when will this lazy devs fix the alliance roulette?

I mean, at this point, it's just getting ridiculous to read these threads.

Community complains about balance of jobs, SE balances jobs, homogenising them in the process, community complains about homogenisation.

Community complains about difficulty spikes in MSQ, SE makes MSQ easy and more approachable, community complains about braindead easy MSQ.

Community complains about CT raids and ilvl cheese, SE institutes ilvl lock (hurting other players in the process, but that's besides the point), community still complains about CT popping (as if we didn't know this was already going to happen).

Community suggesting changing CT into a 4 man now, likely removing a good introductory 24 man raid with unique mechanics for new players in the process, and also likely making it even harder for new players to get used to the later 24 man raids, while also increasing the chance that players might not even unlock them. Also, will have the consequence of moving the most common raid popping up to Void Ark.

Meanwhile, a poster asks for something completely innocent and inconsequential, such as more hotbars, the entire community jumps down their throat, telling them they're not being efficient and playing the game wrong.

At this point, SE really needs to stop listening to player feedback and just make the game they want to make. The playerbase really don't know what they're asking for and just throw out half-assed ideas with no thought to the consequences.

Have you ever considered that the community is not a hive mind?

Of course I know this. And maybe my last line was hyperbolic. Jeeqbit is probably more right.

But feedback needs to be considered carefully, well thought out, how it will impact everyone, before it's given and implemented.

Throwing out statements like CT should be a 4 man or whatever, helps nobody.

There was a time when ARR dungeons had multiple rooms, I remember getting laughed at my first time when I asked to explore it.

Castrum used to feel like an actual assault on a base, now it's just another by the numbers dungeon.

Stuff like that comes about and diminishes the good parts of the game.
