Hey Dice

No clue if this will ever get read by anyone that matters. But, the forums as you are well aware are generally abusive, troll filled places. There is a lot of arguing, a lot of people complaining that their favorite gun/vehicle was nerfed, or they are killed one to many times by a weapon and they cry foul that it is over powered.

I know that DICE try hard to listen to community feedback, try to listen to what players are screaming at the top of their lungs. Sometimes what is being screamed is not always good, why not create a forum, limited only to experienced players, 500+ Hours played and the rank of 145. Players who post in this forum have played enough of the game to know what works and what doesn't. You won't have every Tom, Dick, or Harry screaming from the sidelines. It might provide a place for healthy debate rather than ignorant arguments.

Just a suggestion.

Cheers

I totally agree, we need a forum where trolling and spam are not allowed and those that do this are banned from.

I Never (hardly ever) read the BF3 forums because they're not moderated in any way.

They are, but the over flow of cry baby kiddies floods the forums.

Please yes. Veteran status or something. Or maybe a way to flag replies.
Enjoy the game. Stop crying and play the game. Lean 2 Play or GTFO

Thanks, kinda surprised that anyone from EA/DICE actually bothered to take an interest. Good to see, would be awesome to get a forum like this off the ground.

I dont whine about nerfs...

In fact Im pretty anti nerf...

Im only colonel 25, but sometimes I feel I understand this game better than some colonel 100s....

Rank and Time played =/= maturity and Intelligence.
You will remember the who, long after the what.

Maturity is a life skill only learned with experience, far too many idiots on here that could not even spell maturity, let alone have it.

This place REALLY needs a proper forum for those that are serious about the game and not into trolling and spamming.

this forum you speak of is called reddit..... Troll posts get hidden instantly. The dice devs also openly talk on the reddit forum as well.

I agree with some of what you said, However its not really fair to say hey DICE only listen to people with this much time put in, I think thats going a bit far im sure most would agree. Its hard figuring out what to listen to an what not to listen to they could attempt an age filter but lets be real 99% of the trolls on here are not really the age there register info says which makes it hard i agree with Andyshole tho the veteran status might be a good solution to the issue but then all they have to do is go to gamestop or a video game seller an buy them which they might not do but ya never really know it really falls on the community to mature an stop trolling an posting every little thing they dont like an only post the problems like the map glitches or the co op dog tag glitch.

I actually agree 100% with what he said. for example Just look at the post stating the patch changes, every second tom dick and harry complaining about the heli's about this and that nerf.... Personally I think the patch brought some badly needed changes to the game's dynamic (only bad change is the friend list limit), but i digress...

If EA / Dice had to listen to everyone on that post for example, the game would get ruined by changes that favour a certain style of play.

If you had a dedicated forum for players with some decent game time, they could discuss meaningful changes to game balance.

Just my 2cents worth...

Yeah this is exactly what I'd like to see, people who know the ins and outs, people who play in comp matches, people who are not abusive having their say in a place that gives DICE a 'go to' area for feedback, without the raging flamers.
