Why does Yoshida hate linkshells/communities?

[Murugan]

You paint a picture of a developer that is damaged goods and completely inept. You post on a forum that requires you to pay a monthly fee for said developers game in order to post. Your giving someone you think all these horrible things about your hard earned money each month? Even MORE curious, you state he has screwed you more than just this past time. And yet you remain. I would spend less time questioning this Yoshi fellow, and more time questioning the decisions your making, because, by your own admission, they are foolish and unwise.

Make sure the 25 people that gave you the thumbs up join you.

Jesus christ why don't you go bump your own thread asking for a poll so you can see that 70-80% of people in that too still don't want the crappy option 4, instead of flaming me for a post I made after the initial announcement and before any of Yoshida's posts since then which all apologized to the community for what was admittedly an insensitive and highly controversial decision

I guess I missed the part where I said he was damaged goods or completely inept, or that I didn't like the game or even that I would quit if I didn't get my way. I like a lot of things about the game, and his decisions. However several of his decisions have been very harmful to linkshells including the stupid personal loot lists for primals and his initial proposal for how server merges were handled.

People overwhelmingly disapproved and he changed his mind. The only reason that people didn't do the same for personal loot lists is because the primal loot is not needed or that important to linkshells, as soon as we get that loot expect it to be an issue of similar magnitude (but more than likely they will abandon it before then, because again the vast majority of people overwhelmingly dislike the primal loot system).

The difference between me and you is that I do give up fights I can't win, like I think exp should be much harder to come by and the path to max level should both take longer and encourage grouping more than it does. But I see that isn't likely to happen, and I'm just glad they have actually given those of us who like traditional MMO grouping the option to do so without severely handicapping ourselves (as in other MMO's).

I don't beg for a player poll to reaffirm my position on the matter which is in the obvious minority.

Face it we were right, and Yoshida now at least recognizes how much of a problem it is. That's why this forum exists as much as you hate it when things don't go your way. Yet ironically you come here and flame me for whining...

Only thing that's obvious is people like you are clueless and simply intent on finding something to whine about.

And yet the majority of people also felt a need to "whine about it" maybe because it wasn't something that was insignificant to them, but posed a serious problem for them and the friends they played with.

Whatever, you can continue to attack me it doesn't bother me because in the end people that actually make the decisions on these things actually listened to our concerns, despite the best efforts of sycophantic white knights like yourself to use your little personal attacks to derail the debate. Maybe next time try arguing on the merits of the position you take instead of just hurling insults.
