hyperbole, but sure, thanks for sharing your opinion with us. That's not what hyperbole means. ok, so all polls on these forums are biased, got it. A hyperbolic statement is an exaggeration of fact that is not meant to be taken seriously (look it up). I offered my opinion on the polls that I have seen, not each and every poll on the forum. That is not hyperbole, nor is it a statement intended to include all polls. It is an opinion."Hyperbole, from a Greek word meaning "excess," is a figure of speech that uses extreme exaggeration to make a point or show emphasis. It is the opposite of understatement."Your definition of "hyperbolic statmen"t is also correct though. Since its not my native language i need to trust you on this (its translated to exaggeration in my language) So my posting should have been Ty for your anectotical obervation (i looked it up to make sure) then.

What a horrible poll.„Choose A or suffer“

After derailing this threat with the „what does meta actually mean“ debate....Could we derail further and stop calling damage dealers (ddˋs) damage per seconds (dps). Much appreciated!

From my experience, people with no prior cm knowledge have no idea how to burst, do 1-2k dps and then brag about being the last person alive even if the boss would take 30min with a party full of such players.Most high kp groups do the fractal already without any heal saving 5-6min compared to the average party. How do you filter out people that are not used to play without a dedicated healer? so you saying the guy that did 2k dps stayed alive while your KP players died and it's his fault? O - M - GYes, since in „those groups“ the consent of people that play is:Kill the target as fast as possible before it kills you. If there is someone lacking on dps, the whole scenario falls apart, and often enough the last one standing is in fact the reason the other 4 players died.Im not saying this is valid for all groups, but this is the most common tactic used. But you would need to have enough exp in this content/playstyle to understand that.

Its not discrimination. Its not Inclusive at best.Please dont Overuse words like harresment, discimination, etc. because they already lost enough meaning and Thats hurting the „real fight“ Yes, but even Anet is calling it discriminatory, their words not mine. Yet the dictionary disagrees. Did they make a statement, or was that an individual on a livestream? Source? Cameron Rich, the Fractal and Raids guy, on the livestream made that statement near the end of the stream. 1:27:27 mark Ty for the mark :) "kind of discriminate...."Vague statement as I suspected. He also talks about ppl should still be able to make sure they get the right experienced level of fellow party members."there are better ways then kps" - > "titles, going through gear (?)"

Being able to choose who I want to play with based on a (not perfect) variable (kp,etc) has nothing to do with discrimination.IF I would not want to play with you because you are a women, gay, Australian,.... would be, but that’s not for debate. And putting it on, even just verbally the same status like the others is borderline insulting to people facing „real discrimination“. I understand that you want define what those words mean by yourself, but i would prefer to base it on the Dictionary meaning, WITHOUT interpreting it in you own way aswell. Otherwise a discussion without a common ground is useless. Sry You making the assumption that me, who „does not allow everyone in my party“ is also likely be part in one of your scenarios, is ironically, prejudice itself. It’s look? Is this a desperate attempt To make it look like discrimination?I „judge“ on proof of experience. By your definition every cv would be a judge on look. Again, I stick with the deictonary definition. For the rest pretty much what @maddoctor.2738 already said.

It's not a 'nanny state', it's a government body looking out for its citizens. It's their job to make sure that gambling isn't in video games that are easily accessible to children. Nothing 'nanny state' about it. I disagree. nanny statenouna government perceived as authoritarian, interfering, or overprotective. Parents should be responsible for their children. Not the government. Parents ARE still responsible for their children.Gov. Just makes the guidelines. Alcohol laws.Tabac laws.Minimum driving ages.Sexual consent minimum age.Generell abuse/beatingAnd yet, despite those laws, these things happen anyway. A deviant person will, by definition, go against his/her society's morals and rules. Fortunately, for many societies, these deviants represent a very small minority. Should those societies continue to make rules and laws that oppress the majority's freedoms while the deviants would continue to go against them anyway? Yes, they do, but are ILLEGAL because of those laws, and can be proseccuted = good thing in my opinionAnd please do not ignore that those laws are not only valid for privat persons, they also count for companys which some are already operating without ethics. Only Profit counts.Where am i am opressed when im not allowed to sell a minor a pack of Cigaretts? Where am i opressed that my child can´t legally gamble? Where am i opressed that i cant beat someone else? That has nothing to do with your so called freedom.Do you feel opressed because there are so strict securtiy protocols on many airports? As you said, only a tiny minority is responsible for those. You ok with that? Again, you are not getting the point.Look on all those parents feeding their childen with absolutly sugar infestet shit. Its unhealty but legal so companies target especially children with it. Congrats for beeing the most obese, sry, i mean free country!You can look up how advertisement works on children/teenagers. There is a reason why there ary psychologists working in marketing companies. (im not even touching the subject with which techniques adults are targetet)And you have advertisements literally everywhere in this age. You forget that everyone has his own definition of right or wrong, thats why we need a common ground (law).The goverment DOES NOT disipline the children!It protects the childen legally that others who are trying to make the child do/take/whatever something that is beside this goverments society norm are punished.In those cases the PARENTS or OTHER ADULTS/COMPANIES are the ones dicsiplined. You still seam to think that laws are telling you how to raise children and are dictating your children what to do and whats not to doMy simple line was there to signal you that those laws are there to ptotect your children from outside sources like other adults and companies. Yes, those rules are in fact established by the majority by electing (literally called) Lawmakers.Again, wrong definition from your side.I have the same controll over my life in my socialist country than you, BUT im also more protected in some ways from companies that might wan´t to harm me to make more profits.Stricter Gambling lawsStrict food related laws (ingridient list)Strict pricing laws (xx€/kg, for comparission in the supermarket)In "compensation" we got:Legal drinking age is 16 same as tabaccoDrug possesion might get you a fineGay marriageAbortionTip whatever you likeAlmost like Freedom

your "exeption" is 90% of this games content if we include the story aswell, which is so casual that is almost an interactive novel/movie.nothing in gw2 is irrelevant (or relevant, depends on how you see it)same rewards for people autoatacking and people with super fast fingers.

Just type -sell -whatever to filter it yourself. Popupblock activatedNot saying it’s generally speaking a bad idea, but an easy instant fix.

Without these laws some companies would sell a minor alcohol/tabac... no questions asked, without legal consequences.You can’t Lock up your kids at home till they are 18/21, neither should you. These laws are rather „I will protect your children from....“ then „you have to protect your children from...“ Your nanny state opinion always baffles me, and I am really wondering where it’s coming from. In EU you would be quite the minority, and I never spoke to someone with that mindset, so it would be really interesting to hear.

The title could also be a big fat red hering. Do not overthink this to much.
