I have in no way patronized you. Trying to incorrectly apply words such as that just makes you look desperate with your argument. So, by your logic, the thing that is keeping you from playing is the BBS arguments of late. They really just started getting bad in recent weeks. What kept you from subscribing before that, when everything was hunky dory, and on a dull roar here so far as dissent on the BBS goes? Answer that if you would. Did you anticipate more "cesspool" arguments happening in the future, and did that keep you from pulling the trigger on re subscribing? You're just using the fact that you don't subscribe as a convenient excuse IMO to fit your argument, as you should have subscribed by your own reasons when the BBS was quelled of all negative waves during periods of time.
Let me guess - your next contention is that the BBS has been SO bad for such a long period of time, you just couldn't possibly subscribe and play, because some of that might spill over into the game itself.
Tell you what - I'll pay for your sub for 3 months tomorrow, I'll call it into HTC whenever you like. You can then come back and report how talk in the game, on channels you yourself have to actually tune into (ie choice), and how much what's said there runs concurrent with all the negativity of the forums, and post screen shots and the like to prove it. You see, the hole in your argument is the same as here - in game it's a choice to listen to 99% of the "negative" stuff - you can simply tune most of it out, and be at peace if that's your thing.
I suppose the other way to go is Skuzzy PNG's the reaming few people even talking about this, as most of those arguing about it (not me I never even posted in the 12 hour thread, I don't even use my account right now, and could care less about side switching) are already gone. So, by your statements, what's been keeping you "out" will be gone. You should have your credit card ready for tomorrow right, if all the "dissent", and the "cesspool" is gone, right? How do I somehow doubt it.
