HAHAHAHAHAHA!! Martyr much? If some changes in a video game upset you this much, just wait until your employer changes your health care insurance. Hilarious.

I made no specific claim about teh accuracy of teh specific survey, only that the science on data we have now shows that with a large population, only around 1000 responses are needed to get decently accurate data on a topic. If you want to learn the science, you are welcome to take the time to do so, I have no desire to coddle the close minded.

Pretty obvious you have no idea how the basics of statistics and surveys work. For Warframe, about 1000 samples is all you need for most anything. Do even basic research and you will see how far off base you really are... Too funny.

*you're" No one really cares if people bragging about getting a better deal bothers you, anymore than you care about them bragging about it in the first place, even though you cared enough to make a rant, just as I cared enough to make a rant about your rant. Gamers be silly with these "don't do that anymore" demands. Some people simply cannot abide that there are those who will not Obey their little house rules I guess. Why do you think you have some right to force your world view on others? So silly.

So, yet again, you just don't like my prose. How tragic. The whole point of replying was, and still is, an attempt for you to explain what means, other than a meme-based diss on me not being one of the 'cool kids'. It's just silly in my opinion for you to think the quoted post is anything other than a trolling insult. I am not special, I have never thought of myself as special, I am just another gamer, nothing to let go. I am generally average in pretty much all ways. It's great, as most all car seats fit me well. Just another gamer with opinions. I was not and did not crap on anyone with my post in this thread, that's in your head, beyond making a joke about teenagers thinking they invented sex, if one is sensitive to such humor. I directly conveyed that is it very amusing and interesting to see the same topics occur over time and people treating them as if they are new topics, added to my enjoyment of gamers learning how the world works. no 'crapping on' intended. Are you not here for discussion? If I do not respond to you, there is no discussion. I stated my point of view on topics like this that reoccur and seem 'new' to many gamers for discussion, you choose to insult me and then try and say I am the troll...it's really funny but still kind of sad. So, to conclude. I get it. You just want me to follow your world view when posting or stop posting. Neither is going to happen. Happy Gaming!

So, you have no explanation, just more vague innuendo you think makes you look like you 'win'. Too funny. It's obvious you simply don't like the style and content of my prose, oh well, these things happen, so sorry to trigger you. Again, if you can think of a way to retcon/spin into something other than an obvious 'old boomer' dig, I'll be happy to read it. If you are trying to imply 'out of touch' over 'old', then it's really just a passive aggressive version of the same thing, you are trying to diss me for not being 'cool'. I am well aware your goal at this point is to troll me to respond so you can feel better about yourself, it's OK. You are enough. I am here for you. What can I do to make you feel better?

Then by all means enlighten me as to what your prose implies, if not a passive-aggressive 'old boomer' insult. Happy to see you clarify, always happy to understand someone when I have mis-understood, so please, explain to this poor old man what means, if not an attempt to insult me for not being one of the cool kids? Happy to admit I got it wrong if you can explain what it might mean...

So because I think it's interesting and amusing to see gamers mature and the extrovert-ambivert-introvert scale of human nature repeat itself in video game settings, and I choose to avoid the drama of PuGs, you think passively aggressively calling me an 'old boomer' makes some kind of 'points' with your cohort? It's hilarious that people think calling someone like me old is taken as an insult. On the contrary, it just shows me how successful I am at life (and how others envy that success). Ageism from the young is truly funny to me, when they use all the tools and infrastructure people like me built for them in the first place to sling the insults. Who do you think built the internet for you? Perhaps one day you will create of original insults and think for yourself, not just use what others have shown you in memes. Good Luck!

It's always amusing to see gamers think the things that are inherent to gaming and have been since gaming began are 'brand new' simply because they just discovered them. Kind of like teenagers always seem to think they invented sex. Perhaps the most wise quote in the thread. It's always fun to watch people that seem to have this idea that anyone that plays a game will play that game the way they do, when they learn other people play differently. It's especially fun and inspiring to watch someone mature past thinking they have to play a game the way everyone else does, and/or learn that just because a loud portion of the player base demands a certain playstyle, there is no reason one has to 'obey'. I don't see the point in spending my time with a bunch of random people I don't know, much less listen to their lives and for mom to yell at them to take out the trash. I realize that many people think playing with other humans is the fun part, but I am not an extrovert. Extroverts cannot seem to fathom fun without other people. So, like with so many things in life, it all boils down to where you are on the introvert-ambivert-extrovert rainbow, in my experience.

My life is great, thanks! About to move and no longer have a mortgage! I hope your life is awesome! Whatever. That's cool.

Thank you so much for your kind words. Always nice to get a compliment! It's nice to know we feel the same way about each other's prose, good to be on the same page! I recently found a couple quotes that really drive home my approach to this forum and many of it's regulars...and it goes both ways it seems! "Don't take criticism from people you wouldn't ask for advice." "Don't let someone else's bad opinion of you become your own opinion of you." "Don't risk your mental health out of sheer politeness." This sums up how I think about most of the gamers that inhabit this forum and how many of them see me. It's good to accept reality! Happy Monday!

TIL about Norepinephrine. This has nothing to do with misogyny or misandry, it has everything to do with hateful gamers, gender is irrelevant to my point. So, the correct statement I should be making is: "There are so many Norepinephrine based gamers that live for hating on games and new games they can use to leverage that hate are candy to them." as Norepinephrine is the chemical responsible for fear and anger, not testosterone. Always nice to learn a new thing, always good to further understand ones enemies.

My Posse. My Crew.

Seriously, you don't think this will ever stop, do you? There are so many testosterone based gamers that live for hating on games and new games they can use to leverage that hate are candy to them. People love to tear down anything successful to make themselves feel better about their own crappy lives. My favorite prose about this: Doc : [after hearing several of the townsfolk openly disparage George in the Bar] Why do ya have to tear him down? What are ya so afraid of? What have you got to lose? He wasn't selling anything! He didn't want anything from anybody! He wanted nothing from nobody! Nothing! And you people have to tear him down so you can sleep better tonight! So ya can prove that the world is flat and ya can sleep better tonight! Am I right? Am I right?... I'm right... The Hell with all of ya. The Hell with everyone of ya.

"I asked them a simple question?" But, you didn't. You desire it to be simple, you want it to be simple, but it's not. Why? Because lawyers, bad actors and real money are involved. You don't have to like it, heck, you don't even have to 'accept' it, you can deny reality all day long, it's your brain. But the reality is that this is not a simple thing for DE to handle, for many of the reasons you have already been given like the fact if they make 'hard' rules the rules-lawyers jump in and ruin things, for example, coupled with the fact DE is a company and has to abide by laws and regulations around how real money is transferred in the real world, even if you think it's "a simple question". You're premise is flawed, your attitude appears to be that you are entitled to information to which you are not, and that you are some kind of martyr for trying to help the community. You obviously have a chip on your shoulder toward DE and anyone who will not do your bidding, which is really funny as well, since you are trying to call out others for being sophomoric, when you are the one acting like an inexperienced, entitled player. All in all, I got a couple laughs, thanks. Happy Gaming!
