SE, the time has come to ignore everything your players say.

From what I've seen of a lot of large groups in Tumblr, it is a with us or against us mentality. Hardly the place I would go to for reasonable and balanced discussion of well, anything.

Based on my experiences in the last week: vitriol, hostility, ignoring the actual facts of a discussion to instead try to shout down the other person.

That kind of thing.

Tumblr is a very special kind of echo chamber where people will follow and listen to what they want to hear and filter out or ignore opinions or facts that don't line up with their respective beliefs.

I personally wouldn't take anything that comes out Tumblr seriously.

to be fair, Yoshi said they would do seperate housing for personal houses and it would be affordable, they failed to follow through

they said that there would be free roaming primals implented and work as an fc to take those down, and the fc could summon them, they have not done this yet

the fc alliances that would allow two fcs to work together has been in the claims since 2.0, still not done yet


the real problem with "some" of the changes/content is because SE is listening to the wrong people, normally the whiniest of the forums would be my guess. but keep in mind, some of the changes only came along because they listened to the people. and just as a history lesson, v1.0-1.1 was a total failure, the devs from there never listened to the people even after getting feedback. not all feedback from community is bad
