Yoshi-P Statement on Player Feedback

[Avatre]

I think we are back to what everyone consider to be toxic. In this game for a while being blunt or dry seems to be equivalent of being toxic.

An example: person X is failing mechanic Y and wiping the party a few times in a row.

Blunt: Hey X, you are doing that wrong. Do this instead.

Toxic: OMG you piece of sxxx stop wiping us and learn to play!

As right now both are considered actionable if reported. To me makes no sense and I consider it a good example of tone policing that always rubbed me the wrong way. Even if in game I'm the type of person that will try to be as nice as possible.

I forgo the "Hey X" and just say "Anyone need an explanation or elaboration on that mechanic?". Sometimes the guilty party will speak up, often times it will be someone else who wasn't failing the mechanic so we go into an explanation. That tends to work better, and tends to be a surefire way to ensure that they can't file a report for "harassment" by calling them out for failing mechanics.

I rather not make anyone feeling the center of attention and just give a general explanation to problematic mechanics and be done with it (of late is that anima claw mechanic that follow you around). Still, feels weird that someone could lose their account for being blunt/dry.
