Jagex doesn't care about player opinion

[edwardelric87]

No matter how much crap we talk behind their backs, no matter how much we rave and rant and complain, they don't have to care. You will keep playing, and money will still be flowing into their pockets.

[VEGHATERMEATLOVER]

I agree completly.

 

they make me almost sick the way they remove all the good features of the game and then expect you to carry on liking the game. they've hooked us in with a big fish and then took the fish out of our mouths and replaced it with a dead worm.

[Zierro]

If they don't care about player opinion, why do they have polls?

[Dirkmetal]

I love how your arguments are all based on opinions.

 

Yes, Jamtax mean, grrr! :roll:

[TheStandIn]

Yes, they are out to get us and will continue to force us to play their lousy game that they are putting so much time and money into destroying- just to spite us. Crafty.

 

Who's dumber: the morons making this game awful? Or, the morons who keeps playing it even though they hate it?

They care enough to keep us playing, but not enough to keep most people happy.

They changed extreme pots. And that was in like, a day.

Do what I did. Make your opinion known with your money. I didn't like the updates, so I stopped paying for them. Granted me alone won't make a difference, but if everyone who complained about not liking where they are taking the game did that and actually have the testicular fortitude to give up members, then we might see some changes.

Or you could be like us, 100% F2P, so you won't have to experience the awful updates at all. :thumbup:

[quelmotz]

You know why Jagex doesn't care about most players' opinions? Because those opinions are idiotic, shallow and ridiculous.

 

At least 30-40% of threads are about the anti-RWT updates and how they ruined RuneScape. Jagex has already stated clearly that RuneScape will NEVER be returning to the old state before the anti-RWT updates.

 

Maybe another 20% of threads are completely idiotic and clearly a waste of Jagex's time. This includes trivial issues, pointless crap and such.

 

There are probably a bunch of threads that have such horrible English or the topic-creator doesn't know how to express themselves properly that Jagex doesn't want to listen/is unable to listen.

But, unfortunately, the posters are Jagex's customers and they have a duty as a corporation to listen to them. If they don't, they should just get the heck out of industry. Anyways, they chose the age group they currently cater to. No one forced them to.

In my top 100 dumbest rant of all-time, this one is near the top.

 

There's no supporting facts, the text has minimal correlation to the title, the arguments are so thin, you'd think this was written by some uneducated teenager...oh wait...

 

There's ample proofs that Jagex do listen to ALL the players. What some kids can't understand is that they can't please ALL the players ALL the time. Welcome to the world where you don't ALWAYS get what you want.

 

Grow up, learn and come back when you purchase a proper brain.

[Youmu]

TC, just because you hate an update does not mean everybody does. Learn this fact.

 

This is another one of those pointless rants, that for some reason gets the most posts out of all of them.

[Bauke]

This isn't a rant, it's a pointless flame.

[Youmu]

This isn't a rant, it's a pointless flame.

This sums up just about every thread in the rants forum in RSOF. :rolleyes:

The customers might be Jagex's top priority, but if they suggest idiotic updates that will ruin the rest of the majority of the players' time, why the hell should Jagex listen to them? Don't say "many players want the wilderness back" or whatever. Jagex also has to keep the game running, not shut down due to banks banning their customers from using credit cards to buy RS membership.

It's not that they don't care, it's just that because some players cry fowl doesn't mean they have to change everything back to the way it was. It's not like when your parent's buy your sister something and not you so you throw a tantrum and they give you what you want. They have plans to roll in motion which can take years to set up and organize and they aren't going to throw that effort away, ultimately they know what's best.

You speak the truth.

 

People who complain about updates are just like spoiled kids who complain not getting something. Seriously guys, Jagex has their reasons. Quelmotz is right - Jagex cannot purely rely on player opinion. They have to also think about what is best for the game. PKers are the prime example of these spoiled players, and even now they are still trying (looking at you xmisspker).

Wise words.

 

You can get the illusion Jagex doesn't care about your opinion when:

 

1. They have already listened, but they're taking a while to put the plan into action. I mean, they're THOUSANDS of ideas Jagex has to put into the game. You can't expect them to do everything at light speed, can you?

 

2. They think your ideas/opinions are not viable. A prime example of this is PKers screaming for the wilderness to be put back into place. It'll just bring back Real-world trading and cause Jagex to lose money ultimately. Do you want a not-so-good RuneScape or no RuneScape at all?

 

3. They didn't read your ideas at all. To err is to be human. I'm sure Jagex moderators will miss one or two threads now and then when scanning for good ideas, and you can't blame them. Do you think you can read every thread clearly without accidentally missing one or ignoring one because the title sounds like something stupid? I don't think so.

 

4. Maybe they have a better idea themselves or got a better one from another player? Who knows?

I agree with all those points. THe problem is that we all sit here and think we know how to solve an issue, but we only look at what is good for us, not for the game on a larger scale. Besides Jagex are only human, at least i hope so!

[edwardelric87]

Extreme pots.

[michel555555]

And the reason why exreme pots were taken out of pvp was because they weren't listening to players? Hate the loud minority that are the pure pkers.

 

edit- One of the reasons why it seems like they don't listen to the majority is that the majority hardly ever go onto the forums. And it is mostly when an update that a person likes gets removed that people go to them. Because of that jagex doesn't get as many topics that praise updates.

[Kawts]

You don't like it? Yet you still play?

See, why would they even bother about caring if the player count just keeps rising, but of course they take it into a count, they would be silly not to. Most of the time they make these choices for 'the good of the game', for them its a lose-lose situation. No matter what they do/change/alter, there will always be a group of people who complain about it.

[KingDodongo]

You see, if you were annoyed enough you would quit. But you don't few do. We keep coming back for more. JaGeX knows this. Change keeps this game alive. Personally, I can't see any updates that have ruined the way I play.

[sammyboy894]

Face it the OP is just one of those people who like complaining about things when nothing is wrong.
