| Sep 8, 2017 at 7:44 | comment | added | SevenSidedDie Mod | @Ἄρτεμις The question didn't attract unusual attention because of your meta-gold ideas. The question attracted unusual attention because a) it was unfocused and complex, full of assumptions and assertions that rightly belong in answers, not questions, b) it kept changing, c) the question/comments devolved into trying to convince people to accept the question's assumptions and ideas. That sort of situation will encourage people to start trying to help fix the question, but also tends to prevent that help from being effective, drawing it out into a long, fruitless process. | |
| Sep 8, 2017 at 3:57 | comment | added | Ἄρτεμις | When I look at samplings of the highly-voted questions on this site, there are endless "moved to chat" and the ends of questions and answers. This question seemed to attract an unusual amount of attention because of the meta-matter of gold in games. It would have been left as a duplicate, then people start saying, "change this and ill vote to re-open," "change this, almost there," "OK it's there!" <locked by sevensideddie>. People choose to participate, everyone could have done something else, it was closed you could have ignored it and moved on. | |
