Advice!

I didn't REALLLY want to post this cause I don't want to give anyone in my guild that might see this the wrong impression but I would like to get some peoples thoughts. 

Firstly, I want to say that I have been in my alliance for over a year and have built some very strong relationships there. I have a tendency to wear my emotions on my sleeve, and sometimes I look into things way to much. 

I know CG has been doing lots of things lately that not all the player base is liking. The changes in fleet metas have been shaken up more then they ever have been with the addition of P1. The continuous changes they seem to be making with little to no notice to the player base what so ever. (Exe. Turning three GLAT reqs into an AB) 

Over the last say 4 months. Both my GL and and TB officer have stepped down. I think both have been burnt out for a while. But also in that time, I have noticed a tremendous amount of negativity within our discord. Legit it seems like every second post I read either starts or ends with "fk CG." I absolutely love my guild and my alliance, and I think our performance benchmarks at our GP range is hard to beat. But as a person who is INCREDIBLY active on discord, I am honestly struggling more and more to be part of these conversations. I certainly don't agree with the way CG is communication new content. I think when a player needs to plan out months of even a half a year worth of farming, and they just throw random things out there it makes things quite difficult for the mid range player to keep on top of any form of new content. 

My question to you guys is. Am I just being overly sensitive? Or are my expectations of a happy, non toxic discord a little out of touch? Or maybe another way of putting it, is it normal in other discords also to have people being this upset and smashing CG in every discussion they can? I've had thoughts of leaving my guild and If I do it will mean leaving my alliance all together. I don't think its a unfair expectation to want to be involved with a group that is happy, and enjoying the game for what it is, without smashing the devs in every post. 

Thoughts?

  • I've been playing for over 8 years.  I've been in several guilds, now I'm in a guild consortium of several guilds. I've been an officer in a couple of the guilds.  I've had my ups and downs, wanted to quit many times.  I agree, I think CG made a few mistakes in the last several months. I personally think there are too many meta anti-GL squads.  These new additions to fleet has really sent me for a loop.  I was #1 in my fleet shard everyday for payout with my Profundity.  Now I'm lucky to stay in the top 10.  I really relied on that crystal income as I am a mostly f2p player.  There were times I would spend up to $100 in a month, but usually I can't at all.  After everything else they've taken away over the last few years, I don't know how much more I can take.
