My thoughts on the community recently

Nothing creates negativity faster than the people who tell you to ignore your own issues and opinions for the sake of their happy positive illusion.

Although the OP is being a hypocrite I see their point. When we have 10+ threads all on the PvP chat drowning out other problems in the game. The reason the JP gets ideas and feedback implemented/fixed is cause they use their brains and make 1 thread and like an idea if they agree.

While this is true; this has been the case and observed as such for years, and is likely a cultural issue that isn't likely to change/stop on a game forum.

It's also a Japanese game. So naturally the Japanese market/community is going to be catered to more easily and be understood.

I'd also argue that even when concerns are both valid and kept to a specific thread here on this board that doesn't necessarily mean anything is going to come of them - even when it's something as serious as the botched EU promotion for the Maid/Butler attire and related items. Many EU players - myself included - are still waiting on a fix for that particular issue, or at least an explanation as to why so many European players ended up missing out on something that was much, much more readily and easily available to Japanese and North American players.

The vast majority of replies in that thread were and continue to be respectful, too - but it's been months since we had an update despite how major the issue actually is.

The subject of whether our communications are getting through or being replied to is one I'm not ready to touch on; I was simply referring to the tendency on the NA english forums for one topic to have a superfluous amount of threads pop up. Effectiveness in reaching the devs aside, it makes the forums a bit more chaotic in and of itself.
