Time to Quit

[ZephyrMenodora]

It really seems like Storm is right and some people on here think if you dislike part of the game you should just quit regardless of liking other parts.

Like, Awesome you dislike hrothgarwhy don't you just quit!

Yes also agree with Storm on that. Though most of my posts are positive, this game has a ton of misses for me on content. I just don't do any of it and don't care enough to talk about how much I dislike it.

I'm pretty much the opposite of this. A lot of my posts are negative (there are positive ones), but there are still things I like in this game. I just don't feel the need or desire to post about those as often. I don't really like the notion that some people seem to want to push where there is some requirement for you to balance out your positive/negative posts with the other kind.

Some misunderstandings may be happening if posters aren't being specific about what's bothering them. Many do come across as hating everything because they're using broad sweeping terms. "Content is bland, there's no replay value" makes it sound like that's their opinion of everything in the game when maybe all they had in mind was MSQ dungeons but they didn't include that information.

No one here is a mind reader, we come from a variety of backgrounds, and human beings are prone to try to fill in blanks based on their own experience when there is missing information. Being detailed about the problem instead of leaving it open for others to draw their own conclusions helps to prevent that and keep conversation constructive.

Yeah, when I have criticized aspects of the game, it is because I want(ed) to see the game do better. I will praise a feature, or defend something if I think it is good or receiving undue criticism, but I think it's very reductive if I was to just blindly defend things. Even while defending an aspect of the game, you can acknowledge that there are issues with whatever it is. This has gotten me in some hot water on occasion, with people - apparently - thinking I am on one "side" or another.

I do want to see change for the better, or better quality in general!

Same, but opposite. A lot of my posts are negative. I still enjoy spending time with my friends in this game, but job design is a thing that touches the vast majority of content in this game. Its downward spiral is something I've been opposed to ever since I first smelled it in Stormblood, and it's only become worse ever since.

I'd be a lot more positive if this game just had throwaway branch content I could ignore if I had no interest in it (it does). When the trunk of the tree has rotted, I'm going to tell Square to cut it out. Boring, awful job design taints so much.
