Zepla about FFXIV Relic and Square Enix not taking any Risks

[Shurrikhan]

So what I'm trying to suggest is that when people hear Zepla's criticisms of the game, they should also consider the context within which she makes her critique. Do not dismiss her! Just be thoughtful. That's really all I wanted to say.

Unless the context would indicate a likely mismatch between what would benefit her and what would benefit many of us, more common camps of players, or some theoretical "average" player, though... a warning simply to "be thoughtful" of a tangential difference alone (that of background or playtime, which does not necessarily or even that likely indicate differences in priorities as they would affect the given suggestion)... that is effectively encouraging people just to dismiss it.

If you're feeling some likely mismatch there, then why not give your guess instead of just telling people to take the given opinion with a grain of salt? No one was assuming from the start that any other person's experience or preferences would perfectly match theirs; the question is how it would affect the feedback being responded to.

If it doesn't affect it (be that in its necessary prior supporting changes, the suggestion itself, or likely consequences of that suggestion), it's not going to be relevant to the suggestion's discussion.


I don't think you're intending it to be such, but that reads very much as an encouragement to dismiss or find the worse in a given idea over its speaker's tangential/unessential/irrelevant differences.
