Then why are you in the discussion

My point was that I didn't even have to look at the forums to know they were fuckin miserable for those games, not that they're the only bad parts. Just write it off as a fuckin nasty cesspit not even worth digging through for troubleshooting threads

No, I don't. That's my point, they're so unmoderated it's all just bullshit, and the problem is that it frequently and regularly devolves into hateful bullshit. I wish Valve would have a more robust moderation system so the forums could be more useful. However, Valve just pushed the problem to the developers and doesn't ensure any baseline level of quality between games.

As much as I do actually like Valve and Steam, this is a big issue and has been forever.

Frankly I'm shocked people don't recognize how prevalent it is. So many game releases have discussion forums plagued with "anti-woke" bullshit plastered everywhere. I just write off the forums for any game that features a black or female main character, let alone LGBT representation.

You definitely aren't looking very hard

No mods online? That sucks big, there's several mods I really don't want to do without.

It's a great place to create extremists, there is basically no moderation and people say some fucking awful shit on Steam forums. I think this is a long time coming, honestly.

Ah see, I talk to my cat when I'm at home. It isn't just me talking to myself, it's enrichment for my little furry buddy!

At this rate? Leaving most of the internet probably

They are capable of it, but I don't really see why they would. Making the tokens cost more gold would mean less people willing to buy them on the AH and therefore less people selling tokens. I think the prices have just exploded because of the mount releasing. As someone else mentioned on here, I believe Blizzard just sets a minimum price for tokens.

You can not sell gold to Blizzard

Edit: I stand corrected, you can purchase tokens and turn them into game time, but I didn't know they could be turned into $15 battle net balance. This mount does, indeed, cost less gold than the original Brutosaur (or did before token prices skyrocketed)

Yeah it's always been a status symbol. Nowadays it isn't even that useful because they put auction houses in the expansion cities anyway, so it's basically just a status symbol for people who spend WAY too much time on the auction house. This mount isn't even half as P2W as people would have you believe.
