Yoshi-P Praise Topic :D

[Stormrider]

Threads like this are good (though the OP is a little overenthusiastic and naive about the state of the game), and we could do with more appreciation in among the feedback to show the developers that the time they spend on live letters, fan fests, duty commenced, and all these other events where they try to interact with fans, is worth it. Is Yoshi P the king of all producers? no, but his relationship with the game, and with its fans is something to applaud and appreciate.

I respect your right to feel that these fan interactions are positive. I am sorry I feel that these fan fests and live letters are just publicity stunts and don't serve the community any more at this point. I am happy some people feel that this draws them closer to them. From a lot of live letters I could simply have had a forum post. A better moderation and stickies of current serious issues could clean up some of the forums.

I will not speak for the majority but I know a few people who feel alienated by this practice. They have time and time ignored the pressing issues or at least reoccurring ones. Not to mention the out right lies. A little less interaction and a little more work or lies take your pick. And if they can not get what they say inline with (management) then it is best not to say anything.

Also the person who started this thread not you. Has not played very many other MMOs. The game isn't compared to the last patch. It is compared to every other game on the market.
