Yoshi-P: Flippant dismissal of player criticism is a poor look for a lead developer.

I think it's just a form of dark humor that really stemmed from how attached to the aesthetic that this community is.

Some people are really obsessive over trying to attach malice where no malice is really present.

but hes right tho

I think they should joke about all the things they removed from Scholar or Astrologian

Such is the risk that is run when relying on fan translations for player live letters, I suppose. Not that people wouldn't read into things what they wished anyway, but official translations would go some way to, well, get across little nuances like a facetious or lighthearted tone, especially if the translators had a "loose script" to go over before the event.

There were already people in the Twitch chat complaining it wasn't enough the second it was announced.

I like the words "flippant" and "dismissal"

I mean, sure. But the glamour system design has been a sore point for the community for literal years now. To joke about never fixing it is a bit on the nose.

I'm not impressed with more space. They keep saying they can't overhaul the glamour system, they can't move the dresser blah blah blah server strain but here is a private island with a whole new inventory system for every single player.

I think they're running out of excuses at this point.

They've added the checkmarks on minions and mounts so you can see what you've acquired, they have the orchestion logs that show what you can play when you've acquired the song, they even have this new dream dressing room. It's like, all the elements are there! Just put it together!

People here are already complaining about 6.2. Typical day on the forums.

You're being a bit overly sensitive tbh, and he's not wrong either.

They're well aware of the Glam issues they're not just adding extra and not more out of spite or anything.

It's rly sad that they apparently have to walk on egg shells constantly because someone will take a harmless comment and get mad about it.
Yoshida isn't mocking people and being an asshole he's just trying to be light-hearted and joke a bit.
Not everything needs to be taken in the most bad faith literal way imaginable all the time..

To be honest with you, I'm starting to think the issues are mostly not from him, but from us here.

And was proven right like 5 seconds later in the chat. Doubling the size is nothing to sniff at. It's not a full fix by any means. There's a lot of work to go to refine the glamour system to be what it could be. But I don't blame the team if they get demoralized because they don't get a simple thank you when they do do something good for players.
