Genuine Question for Frequent Negative Posters

[Deo14]

OP

I'll just copy paste what I already told to Jojoya, it sounds little off-topic without context, but it should convey general message:

Do we need some to follow some regulations of minimal positive things we say, just so we feel like we're legitimate? I'm talking just for myself - I very rarely talk here about things I like. You can check all my 300+ posts, I bet there is not a single praise about this game's music, even though that's one of my most favorite things about the game. I have something positive to say, but I usually won't say it, I don't see a reason. You yourself described it as "at the least does not see as a problem with the game" - why would I start talking about something that I don't see as problem? What would I achieve by that? Would it spark some interesting discussion? Very unlikely. This is why I don't just throw random praises into the void, I don't see a reason. It doesn't mean I passionately hate the game as some seem to think, it's just different mindset and different personality traits.

Long story short - why? Why would I post some positive things in forums meant for feedback? If I wanted some positive fluff, I would check mainsub or similar media meant for this, there's more than enough of that in there. As for the rest:

Why do you stick around in the game/forums?

I want to engage with the game because I like it, but nowadays there's not much to do, so I spend more time in here.

Does something about it give you enough joy to be worth your time?

I still like the game, and there are good discussion in forums every now and then. And if not, there is often drama to fill the rest.

Is there something that gives you hope that things will get better, and thus you're not ready to leave just yet?

I don't see any indicators that game will change direction. I'm just waiting to see how will DT turn out, if jobs become drastically even worse, or if DT will have same mistakes as EW, then I'll just either quit or become one of those who plays for 1-2 months per expansion.
