Openly admitting to ignoring the players

[Shurrikhan]

I've read most of the posts in here.

Most of the ideas are awful, don't do what they aim to do, or are in the realm of "Just make it fun at all skill levels in all content." which might as well be saying nothing, for all the help that is. There are a few topics that merit discussion but they rarely get as much attention as the whine threads.

A lot of that just comes down to the basic problems of New Posts and completed ideas. Just by nature of how we tend to access these threads, those that don't have regular space to add ideas to at low effort tend to dry up quickly.

As much as I enjoy the occasional good, concrete, and relatively complete idea, though, those aren't really going to be the primary point or purview of a player forum, I would think?

I'd be happy if we could just at least contextualize and somewhat test our suggested criteria for basic applicability or relative merit.

Coming up with the exact method by which to meet those criteria? That's for designers. (And occasionally the sufficiently obsessive and bored, when those designers have too often failed us and/or the method is just that obvious.)
