No. I never said a filter should or shouldn't exist. I attempted to justify why they removed their RB1 feature.

But you are saying the the devs cater to the player base with zero reading comprehension.

I mean if a filter says it will hide songs, and then it hides songs, a person should expect that to happen and not go "ZOMG, WHERE'D MY SONGS GO?!? I'M CALLING HARMONIX THIS WILL NOT STAND!".

If the above player is the one they are going to target as their primary consumer and tweak the game to suit, then I think we are all in trouble.

I'm saying they cater to the portion of the audience that doesn't do the research and only plays the game, which is nearly everyone.

So I'm saying they cater to the majority.

So, in your own words, the majority of players would choose to filter uncommon DLC when playing online (as stipulated by me as the filter proposed) and would then promptly turn to customer support questioning why their songs disappeared from their libraries while playing with people online.

That IS what you are saying the majority of players would do, unless I am misreading you now.

You're completely misreading. I said Harmonix designs features to cater to the majority. Like removing the unshared skipping. Again, I have never gone one way or the other on a filter.

But you have insinuated yourself into the discussion of a proposition for a filter for hiding uncommon DLC while playing online and siting as an example of why not to do this as, and I am paraphrasing here "because customers would come to the forums in droves and complain that their songs disappeared". I could directly quote you and it should be pretty close to that sentiment.

Then you go on to say that this would be "the majority" of the game's players.

I don't think you are correct in either case, if this is your assertion and I don't think you've said anything to make me think otherwise. If that were so you would have kept your fingers still and not taken this role in the conversation at all.

EDIT:

In other news this is a real place and GNF works here.

I'm constantly surprised to find that I've unintentionally set 1-lighter-reviews on songs (particularly when drumming). My guess is that those who got confused by disappearing songs did similar, even if they intentionally ticked that filter.

That would be perfectly understandable (although I would hope you could suss that out on your own eventually without calling support ), but no such error could potentially occur for the proposed filtration concept of "hide uncommon DLC when choosing setlists with other players online".

I mean it's not like you might accidentally not share DLC with another person, can you?

And if someone dictates a scenario where you -could- forget you don't share DLC or other such nonsense, then I suggest that you might just be arguing for the sake of arguing and refer you back to the link I posted just above.

Agreed. I was merely attempting to help partially restore your faith in the community you say you've overestimated. For the case of hiding one-lightered songs, I think it's an easier mistake to make than it appears at first glance.
