i love analogies. what if the customer walks in and asks for a cheese pizza, but the store is out of cheese pizza. you are a pizzeria and you do sell pizza but youre just out of their kind. what do you do then?

Then that's a different situation. The analogy is spot on. I've not told anyone to leave, but I have suggested that "this may not be the game for you". I think that's a reasonable (and not unkind) thing to say to someone who really is looking for a different kind of game than what this is. I'm talking about really extreme stuff, though, like saying you don't like the combat mechanics.

Thanks very much, that's quite educational. The next time I'm inviting someone to leave the game, I'll keep your advice about doing my part to self-moderate in mind.

I have a better analogy for you. Let's say Wildstar is a pizzeria. A customer walks in and says "You know what I'd like on my pizza? Pepperoni. It's actually the single most popular style of pizza there is, and strangely, you only have it on your kids' menu. I think you should have it available for the larger sizes of pizza, too!" Then a table full of other customers starts shouting "We like sausage pizza! No pepperoni!" The customer who wants pepperoni pizza tries to explain that really, he isn't trying to remove sausage pizza from the menu, he'd just like to also have the option to have pepperoni pizza. It doesn't matter. The other customers ask him why he hates all pizza. They wonder if he's ever tried any pizza. They ask him to regurgitate a chunk of sausage to prove that he has eaten pizza. They suggest he go find a deli if he loves pepperoni so much. They tell him, incorrectly, that the pizza place advertised that there would only be sausage pizza. They tell him, more correctly, that if people could have pepperoni pizza then sausage pizza wouldn't be nearly as popular at this restaurant as it is. The customer turns to the pizza store owner and says "Wow, really? Is this the kind of business you're looking to attract?" And the owner replies "You could do your part to improve the tone around here too, y'know." That's the pizzeria version of Wildstar. I love analogies. Edit: Added the bit about how those sausage-pizza lovers are adamant that if people could eat pepperoni pizza, there wouldn't be as many people eating sausage pizza. I like the way it makes the analogy even closer to the way this game does business. Edit2: Should I add that the pizzeria doesn't have very many customers, which is quite surprising given how good the dough, pizza sauce, and cheeses are? Or would that be getting a little TOO accurate? I suppose I'll just mention it here.

So how does that apply if the person coming into the sausage pizza restaurant was very vocal about their negative opinion of sausage before going in and asking for pepperoni, and then while inside and having a polite discussion with the sausage loving customers, tells them that everything about sausage is stupid and pointless? Would not the logical and most helpful advice be to recommend a different location that offers excellent pepperoni on their pizza? After all, you decided you didn't like sausage and went to a location that has only ever offered sausage. I think well adjusted people might ask for pepperoni to be offered in addition if that can work into the business model, but asking to replace sausage with pepperoni on your opinions alone is poor form.

Olivar, It's funny that almost any time anywhere when someone is asked to be polite, they start screaming about free speech. Let's get this straight, you and I do not have free speech here. While it may seem like you can say what you want, you cannot. Plus, I think the request to all of us was not to be a douche. If your idea of free speech requires that you behave in that way, then continue on with the free speech argument. Based on what i have seen of your posts in the past, I don't think it does.
