[Suggestions] Ways to Prevent and Eliminate Toxic Culture
"
When I write suggestions, I don't expect changes to come. I put them up just to say I have and go on the record. One of the reasons I'm at peace with stepping back from this game is the fact that there's no direct communication or recognition from developers. You will have staff say, "I'll forward these suggestions to the developers." Do we know that they sent our suggestions over? No. We kinda take them at their word. Do we know the developers received them and are incorporating those suggestions into a new version of the game? No, because we don't have that direct engagement. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the developers see the suggestions but don't act on them because they know players will not leave en masse. Naruto Online is addictive. They built the game to be addictive. Players will complain, players will come and go, but there are little financial motive for them to make these improvements because they don't have the financial incentive to. The status quo works for them. But at some point, the Naruto Online gaming experience becomes a grind and the euphoria you may get from getting rare ninjas or achieving full breakthroughs or increasing your stats is short-lived. There will always be those players who will invest more than you in microtransactions to gain the upper edge. The developers want you to be angry, give in and pay to compete. That's their big revenue driver. But for players like me, it *s to see the same players over and over again, experience the same results over and over again, and have that happen on a daily basis with no consequence or diminishing effect whatsoever. After playing this game for four years and always feeling like I'm several steps behind, of course the aggravation got to me. Of course it did. And when I lost my cool, I had to ask myself, "Is it really worth it?" I'll be a few thousand ingots that no developer is going to write me and say, "We hear you. We get it. We're going to fix this." I'd be shocked. Then again, I probably spent $200-300 on this game, sadly. Speaking directly to the developers should be a perk, right?

[Suggestions] Ways to Prevent and Eliminate Toxic Culture

Gladly. FYI - If you read my first post, I pretty much admitted to losing my cool and shouldn't have done that. The user HisakoKuroko harassed me for several months in-game in every PVP mode and less so in Convoy & Plunder. I personally and civilly asked her to stop. She cursed me out. I reported her to Oasis in the Misbehavior Thread, took screenshots, and left it at that. About three months ago, the harassment continued. Hisako camped me in Sage World and followed me throughout the map. Before I had the rare ninjas and full breakthroughs, I was raged out. Out of frustration, I cursed at her. At the time, she told me, "It's PVP. Deal with it." She would follow me throughout Training Grounds as well, but I didn't have as much of a problem with it because players aren't thrown out of the event if they lose x amount of times in a row. About a week or so ago, I said something in group chat like, "I'm glad Hisako is attacking me less," and I was harassed by several members in group chat and private message for bringing it up. I told people to chill out. After Hisako attacked me five times in a row in Sage on Sunday, I told her privately to eff off and meant that to remain private. Then she tagged me on Discord with the screenshot and harassed me. She wouldn't stop. No one stepped in. I lost my cool and left the Discord server belonging to a group I had a lot of fun times with otherwise. Again, I shouldn't have written what I wrote, but it was out of frustration for months of stalking and harassment by a single player, which was way, way over the line.

Hey Tyler, Thank you for getting back to me. I did report this person previously, but I didn't this time because the misconduct happened on a Discord server that's not operated by Naruto Online staff. With this particular individual, they've stalked me on PVP modes and attacked me repeatedly every time the opportunity was made available to them. Their line to me has always been, "Those are PVP modes, get over it," but it's hard to "get over" mechanics where they constantly have an unfair advantage. That's one of the reasons I proposed changes to Sage World Battlefields. Minimizing the message board is a good suggestion. It's just that I see those comments sometimes and don't really see the point in having the Battle tab enabled when it's more likely than not those people don't play on the same server. It's just an opportunity for players to mouth off at each other. A flowing bracket would definitely work. The only reason I didn't suggest it is that it could be a tricky thing to implement unless you have an established algorithm for detecting when players qualify for those brackets. I'd love to work with you on honing this suggestion further. I will be taking a break from the game until I can see some of these suggestions implemented. I've made suggestions to developers before but haven't had much luck having any sort of dialogue. We'll see.

Name of offender : ChiseenServer ID : S08 - TentenShort description of the situation : Griefing. I've been harassed by this user for nearly a year. Today, he kept stalking me throughout Rogue Ninja Outburst, fought me about 7-8 times in a row. I know it's part of the game, but it's excessive.Screenshot/s as evidence :

An Open Letter to Oasis Part 2
"
A few months back, I was critical of the game in light of Tobei's allegations. I was personally harassed by one of the moderators for echoing things about Tobei's allegations that were "not true" and my posts were deleted, but the moderator wouldn't specifically specify what wasn't true. Then I was banned from their official Discord, wrote to Daiske and got no response. I actually managed to reach out to Oasis Games in China and filed a complaint. I managed to speak with someone who insisted "good changes" were coming and I should "sit tight." Now Oasis is moving forward with the refine update, so here we are. So why do I still play this game? After playing this game for two years, I've learned to appreciate it by taking myself out of the competitive equation. I can't compete anymore with those who have the money to benefit from these updates and unbalanced ninjas. I've come to accept that I will not be as "good" as those who invest hundreds if not thousands of dollars in recharges. I play Naruto Online to kill time and that's about it, really. Sure, I don't feel like I'm being listened to, but that's not going to stop me from deriving enjoyment from whatever enjoyment I can salvage.

A Brief Outburst
"
When I spoke to Oasis Support about the meta aspect of Naruto SoSP, they basically told me to trust the developers and refused to acknowledge the issues. After speaking with Oasis corporate in China a few weeks ago, however, I'm now confident they're aware of these issues. Until they resolve them, the game will remain unbalanced in favor of those who are willing to pay hundreds of dollars to enjoy a browser game that's free to play.

An Open Letter to Oasis

I've reached out to Oasis constantly and constructively for over two years, even contacted their headquarters in Hong Kong and spoke to staff about issues with the game, which remain unresolved. They simply don't care.
