Yoshi-P: Flippant dismissal of player criticism is a poor look for a lead developer.

Wow, all of this over a joke comment. Ok.

Yeah, that happens when you joke at the expense of those with concerns.

I realize that it's naive to say it, but I feel somewhat better about them stating that they're going to be more open with the reasoning on why they have made changes to classes. Mainly because we can call out bullshit and have an actual critical conversation with them. It's hard to have a conversation with someone about an action without knowing why the action was made. If that information is freely given then we can certainly do a better job at calling them out with dumb stuff like "Kaiten was removed due to action bloat" by pointing out the fact that so many other abilities could be merged if they mean "button bloat" and that removing Kaiten removed 1 button press every ~1 minute because you're just using the same kenki on 4 Shintens instead of 5 Kaitens.....

Being "more open" is just them showing/telling us what they're going to do, it doesn't mean any feedback will be acknowledged or acted upon. Naive, indeed.
