Anyone else just feeling really disapointed this expansion?*vent*

The sad thing is that it's not even damage control, it causes damage. When it comes to unhappy customers, 9 out of 10 decide the game isn't for them and silently leave and a small number care enough to actually complain and offer feedback. By stifling that feedback, the community pushes away the few complainers and also ensures the silent leavers never have a reason to return either.

It happened a lot in WoW. Their community positivity brigade was convinced everything was fine and for a good while it was on the surface. Then their playerbase halved and it was still "fine, it's an old game dude, this is normal, MMO's aren't as popular, game is great", then it halved again while they stopped publishing numbers and now they're barely at a quarter of their original. But it's still "fine".

How bloody ironic. If anything causes damage, it's the negativity brigade that exists because we're not allowed to even have a neutral opinion on this board without being called names or this ridiculous reference comes up. It is the unfortunate norm of MMOs and we accept it, but we're still pushing for change with a degree of patience unlike anything you'll ever fathom.

btw, when it comes to any threads sharing the slightest bit of positivity about the game, I tend to ignore them as I know the usual suspects will show up and try to piss on everything. Ya'll are sad and bitter people and some of you need some real help.
