BuzzerBeater Forums

I believe part of what Lemon refers to includes me, and I know exactly what he's talking about.

In quite a few of these threads I have pointed out that staff do not like to debate. What happens is once a user states a negative opinion we see a flurry of staff posts supporting each other and following that, the staff start then arguing about pedantics. (Who said what to whom and why and blah blah). Once that happens the orginal problem becomes forgotten in a flurry of nonsense.

As on all the previous occassions I ask, can the staff please stay on topic. That would be the changes, the probability (certainty if you're as confident as me), the changes to attendance and why they don't focus on tanking, and why we were lied to (yes I use that word carefully, I've seen it too often now to accept as a mere changing of minds) about the changes to salary which was originally stated as being part of anti-LI measures. (Reducing the importance of high IS on guards.)

Personally I try to keep out of as many discussions as possible these days. I have limited time and don't want to spend it in an endless discussion over details or commenting on a bunch of quotes that are misunderstood or what ever it may be.
I also don't like the overly negative tone that is present in many threads and from some users. They have a set mind on something and often so do I. So a long argument have done nothing but waste time for me. There's hardly ever any agreement to be found.
As for the part about other staff, they are free to have their own thoughts on everything just as I am or any other user. I will agree with whoever it is as long as their thought about something are the same as mine. Just being part of the staff doesn't automatically lead to that I need to think the same about stuff.

Its too easy to dismiss users as negative and again, staff and their supporters are guilty of often doing this. I've given reasons why I believe the changes I've commented on are a bad idea, and not good for the game. Its is not negative for me to say something isn't in the best interests of the game and everyone who plays it. I see that as a positive thing. By dismissing me, and everyone else who comments as merely negative, it shows clearly that what's being said by clearly intelligent people like Robard, Lemonshine and others is not being read properly.

I'm not getting at you specifically, as I don't believe you were getting at me in your post. Nor just the staff. There are other users who blithely wave around the instruction to not be negative.

Personally I comment because I care, and don't want to see what I regard as huge mistakes being made.

Seriously, this game is getting way to complicated for newbies.. there are just way to many rules for this and for that..

I know they wont be effected by this 1 rule, but they have to read this one and all those others and eventually they will 'bother' them once in the future.. It just feels like 'to much to handle'..

Its sucking out the fun for the most of it..

Ps im a newbie now, but i have played the game since S4 for 20+ seasons.

Building my team years ago seemed more fun. Getting dictaded way to much now how BB thinks how i should run my team instead of me running it the way whats best ànd most fun for me.

The amount of managers total still declining right? I dont know why its declining, but i can understand for a real newbie all those rules are just way much to grasp when reading the game manual..
