Let's Focus on Real Issues

[Hamma]

I’ve seen enough negativity as of late that I felt the need to create this post.

PlanetSide Universe has always been an outlet for the community since the days I first bought it online. We’ve had good times and bad of course but I feel we have always had a pretty solid community where elitism and trolling was at a minimum.

We are now at a critical crossroads that many of you probably don’t even think about. The more negativity and attacking of the developers on this forum the less likely they are to frequent it. Not to mention they are far less likely to find anything at all useful here when they arrive.

I encourage all our users brand new and Veteran to think before they post. I’m not pretending like everything is perfect because it is not, but complaining in a thread that the devs said they would listen to the community but now they obviously aren’t because release is November 20th is not constructive and quite frankly pointless. The release date is now set in stone, there is no use in complaining about it.

Here are some examples of pointless threads and arguments that contribute nothing.

1. Complaining about how the water isn't deep enough.
2. Complaining about how PlanetSide 2 is clone of _INSERT FPS HERE_
3. Complaining about how X PlanetSide 1 System is not included without reasons why it should be.

We have enjoyed what is arguably the most involved development team in online gaming today. I expect everyone to respect the time they spend and if you have a point to get across make valid and calculated reasons as to why. We will begin handing out infractions to people who would rather just attack and never provide any meaningful feedback. Before the official forums we were the only outlet they had to get feedback from the community. Now I can’t help but think our feedback is becoming less and less relevant because it’s just a bunch of veterans complaining about features that won’t be implemented from PlanetSide 1. I can assure you the Developers have already read it and it doesn’t need to be rehashed for the 10,000th time.

My vision has always been a constructive community where developers, new players, and veterans were welcome to express their points without fear of attack. I am not asking everyone to pretend like there are not problems, far from it. I am asking that if you are going to post do so in a constructive contributive manner that the devs can actually use. This includes saying “Implement X feature because it worked in PlanetSide 1” instead “Implement X feature from PlanetSide 1 because it would help in Y way”

Thanks all for taking the time to read.
