Positive feedback, bring back the creativity from when the forums started

They should make their presence more know so that people still know that issues are being read and passed along.

Acknowledgments would be nice, I agree. It'd be nice to know when to give up on an idea or keep bumping it and trying to generate discussion lol.

I lost faith that the devs weren't listening to my suggestions and feeback only to find out recently that many of them have been spoken about in interviews or dev letters.

I have continued to make suggestions but I do feel the Community reps especially have gone very quiet as of late especially in the gameplay sub forum.

i agree. Somehow tho' i feel that they cannot openly say that they like or will think about using our suggestions. But from recent annoucements and posts i see that they indeed do listen and are using or at least inspiring themselves from these suggestions.

So i say continue to do so. Yes you may not get any recognition or any feedback, but down the road you may have helped a little to make this a better game. It is not enough to tell them that something is bad or needs fixing but by giving feedback and positive suggestions, they have a better idea of where to go from there, instead of going into a direction that is not better then the original.

That's the thing. I don't think they are legally allowed to do so. In a sense they would have to compensate you for using your ideas so rather they take our collective feedback/ideas and do something based on that.

I think we can provide feedback for fine-tuning the existing plans, but from what we've seen here in the last months, it does not look like they are paying too much attention to brand new ideas, except the ones that they already had in mind.

A while back i started a thread about having water based content/swimming, under water ruins etc... a rep responded with saying that Yoshi-p was considering it for future expansions. So they do enjoy new ideas but don't expect them to be there any time soon. Feeback on tweaking current plans will be taken into consideration, taken that the majority agrees and new ideas are still being considered but they will be only for future plans.
