It's why I keep repeating over and over for them to actually listen to the playerbase. Not to twitter. Not to people who aren't ever going to touch Savage, Hrothgar, Gold Saucer, or whatever in any meaningful way, but to the people who do. And definitely not to the random voices going :CRAB: [topic] :CRAB: on their streams.

Because acting on impulse over what they perceive is popular is the sure-fire way of killing it altogether. And it's just going to ruin the player experience, no matter how minor that playerbase may be. After all, they made it to begin with. Even if only a specific minority interacts with it, why ruin it for that minority with zero assurance that it's going to increase its popularity?
