Why does Yoshida hate linkshells/communities?

[Mychael]

Losses?
Please do explain.
Every time the dev. team does something a few people don't like they all make threads with irrational titles full of their concerns which are worded in a manner that no one will take it seriously.

Like this thread.

I won't argue that point. I made my own thread, it was titled "Server Merge." Sorry if that's over the top for you. Unfortunately, threads with plain titles quickly drop to the bottom, while threads in all-caps, or threads with "HATE," "quitting," and lots of exclamation points quickly become hot topics (albeit quickly off-topic). Speaking of off-topic, I'm pretty far out there myself...

THEN: When people don't agree with you; you make assumptions about those people. Lable them and then say things like "I even gained a bit of insight about what groups this merge is helping."
What does that even mean?

(Also, @Murugan)
I was referring again to my own thread, where a new player pointed out that he'd been trouble getting into the community because it was already well-established. Scrambling players forces new communities, which gives everyone equal opportunities. I'd never thought of it that way. Nonetheless, I don't think the infux of new/returning players is enough to justify breaking up the community.

Your concerns are noted indeed, but don't sit on your high horse and pretend that your concern is more important than anyone's non-concern.

Opinions are equal. "Self-defeatist" or not. *rolls eyes*

I'm sorry if it came off that way, but I don't think my opinion is better than anyone's. I do, however, wonder why the people who are "non-concerned" are bothering to show their lack of concern. I appreciate people that show me new points, because my opinion is only limited to my experience. But I could care less for a post (not referring to yours here) that just says "It's already decided. The end."
