Folks, only warning.
I'll leave mediocr3's post up as an example, but if you can't put forward your viewpoint without insults, the post will be deleted without comment or explanation.
If you want me to stick around in the forums, treat it as if you're in my living room talking to me face to face. I won't put up with childish behaviour in my own home, and I won't do so here.
You are not in your living room. You are polling ideas from the web.
You will never be a jedi until you can filter out extraneous content and get to the ideas within them...
Because what is not said can be as important as what is said.
I wonder how often the best ideas are discarded or overlooked because a person does not like words they are wrapped in.
Regardless, on topic, I'll add that I don't care for the challenge because I must constantly redo the lesser levels once I have a good build going to test my mettle at the higher levels.
Now, going back to being a jedi... what was not said in that content? Hmmm... You might come up with the thought "Maybe I could find a way to let players select the levels they have completed? That way when they are in the mood to play the challenge, they can try to blow away targets at their highest level, and then adjust their mech ideas, and repeat, instead of quiting it and never returning.
So now... on the subject of polling the internet for ideas. In a country that advocates free speech and equality (as in the government is legally not able to punish you for your words or life experiences overtly) are you getting into the spirit of being a member of the ideals of the country by being selective of posts you don't like? There are plenty of people who have good reasons for posting good ideas in uncouth ways.
It would be good if more people could put on the "mask of the institution" and realize it is nothing personal against them when negative comments are made about the institution. Alot of ways to improve "the institution" could be contained within them.
"The institution" in this case being PGI on MWO
