Breaking the Majority’s Silence: A Job Criticism Thread

[Shikiseki]

I love how everyone claims that the opinons voiced here are "a loud minority" and the major silent majority in game always thinks the game is a-ok.
Guess what, it's not. Almost everyone in my fc agrees that the PvE treadmill has gotten stale to the point them just not logging in anymore instead of ranting about it on the forums to change things.
They have to get their butts out of their comfort zone and take risks again to make the core pve gameplay engaging again, otherwise this game will just turn into a "sub for 30days every 2 years to clear msq then quit" mmo at this rate...

The point really is there is no evidence either way.

Essentially the only safe assumption that can be made statistically is that the majority of the player base is not 100% happy with the game. However the specifics of what they don't like about the game vary from player to player. The issue is the majority of players not 100% happy with the game either do not feel the need to be vocal about it or just simply aren't using things like this forum/reddit/insert whatever other platform here/ to complain about it. This results in noisy minorities ending up with more influence than they should have in a number of cases which just leads to even more issues when companies present data with incorrect context in order to convince people the changes they made to silence the noise made everything better.
