Personally I would be surprised if it’s targeted at the non jp community, also a bit shocked.

To me in all the years i played mmorpg I never saw a community that supporting and willing to cover all faults with a huge blanket of love. To the point that I would be worried as se that maybe to get disconnected to the silent masses as critics are mostly countered with almost fan-boy unrealistic replies, or downvoted to shreds on Reddit that I suspect a huge part of the community finds it’s just not worth it.

If it’s indeed in general that would be worrying to me.

Criticism presented in a polite way in a open discussion is good for a game, yes it could be hard for the dev who spend countless hours on that particular aspect of the game that nobody likes, but also a learning opportunity to get a better understanding why it is disliked by the player base.

Now I don’t know what is said on the jp community and it could be totally unacceptable, so I would like to believe it’s targeted at the jp community.
