Is no one happy?

[Rilifane]

Well given that apparently the forum won't let you post unless you've logged in within the past like 1 or 2 weeks... The unhappy ppl on the forum are apparently paying a sub just to complain... >.>

And what exactly is wrong about complaining? Or critizising something? Or being unhappy with certain aspects of a game?
Has it crossed your mind that some people do like the game but see some serious flaws and would prefer to have them addressed and for things to improve instead of just jumping ship? It is fine to be unhappy with things and voice concerns and it is still possible to enjoy other aspects of the game and have hope for it.
But if the response for everything is "then just don't play it" or "good thing the devs don't listen to anyone anyway" then we have problems. Not now or at least not for everyone but this is exactly the attitude that resulted in the downfall for a lot of other MMOs, not just WoW.

It's not all black and white, the "whiners" don't hate the game or pay the sub just to complain on a forum. Seriously, why would you think that someone does that instead of the much more logical conclucion that they are unhappy with some things but also enjoy enough things to still pay the sub? Just because someone doesn't preface every critique with a long wall of text of things they enjoy doesn't mean they hate the game.

This "you're all just whiners, go play something else if you hate it this much lmao" attitude really needs to stop...

WoW's downfall wasn't due to ppl saying if you don't like it, don't play it. It's the fact that Blizzard made so many bad decisions on content direction that large amounts of people actually did just drop the game to find something else because they realized they spent years paying for a subscription to a game they no longer enjoyed playing and could no longer turn a blind eye to it hoping it would get better with the next expansion.

But then you didn't post caring about any of that. You just simply wanted to try and create an illusion of being a "good person" in front of an online community. Considering how long you've apparently been here you should know by now only a very small amount of the complaints or criticism for the game on this forum are actually constructive. The rest is just a bunch of nonsense attempting to get attention mixed in with trolling attempts.

Me personally. I play a game until I no longer enjoy playing it. Then I move on. I'll leave feedback on things I would like changed or bugs I run across while playing it. The point of playing a game is enjoyment. If you truly aren't enjoying playing a game then you should go find a different title rather than spend your days paying a sub just to sign into the game once a week for a few minutes so you can piss and moan for months and years on end on a forum. There is no shortage of game titles out there. Nothing says you must play something that's main stream or just released. Find something you do like and play it instead. It's a far healthier solution.

This is an awful mentality. If we see the devs to a game we enjoy making bad decisions and driving people away we should just let them drive us away instead of telling them that they're making a mistake? We should just stand by and watch if we think this game we like is going into the shitter? I would quite like the game to get better and make improvements that make it more fun, so I think I'll continue to "piss and moan for months and years on end" until the poor decisions come to an end.

Also I'd really like for you to define "constructive criticism" and explain how it differs from what any of us here post about.
