Some people are just video game addicts that will accept any unethical behavior as long as it exists inside a video game industry.anitajoneb17_ESO wrote: »OMG DID HE JUST DESCRIBE THE PROCESS OF INTERNAL TESTING?!?!?!?
Dude come down from your high horse, that is how testing, internal testing, QA and so on goes. And that is how it should be.

That's naive. Explained why in this post.notimetocare wrote: »Unlike most players, streamers have financial incentive not to muck up the game
Has anyone considered they take feedback from all sources? The forums isn't exaclty a peachy place to sit and brainstorm ideas over some starbucks. The last 21 pages of this thread proved this.
On that note, I think OP had the banhammer dropped on him so let's allow this thread to die. I am exhausted after reading it, as entertaining as it was.

Is questioning the integrity of input sources for game balance a ban-able offence now?
Fair point. It's a pretty horrible thread. And the forum is filled with tons of other horrible threads by unsatisfied customers that are upset by either cheating they are tired of being told doesn't exist or bought housing that doesn't function or offer value in spite of reams of feedback warning of this in the PTS threads. Oh, and the Morrowind DLC expansion.Has anyone considered they take feedback from all sources? The forums isn't exaclty a peachy place to sit and brainstorm ideas over some starbucks.

Thanks, not banned yet afaik, but lets just say the post you read wasn't the original version. It may be unclassified, but it remains heavily redactedI really hope not but with all the stuff we say on these forums, I highly doubt it. The guy seemed to be quite heated over the entire ordeal and may have sent private messages that weren't so nice or carried his vendetta to a seperate thread. Or he may not be banned? His icon has bars on it?

He posted 20 minutes ago, so obviously he's not banned, and why would he ? Expressing concerns is not bannable.

Some people seem to think anyone that disagrees with them should be banned. I have no idea why this latest generation is so allergic to people with opinions different than their own.

We recently noticed that there have been some naming and shaming, insulting comments and even mentions of real-world politics. For continuation of this discussion, please be sure to keep the Forum Rules in mind, and refrain from labeling anyone as exploiters or claiming that any one persons opinion is less than your own. I'm sure we're all here to help make the game a better place for all, no need to put another person down for wanting to help do so.
Thank you for understanding.

Oooh the "It's ok because capitalism" argument. I love that one! My turn!
In 1984, the company Bayer realized that a lot of their blood products, (Factor VIII and IX anti-hemophiliac compounds), were contaminated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). However, the financial investment in the product was considered too high to destroy the inventory. So Bayer misrepresented the results of its own research and sold the contaminated Blood Products to overseas markets in Asia and Latin America without the precaution of heat treating the product recommended for eliminating the risk. As a consequence, hemophiliacs who infused the HIV-contaminated products tested positive for HIV and developed AIDS.
It's just a business people, relax!
A video game and blood used to save someone's life that gives them a life threatening illness are not on the same level. At. All.
Lmao i cant believe someone even said this lol ZOS definitley does not listen to streamers they definitely listen to casual players players WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY before they even listen to elite gamers. Zis cares about elite players like .00000000000000000001 percent like we barely matter at all
@Rickter
Despite the contempt I have for zerg players, they have a place in the game. But theirs isn't the only place. This isn't a 'zerg game' nor is it solely for large scale PvP. It's an open world sandbox and every play style should have a place. You're honestly looking too far into things and making some sweeping generalizations, just like the tin foil hat author of this thread. Fulfillment is a subjective thing, but I promise you most small scalers promote that play style not for 'street cred' but because it is intense, fun, and challenging. Whereas as running around spamming aoes while being carried by numbers is not.
What exactly are you afraid of? That they are gonna make zerging harder? lmao. Rest assured, no mechanical advantage will ever be more powerful than the sheer force of numbers.
next time i'd like to know how and what i should comment on on the forums, i'll come ask you guys.
the fact that you three seem to think you can tell me what to post and where to post is a little disturbing. its like, entitlement. . .

I was joking.
British humour doesn't work when one can't hear your tone of voice.

no one was saying that ALL playstyles should not be accommodated. thats not the issue. the issue is that the small scale proponents are insisting that theirs is the best way, and unfortunately they do have the ear of the developers. have you heard of hte Council of PVPers? thats actually a thing. its real. Devs play every day. they are in normal communities (well they go for the ones they heard of) and they are influenced by the players they surround themselves with. @ZOS_RichLambert runs with some really elite PVE guilds, and I fear their influence is negative for him. why? because the 1% does not represent the 99%.

I didn't even bold the corporate name, or capitalize it in the middle. I'm so ashamed of myself.
Most popular streamers tend to play all classes, they tend to have a lot of play time in the game. They play the game at a very high level and know what they are talking about.
So why shouldn't zos bring in high end players for testing? Is that such a bad thing.
Also i capitalised ZeniMax in the middle because that is how it is.
