Letter to the Developers

[Alhanelem]

Whenever patch notes are added the most striking thing I notice is the majority of modifications come off the back of topics posted on these forums. Unfortunately the greater majority of people who use these forums are those looking for somewhere to whine, troll, flame and insult people, rather than spending their time actually playing the game.

You should give the community you're posting in a little bit more credit. Yes, there is some trolling and whining, but there's plenty of intelligent posts out there too. You shouldn't be concerned that they're just going to listen to the stupid people because stupid people exist. You should have a little more faith that the community team is smart enough (because they are) to forward the logical, cohesive, well-written feedback and not the OMGZORZ FIX DIS BROKEN CRAP feedback.'

Also, to put the above person's words more plainly, it is a bit hypocritical to recognize that good changes have come from them listening to the community but then tell them to stop listening to the community. It really doesn't make a lot of sense.

This, and seen from the other side, trust that the devs have tools and knowledge to sort this mess out and obtain the overall direction and strength of the reactions to ideas proposed here.

There's also the Like! button that gives voice to people who prefer not writing a post.

Also, many things pointed out in the forums are obvious and are worked on already, so we should not be too fast at pointing out at the devs for going on with something that was suggested in the forums.

I can appreciate your how your trying to agree with the OP. But after this

And the thread it referes to, its kind of a hippocritical post you made.

I can see you aren't following along closely. The original post was satire!

It honestly doesn't look like satire to me.
