Sadly boycotting/voting with your wallets never works, as seen with countless other MMOs and franchises. Companies are content to allow their games or franchises to decline and will ignore criticism that would put them back on the track. They'll milk the people still hanging on as much as possible until the thing is finally dead, and then reboot it a decade later to try to cash in on nostalgia and brand name recognition.
Seriously, you make me happy so much with your posts, I laugh at them every time. The only motivation to come here. And to read the OP weird thoughts, of course. Especially weird his posts where he states that he has been playing this game since patch 2.0, although there are no facts about it
dont worry, I am sure they are on reddit or something, besides, just like EVERYBODY hates the patch, EVERYBODY knows that the OP has played like.. forever... gave Yoshi tips on how to save the game after 1.0 even...Seriously, you make me happy so much with your posts, I laugh at them every time.

That's only certain companies and certain IPs.Sadly boycotting/voting with your wallets never works, as seen with countless other MMOs and franchises.

Yoshi P isn't perfect but I'd be wiling to bet he's one of the few heads that truly cares about the game they're running
It's funny. But simply he sometimes makes such a statement about the content situation, how the game is, how it develops, as if he tried absolutely every piece of content in the game and understands every aspect of the game (I would not be surprised if even in Lord of Verminion he is a master). Although in fact the OP doesn't like the game and is trying to make a point that everyone doesn't like the game, either in terms of story or gameplay
If anything, I don't think the game is perfect and there are moments both good and bad. But far from being as deplorable as OP is trying to make it out to be. Who, in my opinion, has a slightly weaker idea of the game than it actually is. And he started playing somewhere near the end of SHB
Sad truth because I don't think over half of the active players are gonna drop what they are doing. Veteran players from earlier expansions much like the voice of this forum are just a small minority in the grand scheme of things.Sadly boycotting/voting with your wallets never works, as seen with countless other MMOs and franchises.

I mean I resubbed for the PvP gear because FOMO so I'm part of the problem.
There's also the reality that if you spend your time mainly here on these forums, you start getting the impression that the "negative" takes are actually normalized across the playerbase. In reality, the game as it one of its highest points of all time, with EW being rated almost as high as ShB and having a significantly larger playerbase to boot (even the "lulls" late in patches are much more active than similar "lulls" in past expansions). Most of the players are simply playing the game and enjoying it rather than complaining here.Sad truth because I don't think over half of the active players are gonna drop what they are doing.

Correct. The ingame community is a much better place then the Forums, Influencers or the The Balance.There's also the reality that if you spend your time mainly here on these forums, you start getting the impression that the "negative" takes are actually normalized across the playerbase.

The Expansion sold very well and that's all that really matters. I don't foresee too many changes.
