Thanks for all the fish

I'd recommend not icing out new users with the dark souls 'git gud' paraphrase as you're killing many younger and casual users whom will avoid FG and spread that word to avoid it.

I think that's a bit of an extreme statement. In the vast majority of cases the community helps users out and is very friendly. We always try to welcome new users and try to help them along. There's no "killing many younger and casual users..." that I'm aware of and I'm concerned where that opinion comes from?

I must admit the last but one post is the first in this thread that has actually got to the point of calling people stupid. Prior to that we're discussing the simple truths of people making purchases on the Internet - and you can't deny that there are people who will not read information properly and make all sorts of assumptions. And in all of the cases that have been raised on these forums the community has addressed the issue in a friendly and informative manner. I don't think things are anywhere near as dark as you think...

I think everything that needs to be said on this topic has been said. I'm going to go ahead and close this thread.

We appreciate both sides of the argument, and we will continue to try to provide the best guidance we can provide to new users.

Cheers,

Note to posters - I don't think we should be calling anyone stupid. We can point out areas where they should have researched better, came to the forums to ask questions, etc.. But please don't be calling people stupid. Thanks.
