Endwalker vs shadowbringers story, which did you enjoy more and why? (spoilers)

No, the truth is they simply seem to downvote anyone who disagrees with "common wisdom" on there, and their often highly subjective views on certain topics. I do not use the site much for discussion myself but I have observed how they react to dissenting views on a range of different topics, and dogpiling views that don't fit with the norm is common there, particularly around whether people like certain aspects of the game.

So exactly like here then.

There is a downvote feature on here hiding posts beyond a threshold, and eating to a user's karma to the point that they become incapable of posting if it dips too low, which newer users unfamiliar to the site's MO are more susceptible towards? News to me.

The forum has a far more transparent structure to it when it comes to discussing topics, in that 1) it doesn't disappear downvoted posts (because you simply can't downvote) and 2) doesn't hide them under threads like reddit (beyond a certain number) or Twitter with its comment nesting does. Besides, my point is simply that if we're going to dismiss the forum as a source of feedback for "dogpiling", it's rather peculiar that the devs draw on Twitter and reddit in spite of these issues for feedback, so that "exactly like here" thing doesn't really work as a retort to that. I've always found general discussion to host a pretty broad array of viewpoints, so I can't say I share your view that it's just the same here, but to each their own.
