Judging by how Graatch is phrasing everything, he's clearly trying to provoke negative responses, whether he'd admit it or not. That in itself provokes negative feelings from me, as I hate when people are being such utter asses while veiling it in supposedly civil words.

Which is why I sometimes play 'clean up crew' and respond to things that don't seem to warrant Immortal responses, yet I think should be made clear in case someone just doesn't get it.

You (Graatch) may not think you're entitled to everything, but you certainly act like you're entitled to more than you actually are. I'm honestly amazed that you've gotten any positive attention with this at all.

Exactly. Stating intent to converse with players does not entitle any player to insist on such conversation when no staff member (Immortal) cares to take part. Also, if none care to take part, there's a reason, so quit pushing them and pissing them off. In pissing the staff off, you piss off plenty of the players, and create a general ill will that does nobody any good whatsoever.

>>But again, you are being confrontational and angry for no reason,
>>and making what was a simple question into a fight. You shouldn't.

And here's Graatch assuming he knows how someone else feels and what their motivation is. Honestly, Graatch, perhaps you should analyze your own feelings and motivations, you seem to want an argument.

Some reasoning behind this: If you're as actively reading and posting on the forums as Zulgh, Valg, or even myself, just reading takes a huge amount of time. Posting responses just adds to that, no matter how short the response might be. So, in the interest of saving time for more important things, replies are often only made when a reply is absolutely needed, not just when one is asked for.

Precisely. Another example of Graatch reading emotions that weren't there into Zulghinlour's words. The autopost does what was asked, and in that context would be quite a polite consideration, regardless of how sarcastic the comment about the autoposting might be. It saves time, and gives a response, but isn't exactly useful.

Graatch, quit trying to provoke people, it's not working. I suspect you took a few courses on speaking with people, to the point that you think you can use a few clever words to try and convince them of anything you want. Sorry, no matter how many classes or seminars you attend, it doesn't work how you'd like it to.
