This game is on a terrible state right now.

Strongly believe they listen to feedback (listen does not mean always copy/execute, naturally), my post count is a bit absurd but there are so many parallels to something I've wished for and seen at this point I can't believe anything else. Not light stuff either... That said I am also fairly patient and definitely notice there is some time between, which makes sense.

I've also seen other people's feedback represented. Naturally there is some variation from what is desired and delivered, which is good to some elements as they're the ones with the actual skillset to make the game and it is their game on top of that, but due to those changes may occasionally miss the original key of the desire. I feel people saying what they want to see with why can be helpful, usually I just see either one or none lol. On top of that it's not uncommon to see people desire something and then explain what / why and it doesn't really jive... so there is that too.

There is of course the potential they're getting the feedback for something someone wants and just patently disagree, whether that is for right or wrong choice it's something I've seen or at least felt- funnily enough due to the pipe line them listening to feedback but not giving feedback to players can be confused for "working on it but these things take time". "WHY U IGNORING ME" SE: "I'M NOT, UR BREAD IS BAKING, STAPH".

Anyways... I feel they care / listen, just maybe not at the timescale / speed someone is wanting or the idea hasn't convinced them is worth it yet. Still give feedback, and at this point almost exclusively make up my posts, because I feel strongly as such. Though it could certainly be enhanced if we had more back and forth communication, something Theo touched upon. There are somethings I've seen that are suspiciously and auspiciously similar to something I saw someone, or myself, wish for... a year or seven ago and it's like.. *snaps fingers* I recognize that lol.

There are some things that I feel that people have been clamoring for years that have yet to be delivered but for the most part they do listen to feedback. Whether it be engine issues, or lack of talent in coding (they seriously need to hire better talent for this as I feel a lot of issues are completely possible) or they're busy with their own work schedules in other parts of this game etc. We just dont know what's going on behind closed doors to fairly make judgements but its certainly the easiest thing to do, as people like R041 or AwesomeJr or me have been doing.

Its all very tiring, and it'll continue to be tiring for both sides case. We need better communication on the NA side or heck since somebody pointed out how the JPN playerbase actually feels like they listen to the NA side more this just means they've been very lax with player communication. The only form we ever see is with LLs and thats not good enough.

It doesn't help that the JP fans can actually be WORSE than the fans in the west. The dev team have gotten actual death threats and harassment from players in Japan. They may have reached a point to where they feel it's safer for them to not say a damned thing.
