Dev Harassment is concerning

[Retrisar]

The developers are aware of the issue, and aware that people are rightfully upset about it. I really fail to see how piling on additional vitriol and personal insults towards the developers is supposed to accomplish anything.

They aware of the issue and what they do about it ? Nothing . Housing is a nothing new , they just make it worse
They might say that they gonna work on it , after 3-5 year they'll might create half finished new system and call it a day.
If we not gonna breath on their neck - they wont do a thing and bunch white knights defending them wont fix a problem - they are part of problem.
I would personally put a billboard on the front of SE saying : FIX EARLES HROTHGARS AND BROKEN HOUSING SYSTEM !

Sure I have called things done incompetent at times because it truly feels this way sometimes. But by all means will I treat a corporation with any degree of respect. A corporation is not a person. I will treat the people involved with respect, but not a faceless multi billion dollar corporation. Square as a whole will never be talked nice to it is not a person but a brand. Just as EA for me will never receive respect because it is not a person, it is a name for a business nothing more.

Square does not make the game....

Will not threaten developers most random but when you at best fail to ignore zero and at the worst null entire database during maintenance I must question how you still have a job.

I am not sure average age of player base but most of us have RL job probably and we will often get unhappy, frustrated, angry costumer even if we do our best, sometimes turns out their complaint actually makes sense.
It is something bad when you do your job with love.. and a few costumer bother you with negativity (sometimes for very minor things) but it is what it is.
I am sure SE team mature enough to handle it as long as people keep it civil.

Have had entire mountains of vitriol spewed at me during unplanned downtime of free service I hosted.. when lightning struck some of my servers. Aye aye am certain they are well experienced in this stuffs and can handle it. Look through github issues section if you wish to see skyrocketing levels of passive aggressive bug reporting. Those are most amusing to read

Pull request titled - Stinky doo doo code. Yummy. You kinda learn to accept that when there are issues people will experience unhappiness in any field.

They have been working on the game for almost 2 decades there isn't really any excuse why they are consistent with bungling things. When the community requests orange and they give yellow instead of just orange. That's just corporate nowadays they come out with solutions from left field that don't make sense and are completely illogical.

I don't understand this concept of "devs slave away to make this game for us". We pay them for it. This game is incredibly successful and has been so for a decade. They make a shitload of money out of it. They sell a ton of housing items for real money in their cash shop. So when a system that was a highlight of their expansion marketing and a highlight of their 6.1 patch marketing, that uses a lot of the items they readily accept your real money for from the Mogstation, simply does not work, people should just be all, "Oh well, they worked hard at it"? I understand telling people to not go over the top with their feedback, that is just normal human expectations. Yeah, there will be plenty of asshats who take it too far, but making a forum post saying, "Don't be mean" isn't really accomplishing much other than farming for a few likes and upvotes on the internet. When you release something broken, there will be pushback. The devs aren't "slaving away" for free just to put a smile on your face or some nonsense.

A wise man once said: Working hard doesn't mean working smart.

In any case, yeah, I agree. This is not a F2P game, it's a sub based game and we paid for the sub on top of the expansion along with other cosmetic stuff from the Mog store, we have all the rights to express our opinion. Those who doesn't think so need a reality check.

At the end of the day, we’re customers buying a product and nothing else. Square Enix, Blizzard or whoever else aren’t my friends, they’re doing it as a profession and I’m doing it as a hobby with disposable income. I’m entitled to criticise it, even harshly, and I’m also entitled to stop buying it. The key issue with MMOs is that they’re intended to be cash cows for executives so if enough of us stopped playing, for example, there would be questions for the devs to answer internally but that’s not the players problem.
