There's often times too much negativity on these forums. I see people treat others with disrespect and as a result both sides dig in even more in opposition to one another.
It's okay to be upset. It's okay to get frustrated with this game. People get upset and frustrated because they are passionate about this game. I'm passionate about this game. I'm not advocating that everyone just love each other and hold hands, that's unrealistic. However, I do think there are better ways to handle some of the frustration and anger that is often times displayed on this forum.
This game delivers "highs" and "lows". I've been upset with this game, I've been upset with people in this game. I keep playing it though, I keep coming back. I could make a list of all the things I don't like about EU, but I believe there are other users, like myself, who are tired of seeing and hearing others complain. Negativity can begin to wear on you as a reader.
I believe that nonstop negativity breeds regression. I would rather see progress. MA does a lot of things wrong, but I also believe they do a lot of things right. If they weren't doing at least some things right, you wouldn't be here. I have my complaints, I have things I want to see changed. I'm reserving those for another topic, another day. I want to focus on the reasons why I play this game today. The positive things I enjoy about EU.
I play because...
