Promote Players to use the Lodestone Forums!

[Synapse]

Hello Everyone!

It seems the Reps/Dev are seriously taking feedback from the players on these forums, which can be seen from the recent replies from the Reps/Devs, however these forums only have about 10%(maybe less) of the player base and about 1/4(guess from ranks) of them don't even play the game or play very little of it.

Clearly these 10% of the users are having an effect on the direction of the game(i understand Devs make the final decision), which i think its bad because 90% of the others who play the game, some of them don't even know a forum exist and that Devs are actually taking feedback from these forums. There are time where i have discussed certain topics and i get totally different/opposite answers from the actual players i play with than the majority of the forum users.

So i believe forum users should tell their Linkshell members to check the forums and post their feedback on the current development, that way the game will go in a better direction with all the information from the collective minds of the player base.

Thank You and Spread the Info!

Thats great!, i always assumed players are just lazy to visit forums(maybe dont have time) but recently i found out that a lot of players don't even know a forum exist and their in the dark about all these info on this forums.

Forum should give players some incentives to check the forums, that may apply in game :P!

I agree, also SE really needs to update their launcher to have links to the forum and links to main page updates. That will probably get more people to sign up for the forums.

Everyone I know who used to check the forums slowly stopped because of all the moaning and trolling. But I still enjoy reading, so eh.
I think more dev talk could draw in people though. Or a faster update schedule.

I know I've stopped because that as well, also I'm tired of people making topics about stuff that we already talked about months ago, so I end up reading the same stuff over and over. lol

Nice idea, also i think if they add patch downloads here(patcher is horrible anyway (/-_-)), it would also bring in more players!
