Do we though? I don't know anymore. Right now the rules seem to be, say that Oasis' farts smell like fresh baked cookies while carefully dancing over any words that might be considered to be an attempt to incite drama™ (heck since I said fart right there, this post is probably a goner)

There was plenty worthy of removal, and plenty where removal was over the line. Fact is, there are many of us that are d.o.n.e. at this point, and the only actions that could possible make us trust Oasis, or consider recharging ever again, simply aren't going to happen. There is no community dialogue possible, to get us what we want now. We're disappointed too.

Win the game? Honestly, what does that even look like for you, because I'm genuinely curious.

Play by the rules all we want at this juncture, for me Pandora is out of its box. They could literally throw free epic refines at players now, and that wouldn't solve anything on my end as the system going higher itself, is the problem. We couldn't stop cave key runes, we couldn't stop refines, and we probably can't stop % tactics either. Nothing short of a rollback would actually be a win for me. Updates we hate feel inevitable, things we've been promised for years keep getting pushed back and forgotten, despite being brought up here all the time. I've lost so many in game friends over the last week, and they aren't coming back. I'm beyond mad at this point, and I'm just depressed.

Renji I want you to understand that I appreciate what you're trying to do. It's clear that you love the game just like I do, and you're doing your best to save it as much as possible. I wish you good luck, but it's too late for me. I'm taking a knee and running out the clock, hoping EN doesn't get the Thai treatment

Are you actually suggesting that the reason Oasis isn't listening to player feedback is the manner in which we conduct ourselves on the forums?

Wow, you really are then. Alright, then lets address this.

If I am offering a service to people, and the feedback is overwhelmingly negative, yet I push back directly into their feedback, doubling down on what they are telling me they don't want, then it wouldn't be unexpected for the customer/client to be upset, rude or even hostile towards me. It's awful customer service. Not listening to their honest feedback because of their decorum would be a childish business move and wouldn't even cross my mind. If any of my employees had that sort of attitude, they wouldn't be the type i'd expect to go very far.

But....but let's be very crystal clear here. EVEN IF, that wasn't the case, it would be completely irrelevant. We have confirmation by those who have worked in close contact with Oasis, and we know that

A) They don't actually care what is written on these forums at all, and you're deluding yourself if you think they do

B) They ignore even the consul of the community faces who DO care about what we write here. That's why we have had some big names resign with such a depressed disposition. We are told it's pointless by the very people who are fighting for our interests, with the nearest voice to the ear of the dev.

I know you want to do things the right way, but dude, I just don't know how to say this without sounding like a *; You've got this fantasy world in your head that just isn't helpful. You can scold people here for being angry all you want, but you're just factually wrong, if you think it matters to Oasis. they. dont. care.
