I would like to suggest to consider adding a new sub topic "Suggestion Box" for every relevant game feature and requests for the game.
I read the forum since a long time ago and the "General Discussion" section is becoming day by day a place where players see the opportunity to improve the game through suggestions and requests
But isn't the actual topics enough?
I don't think so. While some topics get low post rate, and suggestions can be made without being lost, some more populated topics make many good suggestions get lost amidst so many random posts or feedback posts, and it would be a great choice to consider a proper place for the suggestions. A place where we feel that we are being heard by the Staff.
I would like to expand the way the forum organize the suggestions section, because organization is a very important thing for the devs to listen to the community.
I would like it to be similar to the Bugs reporting section, with the following sections as an example:
For every Topic
- Suggestion Box: Single sub-section (not a sticky thread) for every topic (Job/HUD/Lore/etc) Where the suggestions and requests are posted and opened to more feedback from the community. A CM or proper staff will move the thread to one of the below sections accordingly if needed.
And a Official Section. It's needed, because I don't want to see the suggestion Box full of suggestions for years, it needs to be cleaned with Accepted, or not.
Game Suggestions:
- Implemented: Suggestions that officialy made it and will be implemented in the future.
- Insufficient Information: When there's not a complete suggestion.
- Unable to Accept: Where a CM or proper staff value the suggestion as Impossible to implement under any cirscustance.
- Already in-game: When someone suggest something already in the game.
- Duplicate Suggestion: When someone already suggested it. The staff will answer it with a link to the duplicate suggestion before moving it to the section.
- Not a Suggestion: Spam/dicusion/feedback/etc
