Yoshi-P: Flippant dismissal of player criticism is a poor look for a lead developer.

(snip...)

I'd recommend taking a look at your own advice. It seems you're complaining that people are saying only their own opinions matter, then immediately proceed to do exactly that yourself by acting as if your opinions on the status of the game are somehow objective fact (hint: they're not). The game isn't perfect, but far and away the clear opinion among the playerbase is that it's very good and generally getting better. There are several threads on this forum that feature productive discussions about how to improve certain things (see some of the race-specific threads); but ones that just declare "this game is bad because I say so" go nowhere useful, and that's exactly what you're contributing here. I would encourage you to check out various other places like Youtube or even Reddit, and you'll see many people speaking very positively about EW. That doesn't mean someone can't have a negative opinion of it, but it leads only to frustration when someone insists that negative opinion must somehow be "right" and expects the dev team to ignore the large majority of the playerbase that's satisfied just to cater to you.

If it wasn't obvious. I didn't think I'd have to do so....

/s for a majority of that post

The post wasn't made in a way that was meant to show 'I am Right'. The phrase 'If the Cap Fits, Wear it' means to take criticism from people in stride. If people don't find the game bad. That's fair. They're allowed to view it that way. What makes one thing bad to one person may make it enjoyable to another.

But if I find something bad, If I find a problem and whenever I so much as mention this problem myself and others are almost gaslit into into believing that we're the problem.
I never said that my opinion was fact.... Because I know it's not. It's just my opinion in a Sea of opinions.

Like how one thing that I don't enjoy. You may enjoy.

The opposite is the same.
I, Controversially liked the SAM change. I miss Kaiten, it was satisfying to use, but I can Live with it being removed. It's less buttons on my heavily bloated hotbars and that's coming from someone who uses 4 hotbars.

I didn't like how upon PVP's release... Everything was broken, but I understand that there was probably some people out there that really enjoyed it.

We've said it many a times in other threads. But we ain't asking for an instant change because most of what we're asking for isn't possible for an instant change. We just wanna be acknowledged rather than being swept under the rug. I in no way said in my post that negative opinions are right. Just like how my opinion of the Kaiten removal is probably against many others feelings about losing that oh-so-satisfying button.

But when all that I see on the forums is people just insulting others half of the time. It makes me wonder if the Devs even bother to look in this wasteland.

Maybe instead of trying to read inbetween the lines. You just don't.

I love this game. I have so many friends who play this game... But I don't like seeing my friends not come online because they don't enjoy the game. And if these things that ruin their enjoyment of the game distresses me too? Then the least I can do is make my opinion and feelings known.

Running games form this is not not something you do from your basement, cut the man some slack? Everytime we get something people either complain or want more and more... it is a problem, not for Yoshi P. not for the develeopment team or QA or whatever.

The problem remain with the player getting something and then constantly want more = what we call being spoiled, appreciate what we got and appreciate new things... some like bluemages... others don't... some like Eureka others do not...some like war... others like pld...

Some jobs is suddenly not the top DPS anymore... people whine about it instead of showing some loyalty to the class they switch to SMN or whichever job that does those 3-500 more dps instead.

We just got more housing? Anything wrong with that, well it is not enough, but it is a patch on the things, the problems rely on how they allow people to get multiple property still and people abuse that which is absurd and should be plugged including removal of eg. grandfathering..... people use housing as farms for pocket FC's that get hard to get materials NFT style from eg. Ships and submersibles.

People is getting too much, and they can't handle it, stop complaining and play the game instead... and yes if you need a challenge go play ultimates I could not agree more and also it is not this impossible thing that only a few can do, but it takes time to do so, so some dedication is needed, which is something that is needed...

play the game instead...

Just like any other SE white kngiht here its what you should do first. Monk loyalist that doesnt play monk.

Some jobs is suddenly not the top DPS anymore...

Where have you been when monks/reapers were kings in 6.05-6.08 and monk still stayed king in savage when after MONTH (when savage hype literally died) finally all other classes got buffs? SAM was not meta class to begin with and now SE forces me to look up anything else that wont get butchered like SAM.

SMN or whichever job that does those 3-500 more dps instead

SAM complaints are not based on log numbers and also you REALLY SHOULD TRY TO LAUCH GAME if you bring up 4th phys range summoner as example meta class to switch to.

You're a minority. "Glamour is the real endgame" is a popular phrase here for a reason.

when i need to i will post with my concerns about the game and will post my case to the programmers on needed changes to the game and take time to check and see if any are needed to the game and thank them for their time.

A minority on the forums is not necessarily a minority of the actual playerbase. There are currently several hundred thousand active players, only a minuscule % of whom actually post on the forums.
