Why can't we be more direct and harsh in asking them to stop with it when they fail to understand simple things like spamming the forums with complain threads wont do shit...none listens to their "concerns" this is not the place for it.. it is not a direct private VIP telephone line to Yoshi-P's desk ..they wont let this team even launch the game to see what they are capable of.
You know what, I'm striking that part from it. I don't care how much something annoys someone else. That should not be an excuse to deny the freedom of speech and I should not have even brought it up. It was selfish of me.

I have seen no one demanding this game be exactly like XI or keep it the exact same as 1.0, nor have I seen anyone require that this game be the exact structure as WoW. We all have completely legitimate reasons why we want particular features and structures to be added, kept, or removed from the game. And they do listen, they have been. Just look at color dye reform and the server merge. We spoke up and prevented the game from doing things we didn't want. Hell, the whole reason the game is being changed in the first place is because people spoke up. I don't understand why anyone would be against it. These forums are here so we can have a line to the dev team.

I'm tired of these labels we use to depersonalize viewpoints. "Oh they're just trolling, they're only white knights, It's just the vocal minority, they don't matter" It's petty and totally self serving. This sort of us vs them schlock just keeps us from having dialogue. We can do better. I've seen how reasonable we can act.
