Is 7.2 the last patch to even save Dawntrail at this point?(SPOILERS AHOY)

[Lilapop]

One thing I've noticed is that the doomers have been having a massive, hyperventilating DOOM THIS GAME SUUUUUCKS circlejerk since 7.0 launched and a chunk of the playing base decided it was Terrible, Awful, No Good and have taken every opportunity to shit on it.

In the meantime, those of us who kept playing - heck, even replayed 7.0 on alts or watched other streamers go through it - have had an opposite reaction? Mostly, "Oh, it wasn't as bad as I thought it was." Things didn't happen the way I recalled them happening. Wuk Lamat's character is a dumb unga bunga ... because she's a warrior, of course it makes sense she'd be a dummy.

Were there pacing flaws? Yeah. Did I dislike how much I was forced to interact with Wuk Lamat instead of.... anyone else? Yeah. Was the story weaker than anything since ARR? Absolutely yeah.

Have I still been playing every day and grinding all my jobs to 100 and trying to clear the savage tier and doing silly events with friends like maps and old Extreme mount farming? Also yeah.

I've tuned out the "THIS GAME SUCKS" crowd and decided I'd find my own way to enjoy it, and I've been a much happier person after I cut out every else's negative opinions.

Your opinion is valid, but just because people have legitimate criticism doesn't mean their opinion is "invalid negativity." Yours isn't anymore important than theirs and vice versa.

Absolutely, but the correct thing to do when you have a bad opinion about something is to.... stop interacting with that content. Instead of continuing to consume hate-watching content of other people who also disliked it. That's the negative feedback loop. It was fine for the first month when everyone was still trying to parse out what had happened, but it's been going on for half a year now.

I've stopped watching quite a few streamers who insist on talking about how much they hate it over and over and over again, instead of finding a new game to play and discuss that they like better.

There's constructive criticism, but also destructive criticism, and too much of what has been put out has been the latter.

Addict lmao

Doesn't help when I get a ping on Discord from my college buddies from 20 years ago who go HEY KAT WANNA DO MAPS
