This is getting absurd. Shame on Yoshida for thinking were were a community, for pete's sake. As a community, we would like to discuss things besides the game for once and share a holiday greeting with one another for the sake of transparency between players and the development team. As a community that means we all do things together. True, the game isn't as up to par as we'd all like it to be, they are fixing that and it takes time, but that doesn't mean that we have to slap down everything else in the world for the sake of that alone.
I cannot believe that the terms "White-Knight" and "SE Fanboy" have made their way into this thread. Lol Wow. Some of you guys just take it to a whole other level. I genuinely am laughing as I type this because it doesn't make any kind of sense. The point of the matter is that no one is telling you guys to "get out" because you want the game to be better. We all want the game to get better from the Development team to every one of us in the forums that's why we're still waiting (as players) and that's why the devs are still working on it. It's a gradual process that we're all stepping towards, together as a "community" that shares holidays and things of that nature with one another. The reason some of you might be getting told to "take a hike" is because no one wants those types of negative feelings in the community.
And by negative feelings, I don't mean the feeling that the game needs more improvements on this or more improvements on that, but the fact that, as a fellowman in the community some of you would literally read "Sorry guys, I was in the hospital! Maybe I'm working too hard! He he! Happy New Year!" and say "We don't care about how you spent your holiday or that you were critically ill... Fix our damn game!". That is the reason you're being told to "get lost" because you don't have compassion enough to be a person. That's not the type of thing people want in a "community".
White-Knighting... wow... Such audacity!
