Yeah but still it's good to point it out,
On the other hand, is it that hard to ignore unusefull post?
Being friendly/cool always is a good thing, if certain players don't want to act like that it says more about them and their own knowledge about the game than it says about the idea (thus start of the topic)
Cheers,
no one really cares too much how much they get insulted online ... simply because its online, id rather crap on someone on here than in real life simply because it gets alot more personal and serious.
Rogue, I'm very new to the Gym, and I've noticed exactly what you are talking about. It really bothers me how, if you read through the decklist forum, apparently no deck is playable (wow, that's strange... how does anyone play or win?). Everyone has a single card that will destroy your deck. "Your deck is the sux0rs! Everyone knows that [insert card here] will kill your deck in an instant!".
I also like how people seem to sometimes disregard facts like their card is a stage 2 level X with 4 energy attaches required, or may be something you may not see a lot of. I appreciate valid feedback, like the fact that Dialga G lv X is probably going to get a lot of play at states (in which case, please thoughtfully and respectfully point this out, I will actually appreciate your comment). But if your card that will destroy my deck is a Mantine or a Ho-oh... please keep your comment to yourself. :smile:
I have seen some really positive feedback, though, which I really appreciate. I got some well thought out comments on a couple of threads I posted. I just hate when I read "Kingdra is the FAIL, no one plays him anymore!" posts.
Guys, throwing jargon at him isn't very helpful.
Name the Pokemon in your suggested combo.
Otherwise, you might was well be speaking in tongues.
Ryan, polite and constructive comments are nearly always welcome ... and frequently lacking around here.
Rather than "OMG, your deck sucks. If you play this you will go 0-4, drop, at states" it would be nice to see constructive and polite feedback. It's OK to let someone know that a given idea may not pan out, but how that's said matters a lot in terms of building a supportive community.
Saying "I'd rather save people time that waste it." is a false argument that doesn't really address the point raised by red face paint Archetype or pokemon-dad.
I’ll also add that text based mediums like this are notoriously difficult ones in terms of expressing humor or subtly well. I’m sure that some people are just trying to be funny with their cracks here and there, but mostly they fail, and end up causing offence.
Not really.
Pokemon-dad was saying that he didn't like people saying that certain decks wouldn't work, etc. I said that this is actually beneficial. It bothers pokemon-dad that people say no deck is playable... well, I guess the truth bothers him.
I never said doing it in a rude way was beneficial. However, being truthful and sometimes blunt is very beneficial to people.
I wasn't referring to RA, I was commenting ONLY on pokemon-dad's post.
I maintain my point- it is MUCH better to tell someone their deck won't work than to waste their time by giving "fixes" that won't do anything but make a bad deck a less bad deck.
