You can find problems with just about anyone's writing ability. Even the rare ones that actually try to write something compelling to read and at least try to fix your mistakes before posting it. The most useful ability other players can have is taking constructive criticism AND actually doing something about their mistakes.

So many people can't even do that, and I have a feeling at least one person in these 177 pages has been critical about someone's writing ability yet, put absolutely no added effort in their own posts. Spellcheck your work. Cut out repeated words and sentences that add nothing to the post. You're suppose to be making your writing actually interesting to read...have something, anything dramatic happen in your post. (An argument, a fight scene. Whatever actually builds plot or character.) Don't just explain how a character feels, or purple prose about a landscape and exposition dump. Make your post engaging or build up to something interesting. Making long wordy posts that are slog to read doesn't make it any better than someone merely posting a few concise paragraphs.

And I could go on about GM'ing, but that's it's own separate issue...

@SleepingSilence

You really gonna put forward this argument again and am I really gonna have to point out your hypocrisy again?

Discussion: Microtransactions in Games

Microtransactions are here to stay. Financially there's no reason not to use them. It's better to wager that you won't get BF2 levels backlash and earn mad cash.

@Monacho I don't think I would consider DLC packages part of the trend of microtransaction. In my experience, microtransactions have been utilized for things as simple as items that help you increase your stats. DLC has always seemed like additional portions of the game. Sure, some DLC hasn't always been the greatest for certain games, but to some, it's been worth it.

@Altered Tundra

For that argument you need to demarcate what kind of DLC we're even discussing. Taking Sims 2 or so, yeah, those things added a wealth of content, were created after release, and were generally fairly priced. But they don't stack up to modern 'on release' DLC, things that were created before release - I count under that the exclusive bonuses too (buy it at x store and get y).

But per definition it doesn't relate to the topic at hand. Microtransactions are small ingame purchases. A DLC are larger purchases (I mean, I guess horse armor DLC wouldn't exactly be a large purchase, but yknow) that are made off the game, and typically include new content, not unlocks of existing content.

@Odin It comes across with a coarse and derisive tone towards something that in no way warranted derision. That seems like textbook belittling to me. See @Superboy's comment.

@Sierra

It's almost as though speech and the recognition there of is entirely subjective in nature. If you perceived it that way, by all means. Words have the power you give them, etc, etc. Offense is taken not given, etc, etc.

We can keep going but I think @ArenaSnow sums it up perfectly.

Yes, sometimes things won't be the way I'd like. But I am fully aware that I can't do anything to change that - I came here to vent my dissatisfaction because I know this. Literally, this entire thread is a series of 'you problems' that some people just happen to have in common, and they come here to vent that out. But my complaint is that the majority of the 18+ games I've seen don't have content that could be considered such. Not that I don't like the games themselves.

@CollectorOfMyst

Wait, are you talking about the RPG-function 'tag' that says 18+? Or are you talking about people labeling their thread name 18+? Because the tag barely gets used and could just be an alert that 18+ material could be in the thread.

For things like gore that's a discretion thing. It's more of a warning. That said the advice I gave you still stands. If you see a thread with a plot you like and it's labeled 18+ for some reason and you can't decipher why, then why not just PM them? If it's because there's possible smut involved then ask them if the plot is possible without.

@Odin And the appropriate response to that "best solution" is to be belittling?

@Sierra

I wouldn't really call it belittling but I suppose your threshold for calling something belittling is lower than mine. The long and short of it is that I see so many ways around the issue presented that can be undertaken by the poster themselves that I see little use in bitching about it.

@Odin I fail to see how this adds anything meaningful to the discussion, other than possible some mild (and unnecessary) derision.

@Sierra

The meaningful thing it adds is that sometimes, things aren't how you want them to be, and complaining about them won't do anything. That aside, nothing is stopping said person from actually sending out a PM and saying, hey, I'm 17, wanna do an RP without all that content because I liked your idea for x and y. But, yeah, I guess you are right, Sierra. Best solution is to come here and complain about something nobody can do anything about because of the way this website is set up.
