    There seems to be a sort of vicious cycle here with posts criticising the game. It goes something like this:

    Person #1: posts complaint (by making topic)
    Person #2: posts agreement/rebuttal
    Person #3: posts agreement/rebuttal
    Person #4: posts a short, snarky rebuttal. Gets more Likes than the others and is usually crowned the "de facto response" to the topic's criticism: often results in people Likepiling on top of it instead of writing out their own thoughts.

    Tell me you haven't seen this pattern repeated at least a few times in the recent past. Honestly, I'm beginning to wonder if people are making posts like it on purpose to get invisible "internet points", although that's pure conjecture on my part.

    For troll posts it's fine, but for something that was clearly written with genuine thought, it may have the effect of stiffling conversation that should probably be happening. Regardless if it's for or against.

If players stop working on the content even with rewards incomplete (like Pagos when it first came out), it will send a clear sign that changes need to be made.
