A note to Devs that may not be paying attention: The rage posts seem more serious this time.

I get it. I’ve been a part of many gaming communities over there years, and in all of that time, the forums were always a constant mess of complaining or otherwise lamenting how “terrible” the game was becoming.

“Why haven’t you nerfed this yet?! WTF Devs!” “I haven’t been able to ____ in months, pls buff!” “This game is trash, I’m leaving.” All perfectly normal, constant posts in any given game forum.

I’m sure it is very easy to brush aside the current complaints as “just more noise.”

However, in all the years of all of the games that I have played, I have never seen quite this many “I’m leaving” QQ posts all at once or one thing so solely raged about in tandem quite as much as damage/short games are here.

There is a feeling on these forums that is different this time. It is hard to describe. There is this idea that the developers honestly no longer care about the playability of the game over the length of time the game takes. And, I don’t mean “no longer care” in the rage post sense that gets tossed about for kicks by the “QQ I’m leaving” posts. I mean quite seriously, a significant portion of the playerbase on these forums just exude the underlying assumption that devs don’t care about playability, even when they aren’t raging.

...You may want to listen to these ones. That is all.
