Dev Harassment is concerning

[Elkanah]

I am literally scouring through Twitter, Reddit, and these forums to find where there was a single harmful threat. Where? Where is it? Can someone please show me where all these threats are? Because I'm seeing a lot of posts on Twitter from people talking about how 'all these threats of physical violence are unacceptable'.

Ive been searching for clues like scooby and the gang since yesterday. Have yet to see any death threats. Only valid complaints. Not sure if the op understands what death threats actually look like.

Not to mention it drags down valid criticism. The housing situation is a mess. But the devs know it, and are actively working to fix the problem as they should!

Death threats meanwhile hurt everyone. The players who are shit out of luck and the devs.

my (at least to me) valid criticism is this shouldve been tested thoroughly before being made live, maybe they didnt have enough time and were under the gun with pushing back the release of EW, and didnt wanna be compared to WoW with pushing back release after release, and thats fair, but the opposite is also true, we'd rather have things working as intended than things rushed out before they are 100% ready, right?

there are those saying there should be rollbacks and no, that will anger those that actually did win, others saying we should go the way of other mmos with instanced housing, to those i say if you want that play those, the reason housing is the way it is here is for the neighborhood/community feel so people interact more and more outside of dungeons/raids

what i think would be the best is just to unlock the fc wards after fixing the bug an let those that didnt get houses (and maybe have 8-12 wards or so still restricted to FC for any possible FCs that were locked out) in the end there really arent enough plots to meet the demand, and they know it, so we will likely see another increase in over all wards at a later date, whether it will be lottery or the old system is up for debate

In retrospect it does look a bit disingenous
I havent seen a single death threat
Just "im quitting" or "yoshi p sucks" or "someone is incompetent" as the worst of it which is relatively tame, considering how the guy reacts whenever you talk to him about housing. He doesnt act like someone who is sorry or who cares at all lol so its very unsurprising

I dont know why people worship him. I dont know why anyone reveres anyone for doing a job they get paid to do

Amazing how people love to protect Devs. Don't you pay subscription for this game?
They take YEARS to change something in the PVP and then release a patch that we could clearly see that was not balanced since the beggining and you don't expect that i'll complaing about it?
This game was re-made just because people were complaining.

Oh please with that neighborhood feel crap. Countless wards are barren, with people simply idling for hours. The non-instanced housing has caused far more harm than good, and the “neighborhood feel” isn’t a valid excuse anymore. We are in 2022. With instanced housing you could still interact, you just invite people over instead of idling and standing afk out by a market board.

I don't think someone should be fired for what was very likely just a very simple accident, especially in a culture like Japan's where they take shame very seriously.

It's human error. It happens. We all do it at our own jobs sometimes.

I'm just a law intern, so i can't say for other jobs, but if I managed to piss off hundred of the firm's clients I will be fired pretty much instantly after an intensive telling off by one of the head lawyers.

Apples and oranges, I know. I'm not 100% pro them getting fired, but if they do get shown the door, I'm not gonna think too much of it. Do the crime, do the time, as they say.

I literally see nobody in my ward, and I am usually the one afking in my front lawn or running around in circles or something. When I am playing the game, I stay logged into it all day (or night), by the way.

I think they are referring to PF group names in game that people were creating. Either way Yoshi P said to respect the devs and now this is something that will be brought up anytime they make a mistake. It is like how people constantly repeat that Yoshi P said to take breaks from the game as a reason for lack of content. The community in this game can't seem to use common sense for themselves.

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.

Wow just wow. I didn't know game devs were slaves. I thought that was outlawed before our time. What a special time we live in when you can perform poorly and be compared to slaves. And at least 43 others think the same.

OP: QQ be nice to the devs! (which, BTW, I don’t patently disagree with lmao)

Also OP: YOU’RE ALL IDIOTS, INGRATES, DISRESPECTFUL BRATS, YOU DESERVE TO GET HARASSED, YOU’RE ALL WORTHLESS BLAH BLAH BLAH

Pick a side, are you an “UwU Devs Work Hard” softboi or are you a toxic individual with no spine?
