My thoughts on the community recently

[DamianFatale]

It's okay to make requests, it's okay to have wants, it's okay to have needs, but when complaining overtakes a community forum, and becomes the dominating theme of threads, I think we have a problem. I know you're excited for Stormblood, I know we're ready to move onto something new, and I get it, but for now can we just enjoy the game? Can we try to be more positive, instead of negative? Some complaining is warranted, but come on, we are so much better than this. I know we can be more positive. If you're so frustrated, take a break. Go play another game, and take your mind off things. Breaks are healthy, because they allow us to come back feeling refreshed. They can make anything feel a little bit more new, and exciting. These are just my thoughts, please don't swarm on me. Think about it, and rationally come to a conclusion. You've got this.

Let's make a start on the positivity thing:

Yay complaint threads, whoo! \o/

[vp_cmc]

Wait.. isn't OP complaining too?

[Xyno]

The "complains" of the players make SE to make the game better

Did you ever... look back your old thread?

Think about it, and rationally come to a conclusion.

Yeah, I'd say that if complaint threads are becoming more common than positive threads, there probably is a problem.

Have you ever considered that it might be the game?

(Yes, I'm aware that's too simplistic of a view, but it's important to look at the commonalities of said complaint threads and consider their merit, rather than dismissing them outright.)

Feedback takes many shapes and forms, many of which you personally may not agree or feel comfortable with, If you are unable to handle various types of feedback in a forum designed for that purpose perhaps you should heed your own advice and take a break from it.

Additionally as the point was raised earlier, feedback doesn't happen in response to nothing. If the same complaints are seeing a rise in frequency and attention then it is the developer's place to decide whether they have merit or are too negative, last i checked it isn't your sensitivities that keep the game running but rather the collective subscriptions of the many players posting who have a right to voice their own opinions regardless of how you may feel about their tone in doing so.

I see it as feedback
I'd rather not see this place become a hug box like reddit, although the line is nearly crossed.
I have so many problems with this game but I like it just enough to play it, that and I'm helpless against anything with FF in the title.
