Please stop simplifying and homogenizing the game. Please.

And yet the director of the game flat out stated that he doesn't mind if people don't play all the time. He wants people to play multiple games.

Ah yes, Yoshida who has said things like "We will never force you to stay subbed for housing", "We're planning to add more egi glamours", or "Hrothgar and Viera will get additional race specific hairstyles over time". His entire job revolves around trying to create positive optics for this game, which in many cases is completely divorced from reality. Clearly people swallow it whole with how often this nonsensical talking-point gets parroted.

Ahh. The crippling truth.

It's only really true because the developers don't seem to care; The forums are absolutely promoted as one of the primary places to give the developers direct feedback, by the development team itself. It ends up being nonsensical to shutdown people sharing feedback here in the hopes that the forums will fulfill their intended purpose.
