Are We Wasting Our Time?

To be fair, if this is what happened, I doubt Camate is very happy about it either. I don't envy the position he's been put in right now.

Who cares its bst? Not like it mattered if they went by the JP poll and not the US one. Probably were lazy and didn't want to have to tally up all the votes in the US one.

I care about BST. Get out with that nonsense.

[Selzak]

I don't understand your logic. You linked to a graph showing considerably more people online during JP prime time as proof that there are more non-JP players. Note the poll was also taken while much of Japan was still recovering from the Tsunami.

JP prime time is around midnight their time? Here's the census from 2009 if you think the Tsunami actually skewed the numbers that bad.

I'm just curious, do any of you people actually enjoy the game?

I do, and I'm even happy with the Hippogryph. I do not accept the way it was chosen though, and I don't think any English-speaking player (and especially poster on this board) should let this slide. You can put your head back in the sand now.

To be fair, if this is what happened, I doubt Camate is very happy about it either. I don't envy the position he's been put in right now.

Like I said in the other thread, I bet they try to pin this on him. He seems like the only one who attempts to include us in the discussion, and I guess that makes him treasonous, or a NAlover or something.


Think about it. The only communication we get are translations from the JP boards, posted in the most relevant place the admins can find to put it. They're completely ignoring us.


e: Turns out the population fact was true though my b.

Actually i think camate jobs is to pretend s-e has communication with their NA(dunno if he does EU boards too) playerbase, but when you read closely any of the community posts reps, its pretty obvious who runs the show...and its not us.


Also its not like jp favoritism is new, its been like that since day one of the game and i wouldn t be surprised that ithey wouldn t give a sh*t if all their NA/EU playerbase quit...they d still keep the game running for the japanese and laugh.

As I put in a drk topic:

英語プレーヤーは電機子です！あなたの愚かな質問には答えれることはありません！ w

(|Japanese|) only.
(|English|) (|head|) (|Diseased|) (|Amateur|) w

Sorry but thats how it seems to be, the Japanese will always be preferred over English speaking players, thank you xenophobia.


Yeah when I saw the results I was surprised since the scorp got lots of votes (it would make a great DD pet) but not surprised when I learned that Hippo won cause of the jp players...

And THAT would be when they actually open up those unknown but always talked about areas. "ps2 rimitations" my ass.

I didn't really think that this required explaining any further, but maybe you didn't actually look at the graph yourself. The peak is from ~6pm-midninght JST. Use a straight edge to follow the line up from midnight to see that the peak is already in a steep decline by that point (somewhat ironically, this point is even more prominent in the 2009 census that you linked to further press your point!?).

Further to that, at midnight JST (in April) it's 16:00 GMT, 11:00 EST, 08:00 PST. I look forward to hearing how you claim that any of these zones are more likely to be finishing their peak times at these times of day...
Or perhaps your argument is that the majority of the non-JP players are actually based in Mumbai or Bankok?

[Yarly]

you're wasting your time. now you know, what are you going to do about it?

i wouldn t be surprised that ithey wouldn t give a sh*t if all their NA/EU playerbase quit

why don't you quit then?

[MDenham]

you're wasting your time. now you know, what are you going to do about it?

Have several thousand protesters in Port Jeuno?

While all the JP players run around having fun without us... I suppose /sh and /yell spam FTW?

[Helel]

I don't play BST, and I actually don't care whether BST gets scorp or hippo, however, I would like to lend my support in this matter. This bias or whatever needs to stop now before it gets worse and people stop posting here altogether. What would be funny though is for all the NA people to start posting on the JP boards.
