"We'll Look Into It..." What's It Mean to YOU?

[Azurus]

Heheh good site ^^

And yes I'd agree that part of the problem is also some of the questions asked. I know they wanted to put players questions to the developers, but some of the ones they picked... I mean seriously? "I don't like the way the fishing rod wiggles" and "Now you increased stack sizes we don't have to make ore into nuggets to make room in inventory- is this what you intended?" Well duh *rolls eyes*, so I guess as they can't say "Don't be so f***ing stupid" or "WTF", then "We'll look into it" is the safest response lol.

Now if we could pick questions put forward through a poll, which may take longer but with the guarantee that quality questions are asked and in return quality answers are guaranteed, then that would be different.
I like the Q & A idea but the implementation is not the best in my opinion.

Yeah i agree with this 100%. I'm certain that 90% of these questions have to be from the japanese forums. Im on these forums a hell of a lot, and though trolls run rampant raping the villagers, we as a whole ask the real questions. The questions in these Q&As are stupid and useless and give no information for the most part, and what this says to me is that the devs dont want to take the questions that back them in to a corner about what actually matters in this game and they would rather answer the more..."tame"? questions about fishing rods wiggling and taking extra steps after you stop running. I know on the NA forums we could give two shites about that so until i know where these questions are coming i'm blaming every one of the other boards and they will sit in the corner until they ask better questions... Its either this or SE is picking these questions cause they fit best with the "well look in to it" template.

I take "We are looking into it" and "We'll look into it" to be synonymous with each other. My interpretation of these phrases are:

• "we are actively working on an aspect of the game that this question asked about. We liked the idea and we will look into whether or not we can implement the idea without breaking anything else."

"We'll take it into consideration." -- To me this means:

• "this is not something we are actively working on, something that we hadn't considered before now, and/or are unable to make any changes to that at present. When we get to that updating (revisiting) that portion of the game, we will look back at your questions and see if we can implement that idea without breaking anything else."

"There are no plans for this at the moment."

• "Bwhaa ha ha ha ha ha... NO!"

are you sure we will is the same as we are? we're waiting on the patch. we'll play it when it gets here. one means current and the other is future.
