But I digress. It's no surprise that SE's wall of silence is expanding. Yoshida said a lot during the v1 to ARR transition that never came to fruition. But the problem with that is not that they were not able to do what they promised. Its that they never mentioned it again and refused to acknowledge any questions on the various subjects.

Telling us "hey we tried but we cannot get this to work, but look at this new thing we are working on" would go a long way as long as they were able to deliver on those promises more often than not. Instead they decided to just not talk to their customers and it makes them feel shady. Frankly I do not trust Yoshida anymore. While once I thought he was a rock star, now I think he is just a shill. A one hit wonder that did an amazing job at rebooting the game but has no idea how to manage it for a lifetime. I would love to see a new perspective and someone with some fresh insight take at least partial creative control. Someone with some people skills who is not afraid to talk to us like people and customers. Someone who can talk to journalists and not get all bent out of shape if they ask hard questions or go off the SE approved script. Someone who can produce some exciting content that is not just the same thing as we always get or allowed to be released broken. A lot of the new content we have gotten over the years from Diadem to Eureka to Blue Mage, has just shown they are completely deaf to their community and clearly have a severe QC issue.

Them being even less willing to talk, just proves so many things. Mainly that they cannot take criticism and no matter what you do, you are going to get criticism. You just need to be a big boy and learn how to take it and what to do with it. Esp when you are in a field such as game design. If all you want is rainbows blown up your backside, you are going to crash and burn sooner or later as the reality that you are not as great as you think you are, gets hammered home. V1 should be a lesson learned. They didn't talk to us then and now its happening again.

Just waiting for the next fatigue system to be implemented...
