Ok I read the forums and Ive learnt alot from them, but: from the forum you can ask questions about game mechanics etc which is good, it helps combat the eliteism in the game Id be quite happy to see the log board disappear. Thats just my 2c (or more)
from the log board you often find out people are members of a cabal, when that character may be trying to keep it a secret
you find out what a characters tactics are, so even if you havent fought them you may have an unfair advantage
you find out which chars are easier to win over than others, so that the not so tuff ones are likely to be targets
you also find out what some skills, cabal powers etc do, which would have otherwise come as a surprise in the game - which is why
I dont post logs - a may in the future post some that are of a funny nature not giving anything away
but I still like to read them, but I dont think its really good for the game
I mean every char is started and played knowing where certain areas are etc, some know to go to say the battlefield and pick stuff up off the ground
where a new char would know this how?
It also gives a chance to bitch about other people and abuse and flame and stuff - which isnt good
I would like to see any post with swearing disallowed, there really is too much crap in the forum
It does give the chance to offer praise to the imms etc, which is good but it normally takes something drastic for people to do this
Id be quite happy to see the forum moderated more.
You really cant get rid of the item stats etc, because the elite people already have this info, you just increase the gap between them
and the average player. Id prefer a well fought close fight with another skilled person to a whuppin of someone who dosent know whats
going on.
