I just want to state one thing, and this will be the last thing I'll put in this thread because I realise I'm contributing nothing but "me me me" derails, BUT:
I almost never try to make fun of people, and even when I try, I rarely succeed. However, when I do end up being the bad guy, I'm not above admitting it. If it strikes anyone that I am but I'm still denying it, say it to my face, send me a PM or just tell me about it. I will appreciate it, and I'll do my best not to derail threads over it.
Promise.

Wow, -142 rep points. Didn't think it was possible to lose that many in one shot.
Anyway, yeah, Sam - I'm all for people getting uptight and defensive on the forum, but I think twisting the motivation behind someone's post, and then being utterly blind to the irony of complaining about others trying to make themselves look superior, is...well. lol.
C'mon guys, if you're going to slag Sammy off for having an opinion at least have the balls to keep a degree of consistency with it. Hypocrisy is bad, m'kay.

I understand perfectly well why some (a lot of) people are upset. That's not it at all. But I still find it nonsensical to direct that anger towards people just expressing their own, differing opinions on the matter.|

And much as I try to keep a level head and stick to the moral high ground, I was still pissed off. I'm not sure if other people were as angry as I was, though I imagine at least a couple were.
Point is, what you did was a provocation. In an ideal world, we'd be able to laugh it off and all live happily ever after, but the world of angry people is often rather a very imperfect one. We get angry at things that, logically, we should be tolerant towards, but that's just how it goes. You also have to be aware of the other side of the matter. There are several people around here, and I've started taking names, who've made it a point to act like intolerant bigots, and have gone out of their ways to insult and belittle people for so much as mentioning animal parts. I would like to punch these people. I make no qualms about that. So please understand that when I met the (self-inflicted) disappointment from the Mutant pack AND had to suffer the fool of belligerent jackasses adding insult to injury, that your comment, benign as it is upon reflection, really did rub me the wrong way. I don't want to be ugly here and pester you with this, and I do apologise for making a big deal out of it, but try to understand why I and several other people might be "pretty upset." |
Again if you perceive a provocation where there is non intended that's not my problem, but yours really.
(Last post that I used this line in got me almost -200 rep in one go, lets see if I can do it again
)Anyway, no need for apologies and all that. No harm done in one way or the other as far as I'm concerned. I'm withdrawing from this discussion now. I only went with it this far because a vital pump in the installation broke down at work and I had absolutley nothing to do.

Assuming that someone's happiness comes from the direct grief and dissapointment of others. It's bloody amazing how many people on this forum will assume a differing opinion is a hostile and derogatory one, simply because it contradicts their own.

Hmmm...all I really wanted out of the booster pack was a fox tail, looks like I'll be getting that soon without paying for it.
I was disappointed not to see it in the pack, as I wanted it NOW!
I would of payed 10 bucks just for that. 
Out of the Cyborg pack, all I ever use is the belt.
The new suits are nice, I don't think there's any denying that.
But I think alot of people are a bit miffed at it, is likely because, really, that's what I think people are expecting to see when the mutant booster comes out...a lot more demons.
Still, when it comes out, I'll be buying it. The pieces look great! Already plan on using the Organic Armor Top and Bottom (still hoping the Devs make a less scaley version of it before it goes live), as just a hero suit Now if I can only get a fox tail to go with it >_> *waits patiently*

Meh... I'll be buying it just for the temp power which I think is rather spiffy for the discerning Solo player.
