lol? You're being so ironic, and (as far as I can tell) you're not even joking! You may not saying "You are wrong" to people, but that's not the only way to show that you feel people are wrong. You haven't been accepting of a single critique in this post. You have a response to everything, and every counter-point you've made has been either subjective or unsupported altogether. As the boss-man of a project who claims to be welcoming critique, you appear to be doing the complete opposite.
Perhaps you take every single comment from players to heart and try your very best to incorporate them into the server, but if that is the case then no one knows about it (other than perhaps your fellow staff members). Instead, you are acting as though every single critique is invalid in some way. You "correct" people who make suggestions on why their ideas cannot or should not be done, and you "inform" people who make complaints about why those complaints are not valid. Yet this is supposed to be welcoming critique? You are simply telling people how they are wrong without explicitly saying "you are wrong."
And just to make this clear: I have not made a single claim about your actual content or the way you've been developing--only the fashion in which you've addressed people on the forums.
So far, you have nothing positive to say in response to critique. And no, the "yes, I see what you mean, but..." type of post doesn't count when the "but" part is the focus (just to be fair though, this is still a step in the right direction). If you honestly cannot see the difference between a positive, welcoming response to critique and a negative, condescending one, then perhaps you should stop replying to it altogether.
My points are blatantly designed to assist you in coming across more positively to people, but you see them as something completely invalid, and you are informing me of exactly why they are invalid without any concrete evidence (just your feelings an opinions). This is exactly the point I'm trying to make, yet you persist in simultaneously disregarding it and proving it.
Which is actually pretty awesome cuz I personally love this kind of irony. |
