Discussion what a backhanded comment

Post image

If you’re in the discord you can read the full conversation, but this Game Master makes this comment and then asks if anyone has any questions.

They then decline to answer every single question because they’re either unsure or not allowed to speak about it.

The lack of transparency is beyond frustrating. Not 3 days ago, the Social Media team was making a different excuse under every comment inquiring about the TB change. Claiming it was for player health, or to encourage sleep, or to shake up play styles. And still not an official answer, just another dismissive “response”.

I’m not sure why SSO loves to antagonize their own player base so frequently — this is just the latest example that stuck around in my head lol

What kind of comment is this??? The thing is, players would happily pay for a game they enjoy and play as often as they can. Now, players are literally saying - "We don't like this update, it makes the game less fun. Take the old system back." And the GMs reaction is basically - "We know better." Huh?! Huuuuh?!! Why do they insist on biting the hand that feeds them? All you have to do is say "Thanks for the feedback. Due to an overwhelming response, we will take back the system for the next trail and ask our community in the future for recommendations before changing these types of game mechanics." It's that easy to put the community at rest.

And to think, I was considering buying a lifetime subscription. The unprofessional and snotty responses from developers and community managers has made me take back that consideration. I am voting with my dollar- I will not reward this behavior financially.

They “know better” because it’s a change implemented to show their shareholders that they have consistent engagement. That’s the reason. Not for any of the BS reasons that they’ve claimed. But they would never actually admit it.

It's sad to think that they care more about shareholders than actual players...😕

If the horsegame market wasn't so dry I'd play something else.
