Feast needs a greater variety of rewards to encourage participation

We don't get new gear every patch

Never did I say this.

Also, CMs are devs. Not every dev writes code.

As to the rest, I don't particularly have anything more to say. I get that you're not happy with how things have been handled, but that was never my point.

The problem is how those development resources are spent. Terribly, would be my summary.

And now we circle back to the original point.

Threads like this aren't pointless. You can suggest that the resources be spent differently. You can definitely disagree with how they've been used. But there's no reason to shoot down suggestions because "there aren't enough resources to do anything" when clearly there are - provided you can convince SE to change how they are allocated.

CMs are not Developers, you forget, not only have I met one of our's (EU), but he's active in PvPaissa and SE's offices (where he's based) are a stones throw from me in London lol - why don't you ask him what his role entails (or rather his old role since he's been promoted) - he'll be more than happy to talk to you because he's like that. That is why their title is Community Manager and not Developer/Game Developer; because the clue is literally in their name. I never said every Dev writes code either, Developer falls under a number of positions, CM ain't one of them. You said "every odd patch" - every odd means alternate - but we don't have them at that frequency either, so you're still wrong and the reason you don't have anything more to say is because every other point you made was pretty much wrong too; stop arguing for the sake of arguing and accept it.

CMs are not Developers

CMs are involved with the development of the game, specifically by facilitating communication between players and designers. Therefor, they are developers.

Alright, so Heavensward only had 2 gearsets, that's fair. The rest is true enough, but you don't seem to be willing to accept that and go on irrelevant tangents, which is why I don't have much more to say.

But I would suggest calming down a little?

Janitors are involved with the development of the game, specifically by facilitating communication between players and designers, by making sure there's a place clean enough to work. Therefor, they are developers.

The Bus drivers that takes yoshi-p to work is involved with the development of the game, specifically by facilitating communication between players and designers, by allowing him to get to work. Therefor, they are developers.
