Time to Quit

[Iscah]

We're at a stage where it's impossible to tell if this is a joke or fully serious.

That particular poster does nothing (to my experience) but exaggerated mockeries of "I'm happy with the game as it is" posts. They're clearly not serious.

Really? You don't understand why hard content needs good rewards?

Okay, what happens when people who seek a challenge get their one clear of it and see there's nothing to reward them for their trouble? They stop doing it. The content becomes dead content.

Overcoming the challenge is the reward. If that's not a thing that gives you joy, you don't do it. Simple as that.

If there's a material reward, people will play it to get the reward, then stop, and the content will be just as dead.

Regardless of the reward, tangible or intangible, you're still going to have some fraction of players who want to to it for the first time, and some who have the reward but are happy to step in and replay it for the sake of it.

I'm not trying to suggest going out of the way to make positive only feedback posts in addition to the negative ones but when discussing things that you aren't enjoying, it may be helpful to mention the things you are enjoying as a comparison point.

That's why posts in the vein of "my opinion on XXX", positive or negative, are not really a good thing for a forum format.

The ideal setup – and I wish the mods/community team would encourage it by starting topics to form the framework – is to make a neutral thread about the game features as they are released, and then everyone can come to that thread and say what they thought of it, good or bad.
