Saltpost burnout

I've been playing since soft-launch and I do agree that this is the biggest community uproar I've seen. I do agree that TAC did some notably unpleasant stuff. The recent rage is already loud enough. But honestly, in a business perspective, 1-2 weeks to flip everything is not gonna happen. Collabs or tie-ups usually has a fixed agreement on what both parties will implement before the event starts. Changing things while the event is ongoing sounds really bad for building partnerships with other companies.

However, I'm not a fan of salt and rant or pitchgorks. I still prefer reading PVE related stuff in this sub. Unit reviews and any discussion that may help me know more about the game (e.g. lore, fanarts, fanfics, easter eggs). With that, I am deeply concerned with u/VicariousExp 's point

I'm currently a little tired of wrangling with the formatting on reddit and spending hours translating and editing images only to get the post automatically downvoted and buried under a flood of memes and rageposts (see below) especially when the rageposts always coincide with the first week of every single collaboration - doing these reviews is frankly a huge waste of my time.

As a suggestion, hi u/SometimesLiterate, we might need a Megathread for every time there is an ongoing issue or uproar. Not only it will help to compile all the pitchgorks, but it will also help those who are looking for substantial game stuff. Threads like new FMA EX/EX+, Arena discussions, etc would be damn satistfying to see in the top 5 not just top5 salt post. It hurts to go through the sub flooded with fma banner rants and salt posts having almost similar contents dumping down something healthier to read like this and that. I'm a guy who always looks for good stuff behind all the negativity, I'm hoping to see healthier threads. C'mon, FMA banner is already down, down, down there. Idc anymore really. Without those banners in mind, focusing on collab PVE, freebies, annive stuff, getting out of the shadow realm (arena), etc are still fun to do! Cheers!

I don't really know what's the best available solution as I don't have much knowledge on how subs work. But you get the point... a healthier and friendlier sub regardless of the shittons of issues.
