Public Discussion: Community Feedback - Is it being heard?

[Skiros]

Raiders and high end players ALWAYS whine that their feedback isnt heard, even in WoW where the game literally caters to them and treats casuals as 4th class citizens they still whine.

That often happens because due to clearing high end content they feel their opinion has more value and get mad when the devs ignore them to focus on casual and solo content aka the people who are paying the bills.

WoW didnt fail because it didnt listen to its high end raiders, it failed cause it kept treating its casual player base worse and worse with Shadowlands being the epitome of treating casuals like 4th class citizens and giving them trash gear for reward and barely any casual and solo content, FF14 is thankfully not doing the same mistake and Yoshi P. even said he ll try focus more on solo casual players thankfully.

If you want a hardcore high end raiding game go play wow, dont try to ruin this game for casuals

Sorry didn't realize Hrothgar hairstyles, personal housing, fleshed out Island Sanctuary, better anti-cheat measures are all hardcore feedback.

TBH i‘d say about 90% of the complains are from a more casual crowd - me included. I‘d add healers overhaul as a casual request too on your list, since it‘s deadass boring unless you do hardcore content (Ultimate).

Healers have not always been this way, what are you on? Literally compare stuff like arr whm or sch to now. There is a very noticeable difference from how healers were to how they are now.

Agree. I mean if you compare Scholar to now, it had no overblown healing kit, it got stripped of many cool DPS skills (Bane, Shadowflare, 3 dots and now 1). Playing it back then felt much more rewarding and was actually distinct from the other healer roles.
