Dear moderators, can we cut down the rants?

About every other thread on this forum is a rant. Can we have them moved, or merged or something. As it is they're breeding like rabbits, with new threads keep cropping out, often disguised to mean something else, when they know it's a personal rant.

The PvPers has been complaining since the day the game shipped. It's only right that they get some of what they've been asking for. Besides, before the changes, you pretty much has to earn everything through PvE. PvP had the shorter end of the stick.

Knowing that, why must the PvErs grow this jealousy syndrome at the PvP crowd?

If you're in this game only PvE, you're missing out 50% of what the game is about. So if you feel bored after 500 hours of game play, this might be way. Btw 500 hrs of entertainment for $50 is getting your money's worth.

MOST of Guildwars players actually enjoy both aspects of the game. So what the devs are doing now may not please YOU, but they're PLEASING the larger crowd.

Now can we have the amount of ranting in this forum cuts down? I'm afraid this place is turning into another guild-hall =_= which I promptly left after the forum pretty much turn into a warzone.

I think, personally, that the moderators have done a decent job of weeding out the detritus and allowing what you construe as "ranting" because they feel it is condusive to decent discussion. I feel this way because my own posts in the past were just that, rants, and much of that material was not even about the GAME, so it was justified that they were removed.

As far as ranting now, I have not been on here in several days, and upon my return, I see nothing to which you speak of. Maybe I am simply out of the loop, but I think the mods know what is happening on their board here. If not, it would show. It doesn't.

I don't give a fu-ck if this thread gets deleted, so long as the ranting around here gets cut down.

Sorry smartass, I'm not trying to out-rant anybody here. As another Einstein clearly point out.

What's the point of doing it publically? You think seeing your post is gonna make people shut up of their own accord? Get real, this was just an attempt to blow off steam to a public audience (i.e. a rant).

I dunno, everytime I see one of Malchiel's posts, they seem to be contributing negatively. Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough for the good ones.

Don't try to hard. You won't find anything different. I mean... look he's throwing flamebaits left and right...

Yeah, I wasn't expecting much from him. Wonder when the mods will lock this up?

My posts are almost always creative, well-spirited, articulate, and universally ignored :P

By the way, your thread is in fact a rant.

Mods must be fearsome to the public! They should be ruthless and quick to punish those who question them! The fear they inspire should last for months! .. But on the inside, they're just cuddly bears.
