Theres a lot to like about the expansion. But like, why do we need to create appreciation posts? It feels very patting yourself on the back. From my POV most appreciation threads feel like a desperate attempt to keep the shiny paint up to hide whats beneath the surface. Youre inviting unhinged responses lol, its like a magnet. Game forums are always majority criticisms of the game.

Take a moment for self-reflection and ask yourself the following:
If you feel these forums are filled with too many criticisms and negativity towards the game, why are you still here posting and spending your time here?
Then consider your answer.
Is your life better because you stayed?

I wouldn't say that my life is better, but certainly it's been more entertained at times.

Yes, this is true haha. I think a gaming forum of only people who refuse to look critically at the game would be very boring, and wouldn't really offer anything to help it improve.

A lot of people would answer....

In the slim hope that there criticisms will be heard and the game will be made just a little better...

After all there are only 2 types of feedback.

And those types are NOT "positive" and "negative".

They are "Constructive" feedback. And "Useless" feedback.

Just saying the game is crap is USELESS feedback.

Just saying the game is amazing is also USELESS feedback.

However...

Saying the game is crap because X, Y, and Z. Is CONSTRUCTIVE feedback.

Saying the game is amazing because X, Y, and Z is also CONSTRUCTIVE feedback.

Positive or negative doesn't matter. If it's not constructive its useless.

I can't remember what thread it was in, but I remember trying to get an answer as to how people would make things better, and the majority of answers I got were "that's not my job to figure out". And they wonder why their feedback is generally dumped into the useless category.
