I think it depends on whether it is good advice or not and whether they gave it in a constructive way or a rude way. Sometimes people get defensive when someone gives them suggestions even if they are given in a constructive way. Usually people are just trying to help unless they say it in a rude way. You may or may not agree with them, that's ok. I'd step back and even if they said it in a rude way try and think about it from a new perspective and see if there is anything you can use or learn from what they said. Sometimes I think it's easy to see your town everyday and not think about ways it could be different or not see a really great idea because you see that area everyday. I wish you luck!
of course again, people's taste are different and if you just disagree, no big deal. It doesn't matter if someone else doesn't like your town, it's your town.
I probably wouldn't consider their opinion at all if it wasn't constructive criticism or if I didn't ask for a review in the first place. If they don't like it, that's fine by me, they don't live there. I do. ^^
I added someone once who came to my town, before he even knew me he was already digging into my town. I was new and didn't even have any money, much less pwps and the qr machine. I told him to stop, he didn't, and I booted his butt out of my town. This is a game at the end of the day and I personally view it as such. Some people take things way too seriously.
If it's not actual critique, then I wouldn't give a dang about it. If I like how my town looks, that's all that matters. They're not the ones who have to play in it every day.
I'd be hurt if it was put rudely, but I'd still listen. The only time I wouldn't is if I don't agree or it's something I can't change like these freaking rocks everywhere...
I've done reviews. And none have been negative. I will offer suggestions for improvements. But I haven't offered a review that was thoroughly negative because, realistically, I've come across unimpressive towns in Dream Addresses where they were unimpressive because they were underdeveloped. I would not do a review that assessed the villagers as attributed to The Bell Tree Forums' popularity ranks. I've paid complements to a pleasing mix. (If that means much of anything. But certainly one having however many of the most popular doesn't speak to the overall quality of a town. It's not reliant on such thing.) The reviews, by me, tend to be focused on the town. The designs. The navigation. The overall appeal. And most Dream Addresses I've come across, from Bell Tree Forums members, are impressive. (For example: with the paths and/or the bushes. The details.)
If it's only one person then who cares? I'm not gonna take to heart one person's opinion. If it was a group of people though, I'd probably take their advice :3 unless that one person had a point and I agreed with them.
I've been fortunate to have people tell me I have a nice town or a great town. I've seen far better, though. Mine isn't exactly complete. Of course if someone suggested something, I'd probably take it into consideration.
Since my town is still a work-in-progress, I wouldn`t care. I`d probably say "Yeah, thank you. It is still a work-in-progress, therefore it is still being made beautiful." or "I suppose your town is doing well, then."
I used to get a little upset when people said my town lack of this, lack of that, this wasn't nice enough and so do that too, but now I don't care, I am the only one spending all the times in my town and not like people gonna come and visit me everyday so whatever people opinion doesn't matter anymore =D
I don't care right now, because even I call it a dump. But if my town is complete, and they say it's crap, I don't even see why they came in the first place?
