Free Login campaign is another way to not pay a sub and still voice out your concern but that doesn't happen pretty often.

Despite all that 'barrier' however, that this many negative feedback still bubble up their way to this forum (with increasingly more frustration expressed as time goes by!) only makes me think how it shows their poor code of conduct when it comes to receiving, listening, and reacting to feedbacks in general.
Except that this place has always been a cesspool of negativity, even when the game was running expansions that were phenomenally popular. ShB is practically universally viewed as the "best" expansion, but if you were around the forums during that time, you'd think it was the worst thing SE ever did. And it's not "increasingly more frustration" - I've been here a long time, it's always been like this. Which in a way sort of makes sense - people who are happy are mostly just playing the game, while people who aren't complain, both to do so and eventually knowing they'll get an echo chamber egging them on around here. During ShB, it was the people who didn't like how the Ascians and Sundering got retconned. During EW, it was the people who didn't like how the retcon got retconned itself. During DT, it's the people who didn't like the "happy vibes" approach, sudden shift in the middle of the MSQ, or are just part of the segment of the gaming population who couldn't stand that they hired a trans VA. It's whoever is dissatisfied that spends most of their time here, while the people who like each set of changes just go back to playing the game.
