*it's fine

Ironically. Most aren't happy with it. Try asking urself in nn or ur fc and see what they say. Or in Discords. I just don't get this argument
While people here will actively downplay other people's thoughts on the game, I don't think the developers are doing it. It's a thing that's done on an individual basis.

For example, I can say the game is dead for me, because all my friends have quit, my FC has died (twice), and whenever I DO manage to meet up with some of the old crew for some games (Helldivers is the new hotness, very good game), a common inside joke is "Imagine playing a game that you actually like and the developers actually care about." And by common, I mean literally anytime we squad up, one of the post-game conversations is "are we ever going back to XIV" and the answer is always "Wish we could, but the game sucks now."

We're literally reinforcing (haha helldivers) our own collective echo chamber, which is what's going to happen when all the friends/contacts you made in the game ALSO hate it. It is the definition of a confirmation bias.

I can say that "most" of my circle is not happy. People who think like us are not happy. I am not happy. If you are happy, that's cool, but like, I don't care, much like how they didn't care when they ruined all my jobs to make them more "accessible".

It is what it is.
