    Need a way to submit feedback outside the forum

    Sorry but this forum is toxic and I really hope no one is deluded enough to argue against that. The squeaky wheel gets the grease -- and a lot of these squeaky wheels love to shut people down, follow them off-site to harass them, and generally act like middle school bullies.

    You've really got people on here who think forum seniority makes their opinions more valid. Y'all. This is where players are told to bring their feedback. Of course there will be critical threads by people who don't post "Wuk Lamat talks too much" 20 times a day.

    Mods, if you don't want to be shutting down threads that devolve into bigoted vitriol, please consider not funneling all feedback through the forums.

    yea the forums everywhere online for every game are a feeding ground for people who aren't normal by any -good- measure to try to feel normal by establishing a fake and perceived "dominance" over other people by tearing them down and their ideas as well as forming fake "connections" with others by getting likes via trying to be the first one to reply with the snarkiest comment in hopes everyone else will think it's funny.

    Eventually the law of gravity takes place, forming the cesspool into a bigger entity that's almost impossible to ignore and get rid of by average people who aren't moderators. This newly formed planet of toxicity draws enough attention to itself eventually that it begins to shape opinion by accumulating the weakest of the remainders little by little.

    I could draw a connection to this by citing studies done on influencing public opinion, BUTT most people here have never been ready for that.

    You're not a fan of echo chambers? That's mostly what any community is these days, you are either torn to shreds or get to live the tale on anything you say.

    Hi how are ya glad you could make it. For starters-

    It's not 1990 anymore, forums for feedback should not be a thing. As a matter of fact, I'll bet my last month of sub that most players don't even know you can leave feedback for the game, or that the forums exist at all. They're used to games being....idk more modern than 2001. I'm sure there's a million reasons why the forums are the only way, and I shouldn't agree with you, but I don't really care about that stuff since I'm just an internet stranger first, and a soon to be no-longer-paying-customer second. No one will sweat my drop in the bucket, so why should they care about my feedback? It's the only way I can rationalize the dev's not modernizing or asking players what they think. They need a containment zone for complaints, and the crab bucket known as the forums is the best place for it. Gm's, well, their whole deal is a real bag of marbles, so I neither blame them for it nor do I really think much about them either. I think that's how they like it in Japanese culture anyway - seen, not heard. And they apply the same philosophy to the western team as well.
