Reddit vs. the Forums in the Graphics War of '24

My dude, just about everything they do is in response to feedback. 2 minute meta? Feedback. Tank and healer remake in shb? Feedback. Everything they've done post launch with housing is feedback. Glamour plates? Feedback. They cut the exploratory mission in EW because of feedback and they are bringing it back in DT because of the counter feedback. They brought back a deep dungeon because of feedback but that got morbin timed. Criterion is a direct response to the endless asks for smaller group hard content. Dedicated face slot and dye channels? Feedback. It was interesting when the response to kaiten's removal wasn't strong enough to get them to reverse course on that but it did get them to not go forward with some other changes they had planned.

Housings biggest feedback from day 1 was “make it instanced” they have literally ignored the most common feedback about housing since day 1 and dance around it because they themselves have said they like the neighbourhood feeling, when was the last time someone praised the neighbourhood feeling of the houses

Same as tanks and healers, they had the same feedback in SB, “I don’t like losing damage to perform my core function and relying excessively on the party to help me achieve the core function. In response they nuked agro out of the tanks and designed healers like they are playing a different game and satisfaction crashed on those jobs going into ShB, yet they did not reverse course at all

At best they overcorrect in response to poorly constructed feedback then refuse to backtrack on the over correction at worst they just ignore feedback and implement their vision anyway. You also said “feedback to Kaiten wasn’t strong enough to reverse course. Was there a single shred of positive feedback on the Kaiten changes”, if there was why didn’t they mention it, all they said was “give it a try you might love it anyway”
