Wow, this thread is a monumental effort. At least one of the listed threads is mine. I didn't spam about the lab like some others do, I wrote two threads where I said why I think it sucks and tried to provide well-structured arguments.

I could have written much more about it.. but I didn't. Honestly, I don't think it's worth the effort. When someone writes a well-structured and thought out feedback thread, they are doing GGG a favour. If GGG does not listen to it, that's their problem, not mine.

I said Prophecy league was going to be a failure right from the start and I'm sure GGG has enough data to confirm it by now. Are they going to do something about it? We'll see. The game is theirs to do with as they please. I hope they fix some of the damage so I get more mileage out of the next league, but if they don't, I'm sure I'll find something else to do.

Prophecy was the first league I've ever played where I only made one character. I've completely skipped a lot of leagues but when I play, I usually make around 5 builds, sometimes more. Perandus league was great and I played the hell out of it but I already started feeling the drawbacks of the lab - I spent god knows how many exalts for regret orbs and tried 5 different builds on one pre-leveled character just to minimize the lab running. In Prophecy, with a new and shiny uber lab to add insult to injury, I found myself completely burned out at some point. Didn't even respec my first build, also the first league I didn't go to HC after fooling around in SC. Just quit.
You get a +1 from me but only because youre not spammy. As me and many others pointed out, as you proved by legitimately taking the time to sift through those threads, its a handful of people creating them.

There's a handful of people spamming about the lab all day long and they are responsible for a large number of these threads - but there are many others like me who have just written once or twice about it.

In the end, I'm sure GGG relies on ingame data much more than on forum posts. If their data shows the lab was a good idea, or at least they think so, so be it.

I'm still intensely sceptical of the 'lab haters minority' thing because all my ingame buddies hate it with a passion and they all stopped playing at an early stage of the prophecy league, technical issues and uber lab being stated as the foremost reasons.
You have to be realistic about these things.

Except that isn't what s/he said at all. You just put words in that person's mouth.

If you want to accuse the OP of compiling a list of 200 threads created by "a handful of people," then make the accusation yourself. Don't falsely indicate that someone else has made it for you.

"Okay, 20 authors created 45 threads in the first 130 or so links. Since you think that is interesting I'll add it to the OP. Is there some interesting thing I could say in there?"

Except thats exactly what he admitted when Bars said something about it.

No.
Do you not understand what a handful means, ignoring the fact of the matter which is, its the same users creating mass amounts of these threads ?

200 total threads, 45 created by the same 20 people and they only looked through a portion of them. Its the same handful of people creating them.

AKA insignificant amount of users and a 0.000X% of the population, AKA a handful.

Oh by the way, if you want some math on top of that.

Theres 12 million registered accounts. According to GGG its pretty consistent that only around 1% of players hit maps.

That means that roughly 120,000 players are hitting maps. This would be considered the most active users.

Lets say for one moment that each of those threads were unique users, that means only 200 people posted a complaint. Thats about 0.00167% of 120,000 people who are actively playing.

However, we know that many of those threads are created by the same handful of users, soo in fact it is significantly less than 0.00167%

And by total user standards even less than that. Its a handful of people, stop trying to say it isnt.

Yawn.

Sorry, but your arrogant tone doesn't make your untrue statements magically become true.
