What topics have roused the most ire, focus and discussion over the last couple of years on the Melting Pot?
Well, whilst I’m off on holiday, here’s a look at the posts that have attracted the most comments over the years! As with yesterday’s post, this excludes guides and things that really aren’t interesting any more, but otherwise, here’s the lowdown on what got everyone talking.
Interestingly, there were no roundup or counterpoint posts in this list, unlike yesterday’s – instead, all the discussion was caused by single posts, either written by or featured on the Pot:
- Doone’s warning about how Annual Pass subscribers could lose access to their Diablo 3 characters caused a lot of argument between those who thought it was unfair and those who couldn’t see the problem
- My post from last year wondering just how the Fall of Theramore would play out was wildly off the mark, people still found my speculation very interesting
- Apple Cider Mage’s rant about the term “slut plate” brought out both discussion of the issues and a lot of suggestions for alternative terminiology
- And finally, surprisingly enough, Tobold’s impassioned plea for SWTOR to not have addon capability brought out a surprisingly lengthy and heated debate
Tomorrow we’ll be looking at what the Pot authors themselves have to say! Yes, since various people have said they’d like us to write more from our own perspectives, we’re doing a rundown of some of our favourite Pot editorials.

I am going to be painfully blunt about this…some of these topics were painful enough to deal with the first time around. Unearthing them for a second time isn’t exactly the best thing (imho).
Half the time I think the controversy we see in things is not even controversial or shocking…we just make it seem like its a scandal.
Maybe its just me.
Q
Understood, and I can see your point. Don’t worry, the rest of this week’s posts are mostly on less controversial subjects.
Thanks for letting us know your feelings.
