What I noticed in the character creation video.

People don't realise that by saying "it's alpha" they're actually just agreeing with people who say "it can be improved".

It's so futile these debates when everyone's just agreeing with eachother and don't realise it.

No one has ever in the history of video games has used "alpha" in agreement. "Alpha" is used to shut down discussion and criticism on the presumption that things will substantially change over the course of development. There is no guarantee things will change. There is no guarantee SE is even listening to us. But we can be sure they aren't psychic, so saying nothing at all benefits nobody.

We have literally nothing to lose by saying this or that should be improved/implemented, regardless of development stage.

I know. And the people saying "it's alpha" are basically just reiterating your point that it needs improvement. Secretly. They don't realise it, but secretly it's what theyre technically saying.
