Sorry SE, but endgame won't work if you don't fix something.

what do their posts say here? because I did a google search and only found yoshi's statement saying they are looking into it.

Have they been effective? not really, but doesn't mean that they won't be. This game has been out for what? 1 month? other MMO's had worse issues and they solved them down the line. If you don't like the state of things right now then don't play till they fix them. I know it's not what you want to hear but it is what it is. Does it bother me? hell yes! I can't fight garuda because of it and have stopped trying, and I don't even want to try titan. Will I wait it out? yes, because I view this for the long term. Whatever you do, good luck!

The problem is not them being effective, I think everybody here understands things are not fixed in one night, and honestly, most people complaining about it are being constructive and "pacific", only VERY few are doing so in a "omg i'll unsubs!" or "FU FIX PLZ" manner.

People has been continuously reporting this, and they feel they're being ignored, and then the biggest post in the forums gets LOCKED with a random answer that clearly shows they haven't even bothered to read the first post.

They unlock the post, then say "oh sorry, we're happy to let you continue discussing end-game", when this post wasn't about end-game at all, clearly another sign they're not reading what people is posting in this huge thread.

Other issues (and not issues) are getting more attention than this (which isn't getting any at all), and this is what annoys people.

Having the right topic title might have helped.

If I say I'm going to discuss flowers (topic title: flowers), and I only discuss one particular flower's ecosystem, well maybe someone will think the topic is still flowers generally, not just THAT flower. Endgame is more than just avoiding aoes, and more than just Titan HM, for example.

Don't you think mods should actually read the topic before locking it?

While I do not disagree on proper formatting, many threads of more correct and exact titles had already existed with many of their own replies and opinions, possible fixes, etc; Those threads were equally ignored by SE, so as it is customary, a more provocative titles was used in hopes of grabbing attention. In terms of flowers, the mod did not just assume we were discussing one type of flower the mod saw flowers in the title and said 'So, I hear you're concerned about the environment'.

People are upset because the mod only bothered to read the title, that is like someone reading the cover of a book and guessing at the contents, they did not even read the dust-jacket. Format aside, there are other ways to know whether a thread might warrant more than a casual glance at the title, perhaps the three quarters of one hundred pages of concerned players wishing they could enjoy the game.

Defending anyone, especially someone who holds a position of authority and supposedly represents SE, for exhibiting this kind of at best, extreme laziness, at worst severe and debilitating incompetence, can only be an exercise in charity. One cannot blame the paint for the boat sinking, the rust should have been a clue.
