This game is on a terrible state right now.

Playing victims are we? typical

Listen, I get that you're trying to devalue the opinions of those you disagree with by making baseless inferences, but I don't think it's going to work quite how you hope it will. You're being too transparent with it. Try harder.

That's how it's been for a while. It's easier to deny that people who are happy with how the game is overall are capable of allowing said enjoyment outweigh the few qualms they might have. Or for some people to insist that if they have been around as long as them that they too must also behave like chicken little or feel as though they're the boy who cried wolf at the end of the story. That there is no conceivable way that someone who's been around as long as them and even enjoyed some of the same things as them in the past could still have a bigger overall enjoyment of the game. It just gets tiring after awhile as these discussions don't go anywhere. Nothing anyone who might still have an optimistic or overall positive view says will change their minds.

I think I've said this to you once, but I'm going to say it again: Do you genuinely think this game has nothing wrong with it? For that matter, what is it about seeing the game criticized that makes you and others equate it with trying to ruin other people's fun or as personal attacks? People are entitled to their opinions, and they do not deserve to be continually derided simply because of differing opinions. Disagreements are fine, but the baseless accusations and outright insults have gotten a little old at this point. Moreover, I've yet to see anyone flat out tell someone they are wrong for enjoying the game. Quite the opposite, in fact - the consensus among those speaking out about their criticisms has been to go enjoy the game if that's what makes you happy.

You say few qualms, but what about those of us that have many qualms with it? I for one absolutely abhor what it has become. You claim these discussions are tiring because our minds can't be changed, but uh... saying the game has X, so you shouldn't dislike Y does not change the fact Y is something people don't like? No one has said the game has absolutely nothing going for it. Some of us just don't like where it's going, and as a result quite a few of us no longer play. We wouldn't say anything at all if we didn't care. The opposite of love is not hate - it's indifference. Hate means you still care.

People aren't looking to have their minds changed. They're looking to field their opinions in the hopes someone, anyone, on the dev team will actually listen. That is it. It isn't about trying to turn people away from the game, harming the game's image, or wtfever else it is certain forum posters keep insisting. It's just a matter of trying to, as we see it, prevent the game from going in a direction that is bad. We all know full well our feedback is meaningless, but the human mind is very bad at processing hopelessness. People will continue trying even in the face the absolute certainty they will fail.
