I don’t need to address my hypocrisy, because there is none.
Discord is free, so there is no need for the game to include a more comprehensive chat feature. If people want to engage in more structured chat about the game / their guild, they can get that without paying any additional money. The same goes for wookiepedia.
HotUtils is not free. At the moment, players can only benefit from the things that resource provides by paying additional money. I’m surprised you think “Just use HotUtils” is a valid contribution to the discussion. Kinda like telling a starving man to “just buy food”.
Yes I’m gameplay minded. It’s a game. It’s not a chat app or an encyclopaedia. The devs should spend their time working on things that enhance the gameplay, not making the app something that it isn’t.
I’d also love to see your data to backup your claim that the minority of players care about mods.
Anyway, the mod loadout thing is veering off topic - it was just my example of a QOL improvement the player base actually needs. I don’t think your suggestion is needed, and I’ve seen no evidence that it’s wanted by anyone other than you.
Again you fail to understand anything I write. You draw the line where you are comfortable with no regard for others. It's all fine and dandy for people to download Discord or go to Wookiepedia, because they are external tools that make up for a lack of in-game feature. But you draw the line at HotUtils because it's a paid service. So it's okay for other external tools and sites to be used as substitutes, just not that one? Your analogy is also funny because a small mod feature isn't comparable to food you need to survive. It's convenience. Here I'll fix it, it's more like telling a man who doesn't want to walk to work to "Take the bus". The bus is convenient but not a necessity to make it to work. And it comes at a price.
And again you miss the point. You know what doesn't affect actual gameplay? The PC client, it was convenience, and the playerbase adores it. It's nice and fresh like a new coat of paint. And of course the game isn't a chat app...you just need to download one in order to do the chatting right? A lot of guilds require it after all.
Again you failed to understand my message. People care about mods. I said that there was a minority of players who care about mod 'loadouts' and moving these mods around before a raid or TW.
And once again you fail to bring any actual criticism. "I don't like your suggestion so you shouldn't do it", "Only you want this", and "Why would we do this instead of doing something else?" Is not valuable criticism. It only hinders innovation. We could entertain the idea. Discuss the pros and **bleep** of it being implemented. It's not like we're posting a Wookiepedia article to every character either. Just a small biography that explains their character and importance in the lore.
As of now, I'm only concerned about the memory-intensive critique you had earlier. Stick with that one, it's better.
