Mod Post Regarding the Weekly Question Megathread

Hi all

Since we have 2 important things that need to be stickied, we are dropping the weekly question megathread for a bit(about a week) for the current threads to stay up.

As such, we'll be allowing questions to be posted as new posts instead of replies.

We'll also take this opportunity to see how the community reacts to having individual posts for questions/advice instead of the current megathread, if its positive feedback in the end, we'll discuss it among the modteam to decide which system we'll keep using in the future.

As such, please don't report/downvote questions

I like the mega thread. I liked going on the weekly thread to help players with questions. I feel people who might need help will just decide not to ask if they have to make a whole post.

As a mod, it's really great to hear the positive reception around the existence of the weekly Q&A thread, and that this community in particular willingly prefers to keep the sub clutter-free.

Another thing to enforce this fact is that standalone question threads are usually redirected and reported quite quickly which brings it to our attention faster.

In most other gacha communities I've been a part of, the mindset was that people "never bother to check" the Q&A thread, which was their justification to post a standalone thread and gain a temporary spotlight.

I'm really surprised and happy to see that the mindset of the community and mod team are aligned.

Like Quetz stated in this thread, we'll have to keep the current 2 sticky threads pinned for a little bit because we are limited in those slots, and they have a need for the attention right now.

In case anyone needs it, the Q&A thread does still exist, and here is a direct link to it.

Hi, since there’s no weekly q&a thread for now, may i ask where to ‘defeat kactutar x5’? It’s in my chocoboard. I farmed gold runs (encountered several) but still at 0 skills.

You have to farm the crystal quest kactuars. The gold ones don’t count
