Guess who else made 5 threads in the past day.

Guess who else posts many comments?

Guess what? That person is Ters. I don't see him getting any vulgar statements about him being an "attention [monger]".

Why do you guys like to pick on the underdog, just because he has questions about equipment? Maybe I'm not looking for attention! Ever considered the fact I just want questions?

Please?

That's because his threads are about actual discussion, and not complete BS like this one.
Damn, I was so happy to hear that you were leaving, yet I knew that it wouldn't be taken out. Still, the days without you on the forums were quite lovely.

How exactly have I ruined the forums? What harm have I done?

This is like saying "I'm not talking". Paradox! Your proof breaks your own argument.

"Maybe I'm not looking for attention! Ever considered the fact I just want questions?"
Maybe.. maybe not. Most people actually look for answers, not questions.

irrelevant

regardless of how you feel shouldn't matter on the forums. this is a pointless topic within this section of the forums

the only place where this might be acceptable is the gremlin chatter area

The forums died a while back

Sure we have some good discussion, and Tersakaff is one who made some nice threads.

Way's to NOT seek attention:

1) Merge all possible collective thoughts that have some relevance to each other into one thread. Quality over Quantity.
2) Post insight to the thread. Doesn't have to be positive or negative, as long as its worth being a post.
3) Always think twice. Before you go hit preview and Save when typing something, double check and think of the response you will get from the community. If you can edit something, THEN EDIT IT. I'm pretty sure people would rather see someone taking back what they said, or editing in a little more to the post than making a whole new one.
4) Don't make threads like these. If people don't want to give you attention, THEN STOP SAYING YOU DONT WANT IT. Admitting you aren't something, nearly all the time will make others think you ARE something.

Personally, I couldn't care less if you were annoying or not. I was too distracted by the lack of anything interesting on the forums, alongside in-game to look at half the posts of the first page.

If you are really this annoying, then don't look on the forums. I can assure you you aren't missing out on much. Or better yet just dont post. No one knows who reads what (except that Eury sees ALL)

I can give SOME sympathy, knowing that starting out on a forum is a bit tough, but no empathy. Never run into a place and blurt out everything in fragmented chunks thinking that everyone will instantly think you're amazing/agree with you/etc.. Just make small posts and read more than type. Learn how everyone reacts and how the "style" of posting occurs, THEN write something.

After awhile you'll just be seen as another forumer and will be less likely to be shunned by everyone.

Of course, if you DONT do that, then you're stuck in that position where many people wont forgive you about what you've written, much like now. I honestly read the post, then look at who posted. Most of the time I don't care who said what, as long as its good.

On that note, best of luck with whatever the others feel like. If you're hated, you're hated. Just leave for a bit, and come back when you know what's "good and bad" so to speak.

"How exactly have I ruined

"How exactly have I ruined the forums? What harm have I done?"

You haven't ruined the forums; you just clutter them unnecessarily and people get angry with you because you make multiple topics on one thing when you can mash them all together for a neat, single topic.

That being said, making a topic called "I'm not an attention [bagel]!" which includes calling out another player (who I respect), claiming you're an underdog, and saying 'I'm not looking for attention' at the end is horribly ironic...

Also, guys, really...? I don't think insulting him more and claiming his return marks the end of our days and blowing this even more out of proportion will do anything.

To make it simple... you

To make it simple... you should just keep all your threads in 1 post, not 5 all with very short questions each... maybe consider a helpful guild you can ask them also? For direct and quick responses.

(TBH it was tempting to make a "Soarel Question Thread" just for you, no offense intended :P)

@OP

If you have questions, send me a friend request ingame and just pester me. I like most if not all forum goers, even butt nuggets like Asukalan and that newb Rommil.

Makes sense

Because there can *only* be one attention [wheel].

Fun fact: The more you post, the more desperate you sound. The more desperate you sound, the worse you make things. Saying you were done posting and coming back didn't help either.

Just. Stop. Posting.

Hmm?
But his logic is... amazing!

">People call me an attention honk
>Hmm.. this person posts a lot despite posting on subject, not on himself.. HE MUST BE THE REAL ONE!
>Make thread calling that guy so"

This was my reaction. Literally.

OKAY EVERYBODY, IF YOU POST A LOT, YOU'RE AN ATTENTION HONK (Already got a language warning so I'll be replacing every word that may be offensive with honk. Just to be sure.)
