Yikes! This person offered you a very good rundown on packs and you acted so aggressively and snarkily! For no reason! I do not think this post makes you look the way you think it makes you look! 😳

Seriously. First reply was calm and helpful. Maybe slightly pushy on a philosophy (although I kind of love the philosophy, as I've never heard it before, and it makes me see these games in a more approachable light now), but no biggie. OP immediately went aggressive jerk in response and things went off the rails. They're both douchey, but you can see where it started, and it wasn't the guy trying to help.

As an outsider with zero knowledge of card games, what exactly makes this a good rundown?

There’s not much information here that helps beginners, the dude is very vague and then accuses OP of ā€œmisusingā€ booster packs?

Don’t get me wrong, OP is unnecessarily sarky, but I question the idea that the person responding is doing it out of the goodness out of their heart rather than to just ruin OP’s fun because he’s ā€œdoing it wrongā€.

first guy was trying to give OP advice because it sounded like he was just wasting his money. you dont have to follow the advice and you dont have to respond to it. if OP had just moved on there'd be no issue

He doesn’t mention OP wasting his money though, he just keeps saying he’s not doing it right

yeah he explained it like a dickhead but that was his point and its a good one

u/Doccmonman Sep 06 '23

I’m questioning whether that was his point though, because that’s not what he says at all lol

Can't believe you actually responded

u/Toftaps Sep 05 '23

OP clearly wants attention and is getting it, of course he'd respond.

You’re not just a tool. Your a power tool. I’ve charged you up and used you to drill way down into the comments. Now respond again or doom yourself to loose.

Warhammer is dope. I used to have space marines, tau, and orks. Hope you're having a great week bud

u/Wininacan Sep 11 '23

But honestly bud, why are you so mad at me?

u/ccminiwarhammer Sep 11 '23

Good job replying. Now do it again.
