WG don't like when their CC's say anything negative...

Singling out individuals isn't ever a great way of going about presenting an argument. And more just going on rambling. However it makes sense as far as I see it, that I guess a lot of the White Knights don't seem to understand.

Does she entirely deserve it, yes and no. No because of the above, personally attacking someone isn't a good way of presenting your view. But yes in the sense that she is the Community Manager, this is her job. And she doesn't exactly do that very well instead coming across as incredibly closed doors just like almost every other interaction with WGCB.
In fact it often comes across as if she's talking down to others, almost as if on purpose. Which isn't exactly what you want the biggest means of communication between Company and Community to be doing. And it appears as if that happens just the same between Company and Community Contributors.

Community Manager, Gameplay Expert, Ambassadors. WGCB have failed to reliably interact and maintain and a common ground with the Community for years. How they have handled this situation just continues to make that worse.



And when it comes to the actual Core Breach thing. The WoTC Staff appear incredibly understaffed and stretched thin, if I'm not mistaken they had to relocate and toss aside plenty of staff, even filing bankruptcy at one point. So for them to focus their efforts on this and put teams to design all of it as opposed to any of the plethora of options they have to actively start to bring the game back by fixing issues we've had for years, finally having the balls to simply interact with the Community they only view as money bags right now and not putting people to work on a mode that'll last like a week and then insist that it doesn't affect anything is blatant lying and insulting to even know they view people that low.

They can insist it doesn't take away from anything else but I mean EA can also say they put in microtransactions for a sense of pride and accomplishment. What a shocker that a company could lie eh? With a team as small as they are now that they have to actively contract moderators for their forums because they don't have the free time to reliably do so in the company itself, this absolutely took time and resources that could have been better spent actively bridging gaps that have remained gaps for far too long.


But hey I mean they made a Mech game years ago and it totally isn't the case that almost no one from back then is still with the company itself or was put to work on this. I'm sure Rai was astronomically useful in the designs for the Mechs with all her experience from community managing back then.
Or I guess she just already didn't have the free time to answer questions the community she's meant to 'manage' had without being put to work on a joke mode.
