The lack of a simple yes or no response leads me to feel that the director or someone else at a high level is insistent on keeping the Kaiten removal regardless of how much requested forum feedback is left yet is nervous about breaking the news to those players, but absolute silence is worse than saying anything; even a dismissive no would be more polite than not acknowledging the issue months after specifically asking for feedback. It just rubs me the wrong way.

Let’s please not help enable the “You think you want it, but you don’t.” mentality that World of Warcraft developers have infamously expressed, which already seems to be followed regarding the lack of notable additions to healer DPS variety; there’s an example of a developer versus player disconnect that’s rarely acknowledged in live letters or interviews.
