The way I see it, that doesn't change the fact the the game's developers need to address the game's issues as brought forward by the community (the critical part) if they want to retain players, so there isn't any real damage being done. | ||

Loads of low post-count posters (sub 500 posts) trying to claim that a 2 and a half year old game is still going through teething issues, and then worshipping every new patch as if it's a magic bullet--and that's when they're not claiming HOTS (read: 60$ to blizzard) will make everything better. Never underestimate stupid people. I don't think this is a problem really. Assuming this exists here, if they are too overt they will be discovered and banned, if they are too inconspicuous their message will get lost. | ||

I'm gonna say all the people still playing SC2 aren't just being paid by Blizzard tho, so clearly there's lots of people who just make bad choices and then defend them. Actually the same happens on head-fi. Someone makes a stupid purchase and then because there's so many shills telling them they did the right thing, they join in defending it for free even tho it has tonnes of problems. Maybe Blizzard is being run by Chinese scammers lol. | ||

Does being aware of the horrors of scum make people paranoid? Maybe so...But that is the price one must pay to play. | ||

That being said, you don't have to be a "plant" to defend blizzard or SC2. Some people are just more prone to form loyalty to certain brands or teams. When I was a kid it was about liking Nintendo vs liking Sega. I follow Destiny on facebook and whenever, WHENEVER he posts a status about playing league of legends it gets flooded with kids berating him for having "betrayed" Starcraft2. It's crazy. | ||

 And if you look at a thread posted a little bit ago where a guy was like "which cellphone is the best" you can tell that TL users are a big fan of samsung anyways haha. TL only banned him because it was a sneaky thing to do, not really because what he was posting was bad haha. | ||

Governments and private enterprising individuals and organizations do it all the time, often with legitimacy and quote "professionalism" unquote. It's not a phenomenon that's historically absent either, I'm not sure why people don't assume this occurs all the time in the first place. It occurs in real life, so it is even more probable it occurs on internet where you can be in "50 places" at once with only a finger-power AND better anonamity. | ||

It's already commonly accepted fact that media systems and propaganda of all sorts have their own agendas and every person on the street with a loud speaker has their own personal interest or stake. We have entire professions dedicated to lying, fabricating, and defending morally offensive or harmful positions. Why not be afraid and aware of what's right in your face already. | ||
