Copium or Hopium: Jobs will get individuality in Dawntrail instead of 8.0?

[LeiyaAwandah]

When I read that they do "kneejerk over corrections to feedback", part of me wonders whether the developers understand and factor "negativity bias" into their interpretations at all.
Happy people don't leave much feedback, neutral people don't leave much feedback, angry people leave lots of feedback.
And as a species we have a tendency to overly focus on bad and negative things.



Because of said bias, a 95:5 negative to positive feedback ratio more accurately represents a 50/50 split in the playerbase, and not a playerbase that is overwhelmingly negative.
A 95:5 split will also feel more like 99:1 if you don't keep a clear head.

On the other hand you can’t just assume that because someone didn’t leave feedback they are happy

For example NN on jenova for like 5 years has been basically nothing but “does healing ever get more fun” and “why is healing so boring”

How much of that feedback do you think makes it to the official channels

My point was more one of proportion.


If 5% of happy customers send feedback and 70% of upset customers send feedback, this creates a disparate sample size that heavily overemphasizes the negative.
I pulled those numbers out of my rear, but it should still be illustrative of my overarching point.

I've seen similar sentiments in Tonberry's NN, and contributed to much of it myself.


I would wager that feedback from there (if frequent enough) does make it back to Square in some form.
There are GMs that monitor public chats to measure public sentiment, and aggregate players' thoughts.
NN is but one place they would monitor.
