How much are the devs paying you bro be honest

there's nothing weird nerds like to do more than take a bullet for a multi-billion dollar company that would be more than willing to throw them under the nearest bus if it meant increasing the price of their stocks by even a fraction of a cent.

I just keep thinking, there's no way this is an actual person behaving genuinely. Why would anyone be willing to be this embarrassing and self unaware on behalf of a corporation, on behalf of some game devs who won't even see this what with how heavily feedback gets ignored?

A) They already lost ages ago and are now trying to spin it as some sad attempt at trolling to prove they haven't "lost" by always being the last to respond.

or

B) Argue so the thread continues to be bumped because they're just as salty as the rest of us but don't want to admit it.

Maybe because they think they're special and totally wouldn't be dragged across the mud for a slight increase in profit.

It's just pathetic with some of these people. If you are perfectly content with the state of the game, how about you get out of our way so we can direct feedback without your sorry butt standing in the way. For these people everything is an opportunity to talk about issues they have zero effin clue about cuz you want to be part of a conversation for no frickin reason.

It shatters their illusion that this is a perfect game. I've noticed that some people (mostly on the FFXIV subreddit) are so heavily invested in this game that they take any criticism of the game as an attack on themselves, so they can't help but become defensive and say something in retaliation.

Reminds me of that whole situation that happened with the streamer Scottzone. He was welcomed with open arms when he first started playing the game and had a lot of praise for it, then got turned on when he gave criticism of the first tier of Eden raids. Like a complete 180 of people harassing him and sending death threats. Just sad.

I've said this before, a lot of players in this community have tied their personal identity to this game. In fact, a lot of their world revolves around it. I've seen some nasty fallout on Twitter. It's like an extreme form of escapism. Any attack on the game is an attack on them, as it's something they love.

Sadly, many players, particularly the younger playerbase that can't yet fully grasp the operation of a major corporation and its shareholders, will have a hard time accepting that SE is starting to make the same mistakes that Blizz had made in the past.

I don't think that's necessarily true. A lot of the people brushing aside criticism are like 30 something year old boomers (or older).

2022 we all sell out to something.
