Am I the only one who finds this character, this stage and the boss familiar? Perhaps they focus more on this now than the actual game... Again no wonder
BDO feels more like an open-world Continent of the Ninth 2, than Vindictus. Which makes me wonder... If a remake of an older game, which got released in the same year as Vindictus, made it so successful, then why does Nexon not focus on making Vindictus 2? This could revitalise the game, but Nexon doesn't care.

First of all, I need to make it clear that my post does not “target” you in particular. It refers to everyone who somehow defends the game. Thus, there are some additional statements which may sound like assumptions on what you mean, as you said, but they are not.
You believe we care about the game, but immediately after, you go ahead and say that whatever we do is destructive. That’s a little bit contradictory, isn’t it? It’s partially true and probably only applies to those who simply say “The game is dead” without further supporting their theory. Spaming this statement only, is indeed annoying, as it is saying the game has no issues (which is what this thread, probably, claims, not you). However, from my point of view, a generally considered, “bad” criticism alongside with some facts which prove it, is actually constructive. We bring up the game’s faults because we want them to change, we somehow try to fight the “root of evil”. You claim that a bad criticism seems to lessen the game’s lifespan and this may be true up to a certain extent, but why shouldn’t it, also, be an incentive for Vindictus to improve? The chances of the game being prolonged would have been higher, If the devs wanted to listen to our “bad” criticism, admitted their mistakes and actually DID something to prevent it’s death. Much higher than asking people to join the game as it is right now and indirectly hoping they spend money to keep it alive only for a small period of time. Unfortunately, we failed to do this 2-3 years ago when the game was better, what makes you think we can do it now? (again this point is not referring to you in particular) Note: I should probably end it here, since I also keep repeating myself. Hopefully you understand what I’m trying to communicate. We don’t try to force our “bad” criticism upon you (only force it upon DOL) and make you fear, it’s not destructive and there is a need for it to exist.
Nevertheless, I acknowledge the fact that all these “bad” criticisms, which may have been brought here unintentionally even If the OP created this thread with good intentions, create a NEGATIVE atmosphere. Players who like the game and are “sensitive” to negativity, mainly have two options. You either respect their opinion, ignore them and go back and enjoy your in-game time or you do what I’ve suggested. You said “If they're told just the bad they'll only know the bad and think that it's bad” My answer: You, the OP and everyone else who wants to defend the game should probably mention, in detail, what you like about the game. Gather some positive feedback, that can even overshadow all this negativity. Is it a bad idea? If “trash” people like me can make an entire article consisting of negativity (in “false” hope of the game’s revival) then it shouldn’t be too hard to do the opposite, an entire article of true in-game examples consisting of positivity! Just like how Cherished shared his/her real in-game experience with us in page 4. You can’t expect us to do this, because for us everything is black. This is your duty to fulfill so that not only your thread will get more credibility but you can also prove us wrong.
Overall, I hope I managed to approach your ideology. Perhaps it’s my fault If I can’t make myself clear. I’m not a native english speaker, though I believe an oral speech would help better get what we think across and correct any misconceptions. I’m not trying to offend you or anyone else. From what I have deducted, you do want to respect everyone’s opinion whether they are good or bad, white or black. I’m somewhat trying to do the same. Up to this point, I think we are starting to beat around the bush, so I won’t comment any further. All the “white knights” just take my suggestion of a positive feedback and build upon it, If you can.
