What is going on?

[FluffNStuff]

It seems like everytime someone makes a new idea, people keep mocking and criticizing it! EVERYONE STOP IT! Right now! This is getting annoying! For real! Why can't we just work together and make new ideas. PEOPLE PLEASE READ THIS THREAD. Wake up to your dam sense and stop this freaking nonsense. Forums is a dark place because some of you can't keep your mouths shut sometimes! Honestly! I don't care if this thread makes people mad! People need to stop. START FRESH! Yes we are human. But humans have common sense. People are quitting because of this. Everyone has a right to post. Don't mock people or criticize them, or provoke them. I'm fed up with it. You guys are mostly adults, yet sometimes you act like children. C'mon! Stop the madness, get your head together.

I am not sure how far you have gotten in your Social Studies classes and whether you are familiar with the term Lobbyist. It is a person or more often now a group that attempts to influence legislation to benefit their group. They are not inherently bad but they do have an agenda and that is to benefit a certain sector of the economy. When a player makes a suggestion about the game more often then not they are lobbying and have an agenda. If this suggestion is one that would benefit ALL players then this is generally welcomed by the community. If it is a suggestion that is designed to benefit a certain sector of the economy, then naturally the other players that are members of this sector will rally behind that suggestion and players that are not a member of that sector will attempt to lobby their own position. There is also the issue of the Vocal Minority vs the Silent Majority. The players on the forums are only the tip of the community iceberg, but they are the most vocal ones calling for different changes. The majority of players are currently in game playing the way it currently is and they are the ones most affected by the changes to the economy. it is the reason that all suggestions that are economy related need to be vetted to ensure that any good they cause will not be dwarfed by the collateral damage and this is done by players of all sectors challenging it to see if it stands up.
