i think maybe pgi needs to put a cap on the number of posts so called "players" can make. i mean some of these guys have close to 10,000 posts. some have more. these idiots can't possibly talk intelligently about the game because they never have time to play, with all the assinine posts they make. lets do the math. 10,000 posts over 2 years (roughly 730 days) = 13 posts a day. where do you find the time to play?

Someone of us have enough free time at work to post/read the forums, but don't have the time to play.

Some of us read and type fast.

Don't judge folks harshly based on post count, particularly since the forums have been around since 2011.

[Kenyon Burguess]

a lot of the folks with high forum traffic played thru the betas and made a ton of posts trying to correct issues and make the game a better place. there are also many posts on these forums done out of fun, especially the old meme sections, between groups of friends.

Why is this in New Player?

[Hexenhammer]

I'm not sure I understand how a rant post about trolls in the new player help section is production.

Oh hey I get it! He's providing a case-in-point. Terribly clever.

What's the problem with high post-count players? You can go read ever single one of them in my forum profile. 98% of them will be assisting new players with questions.

Always nice to meet a fan

First we had Founders envy

Then Phoenix envy

Soon we'll have Clan envy

But in the meantime...

Post envy.

"Wheaton’s Law is an internet axiom which states [Redacted]. It was originally used in the context of sportsmanship in online gaming but its scope was eventually expanded to apply to life in general."

Hi Destined! Nice to see you again!

In response to OP

Troll (T) is directly proportionate to the number of posts on the forums. Generally speaking if you have xx posts you'll have xxT. So if we look at the evidence littered throughout the forums we can extrapolate the pertinent statistical data.
Posts/T = Troll Average (TA)
so if we have 1,000 posts/ 500T then out TA = 2
Given a TA of 2, that means X+Y = 2+ Total number of Trolls (TT)

So based on the factual data of the forums it's quite clear that X+Y = 2+TT which in turn = Cake

Right?

For instance,

I've met Billy Bob Throton

He was married to Angelina Jolie

there by the Transitive Property

I've slept with Angelina Jolie.

Algebra is AWESOME!
