The official Blizzard forums for Diablo 4 are toxic as hell (pun intended) (kbin.social)

I wanted to get some tips on Rogue and hopefully some build ideas, and holy Tyrael, is that place a cesspool of toxicity. If you havent played the game, from the opinions of the locals you’d had thought this game is the worst thing since WW2, every class is basically unplayable and unless you can steamroll bosses 20+ higher than you in nightmare dungeons, your opinion is basically worthless. Any interesting discussion gets swamped by trolls and unconstructive spiteful comments. I had to stop going there because I felt it actually impacted my enjoyment of the game.

Anyone else had the same experience with the official forums?

A ton of gaming forums attract a lot of toxicity for some reason. If you ever browse the Steam Discussion forums for a multiplayer game, you'll see the same toxicity. I don't know what it is with gaming culture these days, but it's frankly awful. I can't even point it out without being labeled a boomer lol. People have this weird need to dunk on others. Whatever happened to just having fun with a game?

That's mostly because the majority of people writing in a forum are people who are unhappy with the game. People who are satisfied are playing the game instead of writing in a forum.
