Dear OP,
At the end of the day, we can’t control everyones interest in something, due to their family issues, relationship issues, due to their work schedule, due to their life schedule, sleep schedule, food schedule, everything affects no matter how small it is.
If your friends really like the game as it is, no matter what, they will play.
It’s the same logic as, if someone wants to talk to you, they will bother replying.
If they are being calculative, being catch up or what not, decided it’s not worth their time, that’s on them.
Someone who really love Street Fighter games, someone who love DotA games, no matter how trash they are, did they quit? No. They love it so much they can just stay in bottom tier for years and they still play the same game again and again. You give me 2 days, and I will quit SF games, I think it’s too hard for me and I don’t enjoy fighting games. Do you go on forums and complain that SF games are too hard and should be nerfed until it’s as easy as those “Rock Paper Scissors” arcade games? No.
You can argue how the game could’ve been better and it can make everyone be able to play, but what you think could be the best of what you’re imagining. Everyone have their own thoughts when it comes to anything and they will think their version is the “best” and their “best” could be someone’s else “worse”. When game caters to everyones “best”, it becomes “Shit”. Back then, who cares about gender? Who cares about feminism? Who cares about race? Who cares about sexuality?
Now, when you create a game, they have to have lots of female, they have to have blacks, they have to have LGBTQIA+, they changed Jederico to black, I realized it only after seeing on wiki, that he is originally white. Who cares, why do they have to change it ?!
Yo, I will add some non-game related. Just like how freaking Dumbledore is so strong in the novel, looks normal in the first movie, but suddenly turn gay in the second movie. Such bullshittery.
Just like Godzilla movie, fine, it’s a Japanese title, but if you want to film everything in English, it’s fine. BUT suddenly some random Chinese character have to speak Mandarin!!! for that one sentence!!! And they have to reply him/her in broken Mandarin, it’s so cringeworthy… WHY!!! Does speaking Mandarin HELPS IN FINDING GODZILLA?! It’s so irrelevant and useless to the plot.
And these are someone’s idea which made the movie trash as fk.
“Let’s appeal to more audience, let’s make Dumbledore gay.”
“Let’s add a Chinese dialogue, would be so cool that Westerners can speak Chinese. But ya’know we sponsored your movie anyway.”
Shit movies.
You think the Store is meant to be cheaper than the auction house? The auction house revolves around the store, not the other way around. If the auction is more expensive than the store, it just meant there are more demand.
You ask for skins? We are getting them but only you don’t like it.
You ask for catch up mechanics? We are getting the honing buff but you feel isn’t enough.
You ask for better deals in store? I think you will like Diablo Immoral 0.89$ deal, but you have to pay $540,000 to reach end game.
When questioned, you pull out the “Friend” card. And nobody cares if you’re not at latest content. If you apply that logic, basically new players don’t have to play WoW, FF14, GW2, or any other MMO anymore, because why should they? The content is too far already.
So yeah, if you actually care about your friends, you would help them. If you actually want to play with them, you would help them. Did you bother helping? Or you just come now and say “Problem with long term”, you mean catch-up for your alts, I think you typo it as ‘friend’? Hahaha
Just like if America actually cares about their citizens wellbeing, they would remove guns already. I’m seeing so much killing instead of actual protection. Does Murica cares? No. Just like how you don’t care about your ‘friends’ anyway.
If you want to play the game, you revolve around the game, not the other way around.
If you live in America, you revolve around the system, not the other way around.
If you watch a streamer, you revolve around their community, not the other way around.
If you want to eat, you revolve around what the shop provides, not the other way around.
Do you watch a show in the cinema, hate it, tell the director to change the scenes?
Do you go to a store, don’t see what you want, tell them to sell what you need?
Do you try out a chair, don’t like it, tell them to remake the chair with materials you prefer?
Do you join a community, dislike the people, tell them to act according to how you envision?
Answer to all these are simple. It’s “No”.
No, you don’t like the movie, you stop watching.
No, you don’t see what you want, you find another store.
No, you don’t like how the chair feels, you find another chair.
No, you don’t like the community there, you leave.
If you really want to change the game’s direction, work super hard, be the CEO, change it.
Mad respect if that actually happens, and you can never try to monetize and earn a lot like what they are doing now, or you’re just a hypocrite.
Don’t be entitled.
TLDR: I’m thinking of what to eat while writing these.
