I know people that are happy rarely talk and those that want change or unhappy are far more likely to make posts.
I have to disagree here, no.
That's, sadly, a common misunderstanding nowadays.
And, gotta say, this is a lazy excuse in my opinion. The Developers from Cloudmeadow brought up the same.. ^^
(well, of course they muted all the nay sayers, but you catch my drift here)
You see, we do have 2022. Today, it's how people behave, mostly.
Don't talk, don't look, just be that anonymous 'one of many' Dood'.
Every been to MMO's? Back in the day, in comparison to today's 'standards'?
Same ol' game. They literally can't bring it over them to say 'hi' at the start of a match/dungeon - or 'bye' at the end.
'Thanks' and ' you're welcome', haven't heard that in a long while. Sure, there are people that talk, but it's been something that has started to become extinct, really.
Been the head of a bigger guild for some years. After reaching out to players, even if they declined an invitation, for example, they always declined. Vocally. (Textchat, of course). Today? You'd be lucky if they write back - at all.
People that don't talk either don't care enough to, or simply don't want to.
If something's good, you talk.
If something's bad, you talk.
Not just good or bad, of course. Like
Good and
Bad.
Problem nowadays? - Nobody cares. So nobody talks.
Most people talking want to discuss, ask, theorize.
And this, at least in my opinion, is worth far more than some mutes with no opinions.
Because they want to be a part of it. At least those that try'na do it the civilized way.
