To Square/Yoshida

[Caelum_Dragguell]

I only started my thread for a normal conversation on how the game needs some spice added to it and needs to deviate from the current formula. I haven't been banned for speaking up. It's the first time in a long time I've decided to (see my # of posts). If you want to be heard speak politely and appropriately while voicing your opinions. Good luck on stating what you want for the future of the game.

Well i cant speak for my friends since i dont know the wording they used specifically (been too long) i just know that people tend to abuse report features/kick features/etc when they feel their way of life is threatened by someone and it quite honestly scares me that the community can get like this. Granted that so far none of you have made me feel this way really yet but i know it isnt uncommon. But its all besides the point of my post. I just want SE to stop doing what everyone screams about. Yoshida didnt want the game to turn out this way, he has even said if he had the manpower this game would be better. But all he gets is the feedback from people that scream everytime something ruins their day and has to stop what hes working on and move everyone over to appease. Really this game needs a polling system like BnS had where it would ask you after so long. or maybe if they actually looked at their ingame feedback function and the feedback from it but I feel like it is widely ignored

If you want to discuss things without your "fears", I would suggest a 3rd party forum such as Reddit. SE does monitor those forums as you will see SE_Kahuna chime in from time to time.

Honestly TC, I don't even know what you are asking for, you are being too ambiguous. I've seen SE doing things players asked that was a bit silly and spoiled (imho), but then I've seen also good things. I strongly feel your frustration comes from a very specific situation (forum ban?) yet your request is too general and ambiguous. Let's suppose you are Yoshida now, what would you do? "This guy is right, let's stop reading our players' feedback, we might as well delete the forum altogether".
What is it that you want exactly?

[PrincessFrey]

But my original message is something i DO want SE to see. If i am really offending someone by making a post to get SE to stop listening to every group that cries when something is changed against their favor then I have only made my point that it is an issue that needs to be attended to. I am not hurting anyones feelings here except perhaps those that do want their way. All i wish for is to see the story and the greatness this game is stay in one piece. None of this make it easier make it harder do this or do that for me stuff. I want to enjoy it freely without SE having to change things because everyone isnt playing how everyone else demands them to. Look at what happened to tanks. The STR vs VIT battle was so bad they had to rebalance everything to get the hate to stop (and it STILL exists here or there, i was a vit tank during all of it)

If SE are planning on doing something you hate the sound of or if you want something which passionately believe in then there is nothing wrong in letting SE know. If you do not speak up then you will never get what you want because SE cannot read your mind and even if do speak up it does not mean SE will do what you want. As long as you remain polite and reasonable, adequately respectful. Conflicting opinions will always raise tensions but trying not to step over the line then your feedback would not cause a ban.

Tell them what you want and tell them what you do not...be prepared in the knowledge not everyone will agree and put your points across as well as you can while not stepping over the line into being rude, abusive or insulting people too much. I think SE are more inclined to listen to someone who puts their point across in a more mature and well explained way than someone just screaming and shouting at others though in the end SE will always do what SE wants to do. But you should tell them what you want even if others disagree and even if SE decides they do not agree with you too.

SE should listen to what people say, it doesn't mean they will do what they are saying however and frankly it is impossible to do what everyone wants. What exactly is it you don't want SE to listen to? What things are people saying which you think should be silenced or ignored? There must be something which prompted this thread for example which threads or topics were you taking part in which got so heated you or your friends got supposedly banned because of? What things do you want SE to do and what things do you think SE should not? Should SE ignore this thread and your request along with ignoring other peoples suggestions...is this not a thread asking SE to do something you want like all the others which do the same?

Quite honestly my issue is the bowing down everytime someone screams that things are too hard things and now they are too easy. The we want a free ride (potions) the we want to be the elite of the elite (gating off of items behind savage ONLY, never releasing anything equivalent or upgrade items in anything below EVER). The people whom demand things be rebalanced so their specific play style is the ONLY player accepted play style (Again referencing the STR/VIT tank battles). People demanding PS3 support be dropped (not that it would ever change anything, kicking it off wont make the game prettier).

My request is not so much to ignore everyone else, its more a requets to listen to EVERYONE not JUST those that scream the loudest (i was told by a dev once that if you want to be heard you have to have a massive following which isnt fair considering some things wont be supported if the trolls dont like it)

I think you're mistaking what you want with what the dev team wants. They've already made their decision on pretty much all those things you listed regardless of player feedback.

[Lexia]

Could you be more specific about what you upset about? As for the community SE can't change that people going to be the way they want to be.

They would not forum ban you just for giving feedback...you would only get forum banned based on how you gave it like how rude and insulting you may have been. If you are not rude or insulting then no matter how many people file a report you would not get banned especially not 9/10 times. To get banned 9/10 times you would have to have been extremely rude, abusive and insulting towards others in which case maybe stop doing that and voice your feedback in a mature and respectful way.

Yeah, basically. All the bile I've seen thrown about as "feedback" in these forums, almost nobody seems to get banned or even have their posts deleted... Really seems like you're trumping up some charges to make a point here, PrincessFrey.
