Been seeing a lot of doomsaying in forums/in-game lately

If there are a lot of unhappy people then something needs to be addressed.

Like, I'm sorry but... Unhappy people on this scale isn't just a coincidence. It isn't a "loud niche" or clique. People are welcome to argue whether or not said unhappiness is being expressed constructively but this isn't something I believe can be handwaved away.

on the forum scale?

there is a very small percentage, in any game, that complain on the games forums. if it is a large scale of people, you see massive complaints in game, where the playerbase usually is.

am I saying there are no problems? am I saying that people are not complaining? no to both.. just saying that I dont see the "scale" that you are meaning. you have been around long enough, and have posted enough, that I am sure you are aware of this.

there are issues with the game, but there is not a SIGNIFICANT number of the player base posting on the forums. just the usual numbers of posters.... so, if thats the scale you are talking about... you may need to revise your idea of what constitutes "large scale"

Exactly this. When we had login problems with Endwalker? EVERYONE on my server was constantly talking about it in shout chat, comparing numbers on getting in, etc. The forums here were on fire and so was the game.
