after 6 weeks still the case. The trend is not stopping. We already near the 200k player mark, next week it’ll be 100k. And then it’s pretty much dead, especially with over 600 (!!!) servers.

Rofl. Sure. Because 1 youtuber can reach everyone.

And now we see an anti-youtube post. People don’t have to get jobs just because you don’t like youtube. If they make it work for them; your opinion has no bearing on their lives.

I’m sure I wont have an affect on their pathetic little lives. I don’t even know what’s trending at the moment.

Good thing no one cares what you do or your opinion of a youtuber’s choice of hobby and/or career. :+1:
I’ll never understand this ‘Youtubers are lazy/evil/stupid/etc because I don’t approve of them!’ mentality some people have.
No one cares. It’s their life and their job. Do you judge other people based on their jobs? What makes you think anyone needs your respect?

There is difference between “I don’t like something because of my own taste” and “the seller lied me and he’s promising to fix his issues for already 2 months and I don’t see any changes”.
It is called SCUM. And don’t try to tell me that aware people from scum is something bad.

It’s the difference between people who make things and people who use things.
Youtubers are 100% users. It’s like watching Reality TV, which I also never cared for.

And no Xoshy, this isn’t a scam, or scum. Youtubers have a bad influence on you people… they don’t create content, but still influence negatively… Yea, I should like streamers.

I don’t watch ANY youtube channel that is related to New World

Ah, so people who make things (like you) are superior?
So you dislike youtube because doing so makes you feel better than everyone else. Good to know.
Don’t care.

First question in my mind… why would anyone make a specific channel for one single game.
I only liked the Let’s play from RockPaperShotgun, where she was playing old RPG’s without putting her face in the video. Wonderful

Yes, people who actually create things are superior to Reality TV stars.

Bro, I have 25 years of gaming experience and I can tell for sure. This not even a game. It’s a demo of engine or at least early alpha version with some features ready (not even beta).
