I keep seeing people saying "stop complaining" and I don't think they actually understand how important feedback is. Good, or bad, feedback is how a game evolves.
If 1 person dislikes something the BEST thing they can do to get it changed, fixed, or altered is post on the official forums. The current great example of that was JP gear, Item level, and rep requirements. A single person complained, and then a bunch of others complained - and blizzard saw how unhappy their player base was. This was quickly fixed.
THIS is how players get things changed. Outrage from the gaming public is how the gaming public gets things done. Good arguments against said systems tell the developers why players dislike, and some even give possible solutions, but even just "I don't like this" and hundreds of other people saying the same thing will eventually spark conversations as to the reasoning behind it and give both players, and developers something to think about.
Complaints, this is how the world is changed for the better - both in game and irl. Positive feedback is somewhat useful, but negative feedback is how we fix what's broken. If there is no feedback, how is one to know there's an issue?
Arguments, discussions, disagreements, these are all great things for the future of our time sink of choice. So when you see someone post a negative post on a function in the game - rather than just saying qq more, or something to that effect - Point out WHY they are wrong. Focus on the reasoning behind why you dislike his ideas. This will only serve to make the conversation richer to all who may read it.

Actually, if I can provide a slight counter-point to this: We've learned over time that even the most positive change can bring with it growing pains; with that in mind, a clear rationale, and a well-written, polite post to go along with it, carries more innate value than a hyperbolic rage post. I can't recall major changes to World of Warcraft, no matter how popular, that haven't spurred outrage from someone. Constructive feedback, on the other hand, is incredibly valuable. The fact is, there are all kinds of changes and improvements that that have been made to World of Warcraft over the years quietly, well under the radar. Some of those changes were initially spurred by a single well-considered post. No indignation required; we brought the issue up with the development team, they said, "That makes sense", and done. So, please continue giving constructive feedback of your own, and supporting the constructive feedback of others! |
