Maybe a little, yesđ
But not without reason I believe
Well it might seem that way. After all conversation and discussing problems IS a good thing.
Still, Iâve seen several dozens of threads like this one come and go, and the only thing that ever came out of them was that they turned into comprehensive rants about every minor little thing that single people felt offended by and endless repetition of older issues.
Some of those minor issues - most people hadnât even noticed before - get totally blown out of proportion or people start quarreling among each other. Others have been discussed multiple times (like the GPU error message, or the intrusive lost connection message) And the only solution that would be suggested is âFix it, Asobo!â
The end of the matter always is: nothing will change this way, because Asobo and MS donât care about these threads.
They have spelt out a method for reporting bugs via Zendesk or via creating and voting up an issue in a seperate topic in the appropriate category. Those are the ways they will start tackeling problems.
So this thread maybe an outlet but itâs not a constructive outlet, because itâs unlikely to lead to anything.
Lastly I donât think actively asking people to search for stuff thatâs wrong with the sim is a good thing. Thatâs like standing in front of the local mall and asking people: âwhat is wrong with your life in 2023?â.
Generally social media - like this forum - are inherently focussed on the negative anyway. This forum is already a loudspeaker to highlight every minute little detail not to someoneâs liking. If you check the threads here the vast majority of them deal with problems. While only a few deal with positive things and even those are often being highjacked.
So while this forum can be (and already has been) a great asset for making Asobo and MS aware of things to fix, if done properly, I see no reason to actively ASK people to bring more negativity into the world if itâs not even serving a purpose for the future of MSFS.
And YES, this rant of mine is also partially self-serving because I am a little sick of negativity in general, and because I think the timing with the New Year is so absolutely awful.
But at least I have suggested a viable solution to my problemâŠ
