The Perfect Response to "Take a Break"

[Nokuushi]

This is my first time using this forums, normally I just read and lurk but... Seeing Noumenon post after post embolden me to prove to you that moderation is still here on the forum.

The reason they tell you to take a break is simple: they cannot handle any criticism. Their ego is tied to the game, and the moment you criticize the game, it's as if you personally insulted them. The lengths at which they go to harass, witch-hunt, and doxx criticizers, not to mention some who even sent death threats to those who criticize, says it all.

Hahahahahahaha

Coming from the user who often gets banned by the mods. None other can manage to achieve such a feat.

The lengths you would go at against fellow forum poster....

Normally, when someone close to you is dealing with an actual crisis, the smart thing it's to listen to their frustration, let them vent and, if possible, help them find a solution, in that order.

I don't know you.

I'm not your friend.

Nor your girlfriend.

Don't vent to me and to strangers if you don't like the solution. And you being burnt out with the game is not a crisis.

I mean you could say that, yes - However, in the same vein if you continually sit in a game that does not please you in any capacity, and has settled in a direction that you vehemently disagree with (Even after they have tried both) - Then it is entirely self-inflicted anger.

Ultimately, yes, people are capable of making this decision themselves, but at times people will wonder.

Telling an angry person to calm down depends on the person's temperament, so there's no 'universal reaction' to it. Some people do and some people dont. Plus it also depends on what they are angry about. Just like that person is trying to compare the two, telling someone to take a break doesn't always mean they've played other games or even tried different things entirely. Some people just dont want to admit that they are wanting something from this game that never existed to begin with, just like some angry people dont want to listen to advice at times. Why would anyone want to concede to someone thinking irrationally anyway? Too many holes in that person's argument.

[Musashidon]

it is exactly the same thing and if said person just took a break or calmed down the problem would be gone.

can't be upset at a game you aren't playing and can't be mad if you are calm.

See the following image.

Actively telling people to not play your game leads to people actively leaving.

Hmmmm. . . what could possibly be the result?

And what does come out of this result? Devs having to take much the feedback seriously thus making the game better omg who wouldve thought that the push they needed was losing money!
