The problem is that today I'm convinced that if those 10 people weren't on the forums for a few days, half of negative reactions would magically disaspear. Another interesting thing could be to not show the negative reactions in the first hours to encourage the debate instead of nip it in the bud. Today a lot of people are afraid to freely speak up. The Youtube's approach of hiding dislikes forever is interesting too (and I don't speak about some gimmicks with adblockers to hide them). Why would it need to be validated? Further, why does it even matter? I've had all kinds of reactions to posts here, and none of them particularly stand out, because at the end of the day they have no bearing on what I said, nor on what I think. I don't allow other people to define me, and so, when they react, it's for them, and has no effect on me. I don't care if my opinions are "popular" or not, I'm not big on being a people pleaser, and so I don't need others to validate me. 3 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krzysztof.5973 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I'm still amazed how some of you get about your daily lives if a confused emoji on some vidiya game forum triggers you to this extent 😥 4 6 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anvar.5673 Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 (edited) I guess I was right about anything but keep your head in the sand I guess.

I consider them to by unnecessary screen clutter that does not add anything relevant to what ever post that they are being applied to. As for attaching names to them, what happens when you have 30 to 40 sad and confused emojis to go through to ask them why? 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vayne.8563 Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Every confused vote is mine. Problem solved. Actually, I don't have a horse in this race. I wouldn't mind if people knew I was behind the confused votes I do, and I do use it much like a downvote most of the time. There used to be a downvote on this forum and I liked it better. But the community is using it as a what the kitten are you talking about button, and I'm falling in with that. I think it makes sense. There aren't enough posts that legitmately confuse me for an emote of that to be necessary and for the ones that exist, it's simple enough to ask for clarification. 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone is different. Getting 30 notifications in a few seconds because one guy don't like you is not very healthy too, and any form of harassment should be avoided.

Such an experiment would be highly subjective. 30 notifs of confused emoji would not affect me in the least. Heck, I even have notifs turned off. And I know that I have my own fan base here, but I don't let it bother me.

That's not wrong too (even if I disagree to call people "snowflakes") but I think removing tendencious emojis would fit more with the openness philosophy of the studio. That's why I sincerely request the team and the @Forum Moderator.3419 to conduct real tests.

There is a new team in charge of Guild Wars 2, with a new Game Director, after all. Maybe they will have a different opinion.

If the developers have another opinion about that form of harassment and doesn't agree with the calling harassed people "snowflakes", it will prevail. Some reactions lead to nothing but only generate trolling and harassment. We will see but at least I would have tried to make things better.

Zebulous.2934 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 To my mind the reason people want to see the names behind emojis is so that they know who to harass next. Some people want to emotionally abuse others, but they also want some excuse to justify it. Displaying the names behind the emojis provides such a person with a hit list. It works with positive emojis as well. A belligerent player can decide to harass every player who gave a heart or a thanks to a post that they personally disagree with. Shouting "coward" at an anonymous reaction? Why? Because you want to know who they are. Why else taunt them so that they reveal themselves to you? Because you want to punish them. So no, I don't believe that emojis should display names. Humans are entirely too spiteful and vindictive. 5 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si los desarrolladores tienen otra opinión sobre esa forma de acoso y no están de acuerdo con llamar a las personas acosadas "copos de nieve", prevalecerá. Algunas reacciones no llevan a nada sino que solo generan trolling y acoso. Veremos, pero al menos habría intentado hacer las cosas mejor. go as far as your opinion has come with that some faces hurt hahaha, I think I should turn off the internet and go out and live life? Suppose that at least they will take your idea to eliminate emoticons and also the surveys because of what you mentioned? If we now think that going to vote for a candidate and yours loses is a hate crime?🥲 Edited August 10, 2023 by Derktarlms.6213 totalitarianism 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tere.4759 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 (edited) Absolutely not. I completely disagree with putting id tags on emojis.

Cuks.8241 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I wouldn't mind if emojis would have a name behind them. But I don't really care also, it's just a game forum. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
