"THe Development Team Does Not Currently Have Plans Too..."

[Karbuncle]

The problem is that the way they respond, it makes it seem like our feedback means nothing (which honestly may be the case).

When we ask for changes or suggest changes, the only responses we ever get are usually:

"We are planning to do this!"

or

"There are no plans to do this."

Basically, our feedback means nothing. If whatever was asked/suggested was already in their plans, then yeah sure, they'll do it. But, if it wasn't, then it's not in their plans, and probably won't be because of server strain (or whatever reason, if we are even given a reason, which most of the time seems like a really bogus reason). The wording itself is flawed as well; it doesn't matter if there isn't plans to do it at the time you responded, the point of the suggestion/request/feedback is to ask them to make plans to do it, because that's the whole point of community feedback.

Pretty sure the JP side of things is heard more than us as well. The NA community team simply translates the posts made by the JP CM/devs to us and posts it in a relevant thread on the NA side. It makes me wonder about the BLU learning chance change, whether it was the JP side that brought it about or us.

Lately it's just been getting worse. Simple requests or logical requests are denied (well, not even denied, just "no plans") for the most absurd reasons (if we are even given a reason).

Personally, I'm just getting tired of the whole run around.

I've been saying this forever now... our suggestions are generally not considered... but, I don't blame them. If a gave dev listened to every suggestion, no matter how logical it may seem to us players, the game would be an unplayable mess because everyone is demanding something or another... thousands of "buff my job nerf others" threads, request for niche things like BLU Spell sets similar to equipment sets, and an undisclosed "DD" buff for BST cause BST is t3h sucks... I mean just look at all the suggestions on this forum, some you might think "This is logical" and others "Where'd they get their supply of crystal meth before writing that post?"... but if you ask another person to look at them, their reactions might be reversed.

At the end of the day, my biggest complaint about community feedback has been "if they dont have it in the works, its never happening" and "The only time our suggestions get implemented is out of pure coincidence that they were already working on it"... same as what you said. But again, like I said above... I hate that it has to be this way, but if it was any other way, the floodgates would open and every half brain who thinks giving BST Dual Wield VII and Berserk II as natural abilities or give SMN pets no BP Timer and double their HP or so on would come in and demand their job gets buffed because they listened to that other guys request.

I don't want to sound like im justifying all this, but I at least understand it.
