Current Problem Parallels

People act like constructive criticism doesn't exist.

It's truly a labor of love for a player to sit there and write out the issues they find, breaking them down and explaining why that player feels they are issues and then proceeding to offer detailed suggestions for fixing said issue. For another player to simply throw all of that away without any consideration is cruel, selfish and immature.

A lot of feedback isn't constructive tho, and trends towards dev bashing and "just make it better"

A lot of it might not be but there's no reason to give the feedback that is constructive the same harsh treatment.

Though to be fair, it isn't really our job. I see a lot of people say "You need to provide constructive criticism!" No. I really don't. The playerbase can express discontent and it's up to, wild position I know, the project manager to gauge and figure out where the sore spots are that causes lashbacks so they can construct a plan to alleviate them. Yes, constructive criticism is helpful, but not mandatory and far from expected from it's community. I'm not here to create a thesis on what's wrong with the game. I'm here to play it. And if the game is becoming unfun because of decision made the by the devs, it's their job to figure out and reevaluate these decisions, not mine to offer a ten step plan to happy good time success.

OK, but they make changes based on said feedback, and a lot of people will come back here and complain about how that "wasn't what they meant"


So if you are going to do that.... Well, it's kind of on you lol.


"I hate this". And "this is why I hate this and what I would prefer" are two very different statements. One is useful and one is not. You don't have to right a dissertation.... A paragraph is enough generally lol....
