Declined disagree / dislike button for forum

[Crip 4,735]

but don't you also want to know why people like your post?

I don't see how that's relevant.

 

If someone "likes" your post, it means they agree with it, so if they really feel like complimenting you further, of course they can comment. The difference with "disliking" something is that the "disliker" may simply be inclined to leave a dislike and then simply disappear, which is kind of frustrating (as constructive criticism is useful) rather than pointing out why they didn't agree with you.

MAF - comments on this. How do the devs know what is liked in this common scenario?

They don't need to. They know the advantages of every update they release, so if everyone is quietly liking their news topic, then all went according to plan and the advantages are working. But if people are leaving complaints in form of posts, devs will know what they missed and where they went wrong.

 

P.S. Next time quote my post when you want me to reply, since that way I'll get a notification and will be more likely to see your message.

Case closed :ph34r:

Maf - the quote function has never worked on my account from day 1.

 

I would love to be able to add quotes into posts but I cant. I have to cut & paste and even that doesn't work 75% of the time.

[realbigred 101]

Sorry assassin but you don't have the authority to close a post. Nice try, maybe you should apply to TO as they must need more staff to help them with censoring the forum ;)

Declined

 

Looks like you weren't here two years ago, so for your information, we actually used to have an upvote/downvote system on posts, but that was later replaced with a single "Like This" button. The reason for this change was that downvotes were often used by players to troll others and mass-dislike their posts from multiple accounts, while in case of news topics players simply followed others and downvoted the topic without explaining why they dislike the update.

 

Therefore the downvote button was removed to improve feedback. Nowadays if you dislike or disagree with something - post in the topic and provide constructive criticism, explaining why you dislike it so that the topic starter (or developers) will know how to improve.

Without explanation we used to down vote that's true. And that's why devs removed it.

 

But now we explain every bit of why this update is so noob. Nothing happens. Update gets implemented. And some of us are so tired of even explaining/giving constructive feedbacks(because we know nothing happens). That we just scroll the post and close the browser without writing or doing anything. So I guess it is time for dislike button to return. Atleast we will save ourselves some time and express ourselves with that down vote.

 

Anyway there cannot be mass down vote because the member base has already went down.

Care to give an example? Some updates have to be released even if developers know for a fact that players won't like them. For example, the update that removed ability to do missions in PRO battles was necessary because players were getting easy rewards from PRO battles, which had negative effect on the economy.

there were lot of solutions to that issue like in private battles mission won't be completed etc but they wanted to increase the drug usage. They wanted us to spend crystals or real money to get those supplies. They wanted us to play with those buyers who have 10k of each supplies. Simply to entertain them by making us bait. We discussed this before as well. And even you cannot deny the facts.

 

Like in the recent news we heard that neither xp will be counted nor crystals in private Battles. They could have done this before instead of making missions only being done in non pro battles. Give us that dislike button please.

You make it sound as if those buyers are unbeatable. I hate to break it to you, but they're not. I have been stocking up my supplies and i currently have hundreds of each except gold which i have none and repairs which i have just over 100. I utilize in such advanced techniques that I could take down a wide variety of players single handedly.

 

No I'm not bragging, I'm just saying that buyers can be beaten by free players if the free player is clever enough to do so.

yes but how long will your 100 repair kits are going to last?

thats the point? specially when you are up against with those who have around 10k of each?(they are not unbeatable. i never said that)

[Aunty_Entity 245]

Doesn't change the fact that it reduces the quality of feedback developers get from update topics, since players used to just leave a dislike instead of explaining what exactly they don't agree with. A dislike gives devs no useful info regarding how to improve.

 

I guess at the end of the day, its just a matter of what you're answering, you can still like a negative answer... so there's no real need.

Yep, not gonna deny that. But it's what they have to do as a F2P MMO game. You still get plenty of free bonuses which you can use to accumulate supplies, so free players are not completely forced to buy with this update. Anyway, this is not the right topic to discuss that.

I always have a way around things.
