Public Discussion: Community Feedback - Is it being heard?

[HyperiusUltima]

Just putting the question out here because we've gone through so many changes over the years, I'm not sure if we're being heard anymore. If you're going to say "Oh, but it must only apply to your group", then perhaps we should take this in a more serious context.

Has the Community Team been following our discussions and our requests on the Forums? Because it feels like they ignore half the things we ask for and implement stuff that's fluff or just a band-aid to a bigger problem, and I've seen the pattern over the years both with jobs and with content. I'm curious what the community's opinion is since these forums are supposed to be looked at every business day by the CMs for things that might be important or helpful in the development process, or if there's an issue that needs listening to.

I've heard a similar urban legend from the JP side that they only listen to western feedback. So if both sides have the same urban legend, it kinda goes to show that they don't listen to anyone.

People might think so because moderators are more active in the Japanese Forums, while they are practically non-existent here. Even the German forum had a moderator reassuring people that suggestions get forwarded in some posts. Still, it always struck me that complains went through better over there… I mean they changed the design of Sage‘s job icon because it seemed to trigger some Japanese players.

Which begs the question - if JP thinks the state of the game is because they listen to NA/EU and not JP, and NA/EU thinks the state of the game is because they listen to JP and not NA/EU... who are these changes for?

EU players get all the fun.

We've reached the point in the games lifespan where the developers "know better" than the players it seems
