Say Chat (Text Bubble)

[frostmagemari]

I feel for some of the folks who are passionate about it, but really folks, dev's have spoken that they aren't adding it. Just move on, it isn't preventing any of you from playing the game. If a feature such as speech bubbles not being in the game is ruining the game that much for you, perhaps this isn't the game for you? Arguing back and forth with just the player base doesn't really get you any closer on seeing it implemented.

Your right, it's doubtful that we'll ever get to see chat bubbles in the game, but it does show a clear disconnect with the player base. For the CM's to come out and basically tell us "We already told you no, stop asking", means that there is obviously a lot of people want this.

The fact that they are unwilling to add something so small (and yes, inputting a chat bubble system would be 'easy' compared to other things that can be done to the game, it just requires the willingness to have it done) to the game shows that no matter how much they yammer on about how important our feedback is to them, our feed back is -only- important when we want something they already intended to give us anyway. (Our feedback hasn't mattered at all any other time, even when everyone was up in arms about the housing, SQE's reply was basically "This is the plan, deal with it.")

Not saying that this is a make it or break it issue, but with some of the big up and comers that are going to be released this year like Elder Scrolls, Wildstar and WoW: Warriors of Draenor, SQE has to make a decision on how important it thinks the feelings and opinions of it's player base is, which will become an issue; Especially when games like Wildstar are being launched on the premise of "The Devs are listening" and have already made changes based on CB feedback.
