Delete this Section of the Forums

edited January 2023 in Suggestions, Feedback, and Requests
So for years we've known that Nexon is apprehensive when it comes to taking feedback from players. Certain changes have been asked by a large percentage of players for months or even years, such as various QoL improvements for Familiars, changes to the revamped Masteria's sanity system + Shadowknight Coin enhancements, and balancing for non-KMS classes (Jett, Hayato, Kanna, and Beast Tamer). Non-KMS players have known that the only feedback Nexon cares about is from the players over in Korea, while everyone else is pretty much shafted with their feedback being metaphorically thrown into a garbage bin.

From my experience, Nexon America takes bug reports more seriously than suggestions, which is why I've posted a lot more bugs than suggestions. Nexon does not accept feedback for legal reasons, so it raised the question of why Nexon has a feedback section of the forums at all. Personally I'm convinced that the only reason Nexon has a feedback section here on the forums is as a façade so they can claim to listen to player concerns. However, it's common knowledge at this point that Nexon has little to no interest in feedback from overseas players. Therefore, I propose that Nexon delete this section of the forums entirely to stop providing a false illusion of caring about the players. Doing so would stop crushing the hopes of players for a better game, as Nexon clearly has no interest in providing anything that isn't forced upon us by the bigwigs in Korea (or technically Tokyo since their headquarters are located there). This has been proven time and time again by the various unpopular gameplay changes and content removals we've had over the last 5+ years, which is when they've started listening less and less to players.

I fully understand two things for whoever is reading this (aka not Nexon). The first thing is that it is obviously not feasible for Nexon to acquiesce to the requests or demands of every single player. However, certain requests and suggestions are made by a large percentage of players because of balancing issues, gameplay issues, or to mitigate toxicity within the game. The second thing is that the irony is not lost on me that I'm posting this thread here, which itself serves as feedback. While I acknowledge that nobody at a high enough position at Nexon will notice this thread or even take action upon it, I'm sure that I'm echoing the sentiments of a large majority of players.

No regrets.

    I honestly wouldn't miss this section of the forums too much if Nexon did end up deleting it. Its obvious that the suggestions voiced by GMS players are hardly on the radar for the real decision makers

    On the other hand, while i know that most suggestions will go nowhere, at least its interesting for me as a player to see what other players' ideas are. But then again, future suggestions ideas could just go to "general" since they don't really feel like suggestions at this point, seeing as nothing comes of them.

    100% this should not exist since they have 0 plans of ever listening/implementing anything unless it already comes from daddy KMS.
