"Forums filled with Group Think", to my dismay and wonder, "where have all the original posts gone?"

I'm actually having a ton of fun with mods this weekend. Moving them around and accomplishing goals. It's good and it works and I am happy.

Well it's a good thing that'll only last a few days! Having fun is not WAI, we have learned.

I am F2P and I am not unhappy that I am not #1 in my shard. I am F2P and I complain in posts. I am F2P and I only voice my concerns because I love this game and would like to see it continue. The "Everybody shut up and accept it" mentality is not going to keep people around.

I do not feel I am owed anything but I do voice my opinion. The devs are free to make a product that they are happy with and feel serves their purpose. But what happens when people stop playing? Do you keep pushing your dream forward or do you stop and listen to your player base? If the game you want to make continues to make people upset then why would you continue down that path. One reason: MONEY.

The devs know that the old spenders will leave but new ones will replace them. But that can only hold true for so long. At some point you will anger too many people and your dream will die.

I am not asking Ea/CG to cater to my every whim. What I AM doing is voicing my opinion on my feelings of the game. I am happy with most of the content but the complete lack of regard for the player base makes me mad. They went silent for a week or more and then came back with some feel good update that basically said "We heard your voices and decided not to listen."

Who asked for Wedge and Biggs to be reworked for better synergy? I haven't seen thread after thread asking for that. How about a Teebo fix? Or at least explain why I can complete 11 nodes of GW with one team but for some reason the 12th node wipes out my entire roster? Is that supposed to be fun?

Until the devs step up and actually address some issues with meaningful answers a lot of people are going to be unhappy and that leads to complaining. Not because we feel we are owed something but because we have a passion for this game and Star Wars overall.

More examples of group thought. You've worked yourself into an hysteria over a game designed for entertainment, regurgitating same trite talking points. Nothing creative here, just move along.

How is that group thought? Your complete dismissal of any complaint is also a form of group thought from those that can or choose to afford to pay to win. Shut down all those dirty F2P player peasants, right?

You offer no reason why my post is group thought and just dismiss it with a wave of your hand. How does that help this game move forward?

Where did I display hysteria in my post? Was it because I mentioned GW? Are you spenders having so much fun with your game that us peasants aren't allowed to even ask for the same experience?

Why is asking for content to work as advertised "group thought"? Do you have a degree in psychology that you can't get paid to use and feel the need to expound your ideas here?

Just because multiple people come to the same conclusion does not make it groupthink.
Groupthink is a term defining when people make excuses and forgive faults in order to belong to a group (political, religious, cultist, fraternity, gamer, etc).
In fact OP is actually a form of groupthink ...

It's about making excuses as many have done by trying to attack complainers. That is what groupthink is, it's not about complaining at all. Read the wiki link defining what it is.

Groupthink is a psychological phenomenon that occurs within a group of people in which the desire for harmony or conformity in the group results in an irrational or dysfunctional decision-making outcome. Group members try to minimize conflict and reach a consensus decision without critical evaluation of alternative viewpoints by actively suppressing dissenting viewpoints, and by isolating themselves from outside influences.

Guess the OP needs to rethink their chosen terms. :)

How many complaint threads, complaining about upset players do we need?

I can see you didn't read my posts. I never complained, and you are clearly mistaken.

So, the group think continues!

Well I did read your post and it sounded like many other complaint threads I've read that complain about the complainers. Generally end the same way "Stop complaining and go away."

I am pretty sure what "the group" thinks about the OP xD

/groupthink over

That, and posts being deleted. So the forum community does not encourage original thoughts, and rarely ever has.

Associating deleted posts to the idea the forum doesn't encourage original thoughts is a prime example of the group thought on the forums. Posts are deleted for TOS reasons, not because there's a conspiracy to stifle creative thinking. Come on man!

Lol, I've had posts deleted that were no where close to TOS, and I've posted some very borderline stuff previously. One was simply, "lol, I see what you did there". So, your idea that moderation is applied strictly according to rule, is somewhat false. While it may be most of the time, you can't account for those actions that occur outside of what you expect. Unless you are a current mod, or have experienced it directly, your counter-argument has no grounds. That would be like saying police officers NEVER act outside of the law, and we all know how ignorant of an idea that is, as they are human and are subject to devious behavior like everyone else.

Funny, because you are finding yourself falling into the "group thought" of the devs/mods being infallible. Such hypocrisy...
