The Thought Police - Orwellian Community "FTW".

These past couple of days, an interesting (if sad) event happened on our DDO forums. It started like this:
A gamer site published an article with wrong information about the game (wrong info given by turbine), information that they obviously didn't give a shit about double checking. It's the typical "shove it up the ass and take it as it is" type of articles. Among the laughable were these pearls:

- A poor NPC had her name changed from Delera to Deleras (probably by lack of reading comprehension from the article writer or because he purposedly left out the (')
- The screen shots have mixed in scenes from necropolis, Gianthold and Wizard King but hey... all good... they published Turbine's blunder...
- They say that Delera's Graveyard and the raid "The Vault of Night" are new quests... how about 2 years old "new" quests?!

Now comes the fun part of this thing. It seems the article writer didn't like a bad comment about his "dear" article and went after the person that posted it, trying to defend his article. Now, this is absolutely ridiculous. What's next? We're going to have a mob of angry article writers coming after us because of bad comments on their shit? Can't take the heat, don't post to the public, you morons.

Anyway, our dear community, being as volatile as a fart, decided that after the news of Mod 9 being released, would shift from witch hunting those who said anything good about DDO and start witch hunting those who still keep their not so optimistic view about the game. This community has a long standing tradition of witch hunts. They like to mob upon those who have different views and either chase them out of the forum or getting them banned for whatever reason.

Everyone has different views, personalities, opinions and one thing this Orwellian community doesn't like, is people that think different. They tackle on those who have strong opinions as if they're demons from hell, flame them, bash them, denigrate them to no end and then expect to be praised as saviors of the community. God Forbid that you're someone sarcastic or straight forward, you're crucified in public, shamed and bashed because you dared to be different from the lamers that haunt those boards.

In case you're wondering, I'm talking about the European Forums.
There's a nice Orwellian Thought Police in there composed of the usual trolls that like to call the people that are different "trolls". Don't try to be different in this place, you'll only get yourself killed by the angry mobs of trolls that are out for blood. They take a sick pleasure to making you look like a piece of shit, maybe because, they are the pieces of shit for not accepting that people are different.

They wail about how much of a good community they are when in fact, they're just a bunch of holier-than-thou assholes waiting for the next victim to fall into their hands. Inquisition comes to mind when I read those forums. They like to announce how tolerant of different views they are, yet, you post something different from the masses and you get attacked by them, they have no tolerance, they have no qualms in making you look like a retard.

Posting in a different tune to that being played in these forums, means you're a public enemy and should die. I know of at least 6 people that were either chased out of the forum or got banned because these retards spammed the GM's with "plz ban" mails. And what amazes me even more, is that the GM's did it, they gave into the wills of the real trolls and banned the people that were different.

Sarcasm, irony, wittiness, all this is frowned upon as if it's the swine flu and people with such things in their personality are chased around until they're dead.
Amazing community, isn't it? And let's not mention the elitism that is rotting around inside these people to the point they consider that if you don't have 999999 kinds of different pots in your inventory, you're a piece of shit that doesn't deserve to be in a party. But hey... they toss shit about WoW elitism... and fail to see the shit on their knees and how they are exactly the same shit, if not even worse.

Nowadays, people without greensteel weapons are considered gimps, pieces of shit that are good for nothing and shouldn't have a place in parties or raids. People without pots of this and that, are useless tards, people without this and that "clicky" are useless, people without UMD so that they can spend their time and money healing the asses of the elitists are useless. Well, flash news, retards: Want a nanny, rent a fucking cleric hireling so that you can get your elite ass healed.

These people have forgotten what it is to start out a game, they thing everyone has 3 million platinum in their bank and can buy everything and anything without a worry. They moan if a poor newbie cleric doesn't have enough scrolls. WELL, GIVE THEM TO THE CLERIC THEN, BECAUSE YOU ELITES HAVE MONEY ROTTING AROUND.
This USED to be a good community, now it's just a trash bin full of rotting shit that doesn't interest anyone.

My word of advice to those coming to the European Server: ignore the forums because you'll only find shit in there. Those who dare to be different are drowned in a sea of shit, those who defend newbies and that people don't have to carry 999999 pots/clickies/weapons/etc are killed. And if you find such individuals in the game, run from them like the plague otherwise you'll be ridiculed, bashed and worse.

My words to the community: take your fucking cocks out of your own asses and shove them down your throats so you stop vomiting the shit that should be coming out of your asses. Accept that people are different and fucking hone your retarded reading comprehension, stop chasing people that are different you xenophobic jerks! Open your fucking eyes to the fact you're nothing but a pile of elitist shit, thinking you're so great... yes, you are... a great shit, a bunch of trolls and flamers that like to pose as saviors. Fuck you all and die in a pit of tar so the world is better off without your fucking rotting genes.

DDO - Europe Community: how a decent community turned into a pile of elite shit and a veritable Thought Police. Sad, but true.
