I'm not doubting that you get a ton of replies during situations like this but you kinda highlighted the point I was making. By replying to other comments to explain your point again you avoid (whether intentionally or not) having meaningful conversation with the community. I was mainly bringing up the point that Embrace said they were willing to talk through this civilly yet our civil conversation was not talked through and was dropped on their end.

I was speaking with you civilly on the last post about this (seen here) but like most of the other mod comments you made one or two replies and then stopped. I think that is one of the most disappointing parts of all of this is that the mod team will respond to a base comment and then nothing more. You get the appearance of the team interacting heavily with the community but it is all surface level and no substantial conversations were had. I understand you guys don't want drama but this isn't drama for the sake of drama it is a majority of active users showing that they disagree with the decisions the mod team made. Had you made a decision along the lines of keeping sleek and removing triple then I highly doubt you would have seen much talk of this beyond the initial post.

You don't get to enable abusive people, and then duck out with a "I don't want to get involved" when people start asking questions about your complacency. Action, and inaction, both have consequences.

Again, I can tell you're all young. I truly encourage you to learn from this, and hear out what I said. You don't want to be one of these kind of men your entire life, trust me.

All of you have these same no-content, f**king nothing responses lmfao.

All of you refuse to acknowledge the shitty things you've done and enabled, and instead, you all are trying to paint yourselves as some kinda of subreddit martyrs, doing the right thing, even if it's unpopular??

You're sorry that people have to SEE this? How about you be f**king sorry about how you've enabled the toxic behavior of your co-moderators, and continue to enable them by keeping them on board after sexual coercion, and manipulative behavior to women in the community.

And the thing is, I really think all of you legitimately believe the bullshit you're peddling. There's not a doubt in my mind you're all a bunch of inexperienced, young dudes, 18-22, who truly don't give a shit about the opinions outside of your little circle. Most people don't get a free lesson in this on something as meaningless as a videogame subreddit, you'd do well to learn what you can from this experience, ...

Kinda feel like the people moderating the subreddit shouldn't be having drama like this at all. How can people expect them to do their job properly when they're involved in some clown shit like this.

Obviously running a subreddit is not some kind of prestigious amazing high-qualification job but this kinda stuff shouldn't be going on within the team.

It's only bad design if it doesn't work. It's only lazy if they didn't consider alternatives, and I assure you after watching years of healing metas coming and going: they've tried every "elegant" solution imaginable. If the scalpel fails there's no shame in trying the hammer. There's nothing inherently wrong with the direct approach.

You also have to consider "intended player experience," and "perceived intended experience." If the game wants a player to interact with the game in a certain way, but the player thinks they're supposed to be doing something else entirely: they're going to have a bad time*. A global debuff on healing just better communicates the intended experience. The goal of the change is "out of combat healing is worse," and it reads "out of combat healing is worse. The inverted change you proposed has the same goal of "out of combat healing is worse" but it reads "in combat healing is better," which could cause players to misunderstand the nature of their...

Thank you! Your artists are so talented and I cant wait to see how she ( whoever that was ) turns out! I am a fan of fashion/character design and did this purely for fun- having so little to go off of made for a great challenge! :)
