Has anyone else noticed the rise in people with either fairly new accounts/little to no posts? They're out here sharing some fair opinions, some things that are downright wrong, bumping threads, there's a lot of bumping in recent times, of course by a lot I mean a couple, but that is still a lot.

There's nothing wrong with it, but why are they all flocking in right now?

    I would say burner accounts for controversial opinions, otherwise probably just someone new who doesn't know how to change their icon

    New chapters do draw in more players which leads to more players finding out about the forums.

    It is irritating to see people think they know how something works and it shows their lack of understanding on the topic. A good example is all these Mori posts when anyone that has been here for a long time and has looked into rework posts know that there wasn't really a better nerf to Mori's, pretty much every other idea had a big flaw or didn't do enough/did too much.

    We are also getting a good old "DC remove pls" post practically every other day from players new and old not liking that they can't rage quit and they come here to whine about it.

    Haven’t gotten the usual “Goodbye Forever” first time post yet this week either, surprisingly... unless I missed it, idk.

    It happens regularly whenever there's a new Chapter release or when something is changed in the game.

    Also, a lot are not new accounts, they've been created for quite some time but maybe the poster felt this was the time for them to post something instead of lurking.

    I think I saw 2, one today and one yesterday but I am too lazy right now to dig them up. But there were two posts about stuff X is unacceptable so I will quit. The one from today was about the rework of autohaven.
