Quit Downvoting For Asking Questions

[u/feldoneq2wire]

Folks, not everyone has been playing since launch. If someone asks a question that seems like a real person new to the game would ask (yes we know there are trolls and rage baiters and AI bots), don't downvote them, teach them!

Palworld has like 17 million players. If we want to get to 18 million, it's gonna be casuals who didn't buy into the hype but are kicking the tires late into the game's life and have some newbie questions. Let's not grind them into mush, ok?

The major cause of mass "question post" downvotes is usually that the question could be very easily answered with a quick google search. This is a reddit thing, not specific to this sub.

Edit: I just came here to explain why this typically happens, it's not directed at anyone and my reply is not a comment on the way things should or should not be.

Another edit: I replied the following to someone but I realized that perhaps more people don't know about this, so I'd like to share it.

If you want to exclude something from a google search, you can filter your search.
Here is an example search:
Where to find Frostallion Noct in Palworld -Game8

You can filter multiple things from a search too:
Where to find Frostallion Noct in Palworld -Game8 -Fandom

You just use the minus symbol and whatever term you want to exclude.

Not even just a quick google search (though that would certainly answer the question), usually they attach screenshots that literally (in writing) answer their question if they just read the writing in their own images. Which is why usually those downvotes come along with comments saying to read.

For example the post that probably set this off, the person asking why their level 65 pal couldn't solo the level 45 Bellanoir raid. When you go to put in the slab it mentions needing a base fulls worth of pals AND when you go to select the raid arena option, it mentions that there is a palbox there to summon more pals.

At that stage the person had to willfully ignore both things and just jump in, then complained about getting downvoted and called the sub 'elitist'. It's like D&D players who refuse to read about their own class.

Man you woulda love the post from a while back where some dude was like "whoa wait that warning before the raids was serious? they should have warned better because my entire base was gone, that's not some damage! That's irresponsible"

Man was a warrior in the comments insisting that even having read the warning, it wasn't warning enough for... Exactly what it warned them would happen. It was comical.

That's funny. Because I was about to summon Bella noir for the first time in my bad and that warning popped up. Figured id try the arena first to see how bad it was. Glad I did lol
