You are never happy.

Never seen the point of being blindly loyal to any company or any specific franchise and sticking behind them regardless of what they do, I just like individual games by themselves regardless of who made them or their IP. This goes especially for companies and franchises whose bad game to good game ratio is much higher, especially in the past decade or so.

I'm not blindly loyal. I just don't have any issue with a cash shop/atma/whatever gripe-fest is current. If I don't like something, I won't do it.

This forum has more of a problem being blindly upset over things.

my gripe is RNG content personally, and i do agree, i have yet to actually do atma, especially after when it was first released and did over 400 fates with only 2 atmas to show for it. i just wish they would either stop using it all together or put in some checks and balances to make up for too many consecutive failures with RNG

When people are happy, they have less to talk about. When people are unhappy, it helps to get it off your chest. That's the reason official forums tend to gravitate towards the negative.

I'll admit I've had my fair share of gripes too, but the fact I'm still here and still playing the game shows I still find it enjoyable. The positives still outweigh the negatives. That's not to say I agree with some of SE's decisions in the recent months, in fact I dare say I was quite outspoken about more than a few, but that's what happens when something bad happens to something you love. You want to fight to keep it good.

The problem is that if no one complains about anything, then the devs will just assume everything is fine and the players are contented with the content regardless of how much it annoys people. They're not psychic and can't tell we hate a particular bit of content when no one tells them so. It's our job as players to keep them informed about changes we like or didn't like, and in doing so we help to guide their hand for future updates and influence, however slightly, the direction of the game as a whole.

So, the next time someone writes a post that complains, instead of berating them try to argue their points. Bring your own to the table. Do you agree, or disagree? If so, why? The more information SE has the more informed the decision they can ultimately make, and the better this game becomes for everyone.

Really just my TL;DR version of the forums. :P No matter what Square Enix does or doesn't do:

YOU
ARE
NEVER
HAPPY.

Finally someone say something right.
You are REALLY never happy. You asked for Stoneskin II e then you say "Why no SCH?" . You wanted a new Relic step and then you dont like aesthetics and how many steps there are. You want Eternal Bond and then you complain about Gold and Platinum with cash.
Oh come on guys. Let SE do what they want. This is THEIR game and yours. If you dont like something when your active account will expire the Unistall features is always up.

My favorite part of 2.45 was sitting around for three hours, happily crafting Roast Dodo and Starlight Cakes just to give out as gifts. I try not to whine about the negatives, since so many other people can do it for me. I've avoided making any positive thread just because I've seen the super negative people come in and immediately try to destroy it for the sake of "misery loves company". I don't have time for that! I need to make more cake!

Since more people equals more $$$, SE will go for the "all of the people some of the time" option. And those times when some of the people aren't pleased? They get noisy on the forums. :P
