One big problem with the forums as they are right now is also that not only does low level players argue against higher level ones but they also sometimes ignore high level posts and spam threads so that good advice gets lost. I wouldn't be surprised if TL allready had something along these lines in mind though. TL staffers have alot of great ideas but it's not allways easy to get something physically done. | ||

This way bronzies and other noobs could still post, but you would know how much to value an opinion from such a low ranking player. Player's profile? As I said previously, I have access to about 4-7~ accounts which are all 1400-1600 P/T/Z players and I, myself, play 1500 Protoss and all I do is 4 gate every game. Rating =/= Skill Rating =/= Intellect Rating =/= Knowledge Elitism is a plague of many games, don't let it affect SC2 as well. | ||

So you DON'T want a forum that you can go and read and be confident that 90%+ of the information is accurate and vetted? You'd rather have a bunch of people who (like you said about yourself) have no idea what they are talking about discuss this stuff? No one is talking about taking away the regular forum, just adding a sub-forum that would be exclusive to people who know what the fuck they are talking about. Sportscenter doesn't invite guys who play flag football at church on Sunday to discuss football, why would TL invite bronze level players who admit to ignorance to help participate in high level discussions? | ||

The irony of this would be that I'm actually higher ranked than you even though I have like 400 unused bonus points as I'm waiting for the patch to ladder. :D | ||

That being said, fuck you OP - just because I don't have 1000 games played doesn't mean that I can't contribute to a discussion. Of course, I'm also one of those people that know when to stay the fuck out of a discussion, or at least preface my response with "I'm a shitty gold player, but here are my thoughts..." THEY (pro-gamers) deserve a forum for sure...but really, your 1200 points diamond don't really mean sweet fuck all either...the way the ladder is setup, you could just be some useless scrub that cheesed his way to the top. Yawn. | ||

If you can reach 1300 on starcraft 2 (relative to lets just use select as a refrence point of 1900) then yes you are a "pro" in the casual definition. You are by no means tournament level pro or global level but a pro none the less. No you're not. No one calls somone of that skill caliber a pro, that's utterly ridiculous. And people rarely, if ever, use what you're insinuating is the "casual definition" of pro, which is "a really good player." Pro is almost exclusively used if you are either trying to make a career out of it or are somehow making money at it, not "pretty good but definitely not tournament level." | ||

Its not like they will be some perfect intellectual conversation on starcraft if this happens But just WATCHING this kind of conversation can be so educational. We don't know everything, neither do they, but by discussing it, they can come to much more meaningful conclusions than someone with 25 games under their belt who's trying to argue that an Ultra rush is a viable early game Zerg strat. | ||

A pro gamer sub-forum where only the public can read would be awesome, but in reality pros don't post that much because they have more important things to do like practice and win tournaments. "Most" pros don't complain about balance or at least make it very vocal. They see what tools they have (current SC2 balance and mechanics) and abuse/use them to their fullest potential. So ultimately a sub-forum full of only high quality posts/responses would be sweet, but unrealistic. | ||

I want "lowbies" to be able to post, I would also like to know the rank of the people giving out advice as if they know everything about the game. This is coming from a ~1000 Protoss (Im not trying to be an elitist as I know I am not great) | ||

If you want high level players/posters/proplayers to post I think the community rather should step back and not do as they've done before to players. Mostly when you see a progamer or a big namer, or someone who knows what they are talking about, the masses kinda overwhelm or a group just either troll them, making fun of what they are saying. Just look at seth's thread he made, it was a really good, it was kinda detailed and probably one of the greater posts ( in my opinion) about how to handle TvZ at that time. (other great ones magic box and such). But still there were people calling him bronze level player or players just ignore and started trolling. If I were a progamer, I would refrain from posting as well seeing how the community treats the better players sometimes. | ||
