I mean, there are multiple person in this entire thread replying "dont understand your problem".....so maybe its more of a communication issue and less of everyone else being a jerk?
He asked for an opinion
A bunch of people gave him a solution to a problem
Problem != Opinion
He did not ask "hey how do I get around this stona problem"
Hence the whole misunderstanding.
Asking for an opinion and receiving unrequested solutions to a problem is a very common issue on online communication, because we're all giant nerds that thing of the world in "problems to solve". But sometimes there's no problem to solve, and by attempting to do so you're only missing the point of the question in the first place, leading other people to pitch in other aspects of the solution, diluting the original point even further.
Like that one time when I asked somebody
"hey I think I can melee on smn/sam on this NM, does anybody have insight into that?"
"Yes, sub /rdm, call tank trusts and AC Flaming Crush"
"no but I want to try meleeing"
"but zerging it is faster and safer"
"okay ty but I want to melee"
and then the discussion degenerated to arguing that AC zerg is faster than smn melee. No ***it's faster, it's just not what I was trying to do for some reasons that I did not choose to share.
And even if they're shitty reasons, it's still my sub and I am entitled to be dumb with it if I want, for shits and giggles if nothing else.
