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

[CNitsah]

Square enix needs to come out and admit where they actually pull feedback from because it doesn’t seem to be anywhere. Reddit and twitter get outright ignored while the white knights tell people to come to the forums, people come to the forums and get radio silence while we continue to spin round the same 5 topics they refuse to acknowledge

Then people say go to the JP forums and then they seem to ignore that as well, the JP forums didn’t like Kaiten or the healer reworks or the simplicity of modern SMN, they got ignored as well


At this point just tell us to put up and shut up if they won’t take feedback from us anywhere, even their own channels

They've said several time they use the like system of the forum to see what are agreed on problems. Problem is, in the english forum, nobody use the like system, and people prefer to create their own thread to talk about the exact same thing. A popular post will often stay in the 60-80 likes range. That's why this thread getting to the 200 mark in a couple of days despite the number of thread is pretty telling on how big the problem is. But anyway, who will consider changes for 60 people. Also, there are things like ingame metrics we don't have access to, or only limited version like FFXIVcensus or luckybancho data. Some people complain about the new summoner, that it's too easy (I can understand that), but right now, it's the most played class. Of course they're not gonna change it, because some raiders/hardcore players want it to be more difficult.

And more often than not, people liked post are just someone getting roasted. SE don't take in account how players give their feedback, and player don't take in account how SE thought the system.

This circles back to my earlier point, if they have a specific criteria or arrangement of the forums they desire before they take feedback from it then
1) they need to make it clearer what they want
2) the mods need to actually do something about condensing the threads to give the desired result like they do on the JP forums

99.9% of people here probably don’t know that square wants them to go upvote another post 10295010601052050 pages ago in a megathread if they want a change over making a post of their own trying to get attention

They basically lead us on a wild goose chase around the forums then incorporate less than none of our feedback because we don’t meet that standard
