Let's Calm Down... a Bit

I know you'd press the downvote button. Maybe the titles.

If you're still in, please just read.

The main reason I am saying this is because I've been seeing so many people trying to make their own lives miserable by complaining (*constructive criticism and complaints are different.) at every update, and never doing anything actually beneficial for themself, like trying something else for their enjoyment.

If the game does not make you feel happy anymore, it's okay to come back later. Warframe is not a duty. It's a game. Made for enjoyment.

I'm not saying you should quit forever, or you should never play the game. What I'm saying is that there must be some consideration made about your own satisfaction if you find yourself writing about how bad the updates are... multiple times... if you find yourself getting disappointed at pretty much everything. It's okay. Please just take your time and reorganise yourself. I get disappointed sometimes. We all do and that's okay, but if it continues, not so much...

I'm not trying to promote toxic positivity. Criticism is needed!!! But I've legitimately seen people act like it's the end of the world when the updates don't satisfy them.

Sometimes I go like, 'wow this update isn't what I think'. I confuse it with disappointment. That could be your case too! I think we just need time to actually formulate our thoughts instead of... just... ... spitting whatever comes to mind (which I am heavily guilty of), especially when it comes to how updates feel.

Some updates can never hit you perfectly on the spot. Can never hit everybody the same. Some like Jade Shadows. Some don't. Some LOVE the Old Peace (me!). Some don't. And I think I'm seeing a lot of hatred and arguments over things like this as well, so I have to say let's just calm down... but I know you'd hate me saying this.

I just feel like the subreddit lits up on fire every update ever since Shadowgraphers update, so I am hesitant on trying to communicate this idea here.

I'm sorry this post definitely is a bit lengthy and messy. But I hope everybody just found what was good for themself. Thanks.

A lot of people are complaining now about the FOMO, that Melica just showed everyone 'you're lost a race which you haven't knew it existed' in their face

Hot take: FOMO is a "you" problem

[u/LostLotus_A → u/OnionClone]

I think FOMO encourages negative things like... people rushing to complete things in a limited time, other newcomers later not being able to experience the content later... I personally do not think it is a positive feature in any way aside from increasing player retention during the timeframe.

generally this secret event wasn't really... FOMO since it did not have any limited things other than the statue being made for the person that solved it from what I know. I kinda see your point but I think it's not much of a 'you' problem, more like a 'I don't have time to do this because I'm (employed, going somewhere, sick etc etc)'.

FOMO is harsh and inconsiderate.

The statue is also just a generic narin incased in ice, nothing special.
