Dev Harassment is concerning

[Blackmagebro]

Hello all!

I am new to posting here and I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place for this but I feel its necessary to be said regardless. I've seen quite a lot of heated discussions about the player housing situation and a few other past events where players have felt slighted or in some way inconvenienced and overwhelmingly people have been voicing their frustrations in a way that seems a tad overkill. Frustration is one thing but calling devs names or being hysterical about this or any situation does nothing but cause real people to be stressed out. I know we often laud the dev team and Yoshi-P especially but the opposite can be true too. Very bi-polar which is to be expected from such a large MMO audience.

I hope people who read this can voice their frustrations more gently and constructively in the future. I'm sorry you were inconvenienced but this is a game that you enjoy and its a career that game devs slave at to make. the disparity between our commitments is immeasurable. They want to make the best game they can and believing otherwise is foolish. I don't mean this to be another "praise Yoshi-P!" post so please understand that I just think our collective voices when compounded have a very drastic effect on real people and we should act accordingly.

TL;DR stop being mean pls

...I'm sorry you were inconvenienced...

Beats me why the English support team love using this phrase so much. Pretty much nobody else does.

Right? Something like "We are sorry for the distress and frustration this has caused and are doing everything we can to find a solution" would be a much better response.

Yep. Reinforcing, "We really are working hard to get this solved fast, and will provide regular updates on our progress". That's much better wording the English support people could use.

why do you care so much about the wording?

I dont know which would be less true. The "sorry" part or the "were working on it"

It's a direct translation from japanese. It's a very common phrase used by people and companies when they make a mistake. Being an Inconvenience to someone in japan is something VERY bad in their culture.
