I think it's a lil bit of both lol
You quoted me but I don't really understand what any of this has to do with what I said.
Personally, I don't think this complaint has anything to do with the OP's suggestion. I completely agree with you that more things should be affected by you performing well, by taking castles / towns, or personally slaying dozens of men on the battlefield, etc. But I think you could solve that without removing the early game where you're a nobody trying to earn some respect.
Subjective, sure. Apparent to any reasonable person, also yes. The fact that you are not a reasonable person is no concern of ours.
lmao absolute galaxy brain take
I hope that's true. I'd really like to see a detailed breakdown of what systems they have in place and what systems they hope to implement as time goes on for punishments.
I'm talking about inside the game.
Hey, I'm not really interested in arguing about why it makes me feel unwelcome in a gaming community if the company behind the game implicitly endorses hate speech. Just know that it does, and that most normal people feel the same way. That is the choice being made -- cater to racists and other bigots, or have a community where the rest of us feel welcome. That's all.
It's possible that Valve has started to clean up a bit better -- I know Riot has with League. Which only proves my point more. When you actually focus on banning these people, the problem improves. Surprising!
Look at games like League, or DotA, or Warband to see how that "tiny percentage" runs rampant when you don't do anything to suppress it.
Is there? It looks pretty representative. Opinions in the thread generally seem to range from "paradox's dlc policy is bad" to "paradox should literally be nuked from orbit" and there are 34 votes against a paradox-style dlc policy vs 23 in favor. The majority is represented in this thread.
Yes, that's the result of letting racists know they're perfectly welcome to take everything over by refusing to ban them. That's why these people should start catching bans. It really does work. The idea that they'll just get louder and more obnoxious and start flooding everywhere else if you stand up to them has been disproven many, many times. They're cowards, first off, and lazy in addition. They might make a bit of noise as soon as the bans start coming out, but if you hold firm they generally go away. If they're not welcome in Bannerlord's multiplayer they'll all filter back out to the various multiplayer games that do welcome them, and good riddance.
