[quote=HaleyTheRandom]I'd also like to point out that I think we've all had our own different experiences on RPG and perhaps other sites and can attest to the fact that there are good and bad apples in every bunch. [/quote] Yes. Just because the median average is the way it is doesn’t mean there aren’t expectations. Back in 2004, I moderated an Arena-style role-playing message board and participated as a principal participant as well. There were many people who were good people of various “skill levels” and I can tell you that objectively that the bad did not define the good. People grossly misunderstand when I criticize a concept or idea that I am criticizing everyone; which is frankly, not the case. [quote=Dynamo Frokane]I'd have to disagree, while arena has its problems, mainly from the fact that it has a very small user base. The community on there are no worse then just RP communities in general.[/quote] You are welcome to disagree, but it will not change my perspective nor will it suddenly make fifteen years of my experiences irrelevant or wrong. In regards to RPG, frankly I just don’t like the majority of people I’ve seen that frequent Arena since even before Guildfall— and I will fight you that any attitudes or toxic behavior have been non-existent. I will also disagree that it is no worse than “RP communities in general” and that is not just upon subjective feelings towards individuals or content but objectively in experience. [quote=Dynamo Frokane]But I've seen more bias and elitism in Off-Topic, Chatroom and Casual Rps then in Arena. I started out in RPG purely as an arena player, and everyone there was always very mature and sociable. [/quote] That is definitely not true from what I have seen in Casual (off-topic and chatroom are non-issues and irrelevant since they share community regulars from all sections) which has been one of the least “elitist” of forums on RPG. I mean no offense or disrespect to you Dynamo, but looking at it as someone from Arena I believe you could be looking at it with a significant amount of favorable bias. For over four years I have written on RPG and specifically avoided Arena for a variety of reasons, nothing changed post-Guildfall in that regard. [quote=Dynamo Frokane]I realise just by disagreeing with you I'm putting my own reputation on the line, but I dont think that antagonism label is justified.[/quote] It is justified; I do not come to conclusions haphazardly or without reason. [quote=HaleyTheRandom]But that's just my random sixteen year old opinion. [/quote] Why do I suddenly feel ancient.
