Say Chat (Text Bubble)

They've denied this suggestion twice. Both times for the same reason. I think it's pretty clear they aren't doing because even they don't see this as an important feature deserving of development time. Nothing more. Nothing less. This is regardless of anyone's opinion from this forum. On this point I think they've made the right call. This isn't an important feature at all.

And it doesn't strike you as odd that they have to keep shooting down this idea? If they keep having to shoot it down, that means that their customer base keeps asking for it.. which means that at the very least, their consumers think it's a worthwhile thing for the company to look into doing and most companies would at least try to explore the option or tell them why they can't deliver the feature; It's basic customer relations to try and explain -why- the customer can't have what they're asking for, rather than just saying they can't have it and should deal with it.

I'm not looking forward to SQE's numbers after things like Wildstar, ESO and Warriors of Draenor are released. I don't want the game to fail, there's parts of it i like, but i'm not going to give the game a free pass on things i dislike (especially as a monthly subscriber); But i think SQE's pride will get the better of them again.

Lol. This game isn't going to pass or fail based on popup boxes for text. Hyperbole to the extreme.

Also, compared to other threads with demanded features this one comes in on the low side. Stubborn players that want one feature, but continue to bring it up despite being shot down, does not constitute a large portion of their player base. A 100 page thread about server lag vs a 15 page thread about pop-up boxes is a very different thing. Especially when over half of this thread is people who don't want it.

Don't think i ever said that, i even put in a caveat that it's not going to fail because of chat bubbles but rather SQE continually ignoring or shooting down customer requests.

You're right, they are different things. The server lag is a game breaking problem that SQE needs to find a solution for if they want -any- subscribers.
The chat bubble request is a simple showing that half of the game's player base doesn't understand how a development team actually works (as they think that the ones that work on dungeon content and art would be the same people on the chat program); It also shows a continuing trend that SQE does not care what their customer base is asking for; which while won't result in the loss of subscribers on it's own, it is another notch on the board from customers that notice a trend of problems.

frostmagemari,

The idea is silly. Now, you respond with, "NO U!" then we repeat the cycle.

Also, this demand you speak of that wants to have them...where is this large customer base you speak of? Where is the demand for it.

Original post has 25 likes that roughly represents 0.000025% of the games population.

Does this help:

Your right, i should stop trying to ask for it and stop trying to reason with people. The players of the game will be the players of the game, and that's it.

Though, i don't accept your estimation. The number of people who view the forums is far less than those that don't, and the number of people on the forums who use the 'like' function is far less than that, and then the number of people who think that SQE would ever do something because of customer appeal is far less than that.

You should. You've said your part, you've had a discussion with other community members, and even had a rep respond to reiterate they aren't going to be adding a feature after a previously stated comment that they aren't going to implement it. What more do you want to add or are you going to continue to stand on the soap box of video game injustice? You aren't fighting some oppression here, you asked for a feature request, they said no. What is so hard to understand here?

The sarcasm went right over, didn't it?

But you're right, i'm not fighting oppression. I -am- however a paying customer for this game, and with that i have the ability to post my thoughts on this forum. At the end of the day, they can say they don't want it and they don't have to implement it; But i'll be damned if i'm not going to exercise my right as a consumer and attempt to give the company i am giving money to on a monthly basis my opinion on what i think would benefit the game.

You, in turn, have the right to support or denounce my request; But you're not going to silence it.
