No addressing of the secuity/privacy issues with the blacklist in the last patch.

Genuinely embarrassing that such a huge issue wasn't addressed let alone mentioned that they were working on it in this patch.

Honestly their utter passiveness with everything external to the game, even if it has a direct impact on the game itself is just getting more and more concerning at this point.

Their reaction reflects the current state of the game: complete apathy.

In due time the players will respond just in kind as well, to be honest. Even I am at that stage. What was once filled with optimism (grossly misplaced), is filling with just complete and utter apathy. If I weren't playing with/for friends then I probably wouldn't be playing this at all right now.

I saw the euphemism a while ago, but it's the McDonalds of the MMO genre.

"In due time," nah it's already happening. They lost like 400,000 people according to that one site that tracks lodestone garbage, and if you look at the player trends on steamcharts we're edging into 2020 levels of player activity. This is with roughly 2 months to go before 7.2.
These forums lock you out of commenting if you haven't logged onto the game in 14 days. It's an effective way of silencing critics who were moved enough to actually unsubscribe. If they really cared about player feedback (they don't), these types of restrictions would not exist, because devs would be eager to hear from quitters to learn why they were about to leave.
Only reason I can even post right now and say all this is because I logged in during the free login campaign. I imagine in 10ish days I'll be gone again though. Just remember, everyone you speak to on these forums is paying to continue posting here. The people who actually put their money where their mouth was were all effectively soft-banned.

Not caring makes it very easy to ignore lessons you learned and gave a presentation on.

Due to lack of communication it is hard to know what is going on and easy to generate negative theories, but I have sometimes wondered if the success has gone to his head and he is living in a can't do no wrong world now.


"I don't need these people, I can have an MMO without the people I am that good!" Lol.


These things are slow to respond though, and currently the data probably still says "it's fine-ish". People can hang on for a while (exhibit a is me lol ......). On one hand this just might be a personal issue and everyone is drink mana from up high, but on the other hand I wonder if only failing will wake up the silent ship.

Could it be?...The AA's words ring true?!?!

Anyway-

They most likely won't care as much as people think they should. If they do actually acknowledge it then I am genuinely expecting nothing more then the generic "3rd party tools are bad, please don't use them" and that's really about it and they move on.

By Friday, Yoshi better hope he has a somewhat convincing speech that can their explain recent activity (even if it's bs like usual). Even Hironobu cannot save him from a mob of confused and frustrated gamers.
