Question for Intrepid

Q: What is your response to seeing members of the community tell others to "find a different game" when people have opposing views when providing feedback for ashes? How inclusive and open-minded do you want the ashes community to be when it comes to all types of constructive player feedback?

Note: I definitely feel like the community could use some direction

"This game may not be something you enjoy."

Might be slightly nicer.

I prefer to be blunt with this particular response, because being softer would just (and have in the past) lead to an endless back&forth of "noo, I'm sure I'll enjoy it, as long as they completely change THIS ONE MASSIVE PILLAR OF THE DESIGN ".

Agreed.

Being blunt is sometimes the nicest, kindest thing you can do for a person.

If someone is set in a given mindset, and that mindset is actually just wrong, sugar coating things is often going to reinforce that mindset rather than shift it.

I think we could be kinder here. There is many ways to say the something without out it being blunt. Just my two cents.

TL;DR - "This game is not for everyone" - Steven, in multiple streams on multiple occasions.

I think perhaps though there are extremist players of every category that are better targeted by this statement than a PvEer worried that they will be ganked/zerged out of the game.

As you noted, I don't think that worry is in the slightest bit valid, and those primarily PvE players have to realize that they will automatically be placed on a "team" with PvP players simply by becoming a citizen of a node.

It is going to be just as important that the mostly PvE players help out when a PvP challenge occurs, as the PvP players helping out when the PvE players need defending. If neither group are interested in co-operating, I suspect, as the PvX game title suggests, their node isn't going to be very successful.

For example, I can see 5 groups from a node showing up at the same dungeon/raid, and sending groups in one at a time, while the rest stand guard outside, whether they are yet to run it, they just want to PvP, or they have run it already.

So, IMHO I'd say that the uncooperative players at either extreme, or just bad/selfish team players in general, are the players that Steven is talking about.
