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?

I think generally speaking game specific communities are toxic.

I wouldn't necessarily say that. What I would say is that online communities have a tendency to bias towards toxic without heavy-handed moderation.

The simple fact is that people who aren't toxic don't want to be around people who are. So if there aren't moderators keeping out the toxic people (or at least, stamping out the attitude specifically) then after a while the only people left in the community with be the toxic ones.
