Seperate Balance Issues Board?

mojojojo

<div class="IPBDescription">I'm bored of hearing about it.</div> Why not have a seperate discussion board for Balance issues. It might just encourage people who think they have a better perspective on the game balance than the devs do, but it would mean we wouldn't have to read through all this rubbish over and over again. Half the posts on the suggestions thread aren't ideas, they're just tweaks along the lines of "make the acid rocket less powerful", as if it could never of occured to the developers that they could do this if they wanted to.
I'm just tired of hearing about the balance. The developers know that balance is important, and must watch many games (in spectator mode) to try and figure out how everything in the game works.
Perhaps some interesting or meaningful posts wouldn't sink out of sight if we didn't have all these "Oh yes it is" "Oh no it isn't" threads crowding everything out.

The balance threads are there for the people that like to argue.

We know that.
We want them to be put in a forum of their own though.

Might as well call it the "Wankers and Whiners" forum.

I can't believe the # of people who argue. Seriously, I think there should be a seperate "balance issues" area for people who want to talk about how they feel the game should be balanced.

On a personal note to all the wankers out there:

THE GAME IS BALANCED FINE. Learn to play better. You WILL NOT always win a game. Sometimes you will lose. GET OVER IT YOU WHINING BÅSTÅRDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know its impolite to bump your own thread, but after getting 5 positive replies, but then getting pushed off the front page by the endless stream of new balance threads, I thought Id give it another go.

Shockeh

Or how about those of us (the few) that are hoping that by making <b>suggestions</b> about how to make the mod more enjoyable, or so the players will have incentive to act like the <b>background</b>, rather than the OMFG FADE/HMG/MY LEFT LEG OWNZ PLZ NERF brigade.

All tarred with the same brush? Thanks a lot, guys.

What're we up to? Ah yes.. i 4th the notion. I've put sooo many good ideas across in the suggestions forum. Sooo many interesting questions into the General discussion forum.. and they are always knocked off the screen by seemingly crud topics. General discussion, Strategy, Suggestions, Balance.. sounds good to me.
