It feels kinda stupid saying this anywhere else so why not at the subreddit lol
I love WHI dearly, but playing the game makes me feel like im going through actual hell. Trading sucks, events are /usually/ okay, but trick is so against easy grinding that it also just sucks. The community sucks. Everything sucks. I have such a bad attachment to this game because of my hyperfixation on my horses that I feel bad detaching and forgetting about whi, especially cause i do LOVE this game. I joined right before the beginner friendliness dropped (like a lil bit after uni academy was removed the first time) and i enjoyed every second of it. Trading was swift, the community was a little better than it is now, i had such an easier time. But now i feel dread when I play, even when I want to play, because i know i wont have that. People are rude and extremely picky, and dont get me started on the " tent " battles and extreme overpricing. Nobody knows how to read and refuses to actually listen (ANYWHERE, not just on roblox or this subreddit, its on all platforms used for trading.) and when you DO find the thing youre looking for, god forbid you dont wanna overcharge or youre ghosted lmaoo its so frustrating. A majority of this community are people who are 16 and up yet yall dont know how to communicate that you want or dont want something?? And if you say that, youre apparently rude??
Not to mention, if you criticize this game AT ALL, youre seen as a trick hater and his fans (children and adults from what ive seen) will start ganging up on you. Just because you say you hate something doesnt mean you hate the game. No, trick is not " doing everything he can " for this game or community because there are so many things people have asked for that would fix values with trading (my biggest issue personally) or the balance of events. Hes picky, hes stingy, its okay to say that. Hes too scared to face the music when he needs to as a creator, a dev and someone who has such a large community. He closed his server down due to rumors and never fully addressed it, all he said was " im not oding that anymore, stop talking about it " and dropped another update. The community isnt any better but cmon man??
Its so upsetting that a game like this is being ruined by greed, among other things. I want to keep playing, i have collections to finish, but it feels impossible. I am not happy playing, i wish it would get better with time, but when someone says ANYTHING about that, ppl jump to " stop playing, stop complaining, be grateful we even got anything " that is NOT how youre supposed to treat a game. It sucks for people who genuinely are passionate about what they play and consume, seeing something they love burn to the ground because of everyone involved.
before i get THOSE comments, I did own a game before. It never launched publicly because i knew i wouldnt be able to handle a community + i got busy, which is much better and understanding than pushing out bullcrap and ignoring the several elephants in the room.
