Dear Community of Atys,
I voted on this poll for many reasons. In order to not be accused of anything, I will disclose all of them: firstly and foremost, Talkirc is one of my friends, both in game and out, and this post is a crappily veiled response to his. I am not saying that Irfidel is necessarily trying to harm Talk- in fact, I hope she is trying to gather support for him. However, this should have been done out in the open.
A second reason is I have only played the game for about a week and a half, and though I am in no danger or quitting as long as the game is up, I have seen so much negativity and bickering from the Atysian community that I am starting to get really fed up and annoyed every time I play.
The third and final reason I am posting this is because I both agree and disagree with -both- sides of this issue. To Talk's defense, I believe that information should be available to those who want it. To the defense of those opposed to this sharing of information, I enjoy the game partially because I enjoy its difficulty and it's immense, amazing complexity. However, to say that people cannot ignore a clearly labelled spoiler, or that it's impossible to not remember a string of five integers strung together for an occ. recipe, is either delusional or just a cop out.
Now, to explain my reasons for each of my clicks:
Yes)
I think that information should be shared freely.
Yes, there are players who cannot ask others)
Without naming any names, there are certain players who are just unable to ask others for help- whether it be due to psychological issues or mere pride, they just cannot do it.
Yes, some information really cannot be found elsewhere)
I want to qualify this statement: Some information cannot be found elsewhere without knowing where to look. As such, you still have to ask pointed questions, which some people just cannot do.
Yes, all Ryzom information should be available in game)
I think that all information should be available to those who desire it. It's just a basic premise of my value system.
Other)
The Ryzom community is, arguably, stagnant... If the inherent difficulty is an issue to some potential players, and they see that the Ryzom community is open and willing to help out, then they may come in anyway. I do not believe that the very existence of this poll leads one to believe that this community is open and/or willing to help out.
To explain the non-clicked areas:
No)
I do not believe that information should be hidden, and I also think that there is no reason to, honestly, make a s***-fit over sharing some harmless information.
No, I want to discover it all myself)
I do not believe this affects your ability to do so.
No, threads are hard to ignore over time)
I believe that this is purely a cop out.
No, some information cannot be forgotten once read)
Bull feces for a string of integers, and there is a spoiler warning so just don't read it!
I do not care at all)
I do care, mostly because of Talk, but also because this issue has affected me personally due to negativity about the community directed towards me personally.
Abstain)
I did not abstain because this is an important issue.
So, dearest Ryzom community, I implore you to read my points and to consider them carefully.
Thank you all,
Luciel.
