You figure people who get paid a living wage to professionally decide how games will work are going to sit around on these forums and try to figure out what the tiny minority of Dust testers who use these forums want, and then go and do that? I really hate to burst your bubble, but we're not here to give balance testing ideas. The best we can ever do is provide enough volume about a certain issue that CCP reviews it themselves and comes to their own conclusion. You're kidding yourself if you think they're going to make changes to this multi-million dollar enterprise based on nothing but the ramblings of a few of us. |

Look at the weekly posted to do list the devs post, it includes all of our ideas. Look at the tank nerf, movement nerf, dropship nerf.. Etc. We the players did that, we whine enough about it that it got fixed. So yes we the players have a HUGE voice in this beta.
There's nothing that they will ever do with this game that is based entirely on the words of forum posts. Player comments may make them take a second look at a system in the game, but if they don't think there's anything to it, they aren't going to go and change their game based on the proclivities of forum nerds. It's no doubt one of the major reasons they release updates as infrequently as they do. We aren't here to design their game for them, we're here to stress-test servers and through sheer volume point out egregious flaws.
Plus, with how the development process is going, with new builds months apart, the opinions we have on this game become irrelevant pretty shortly after we get our hands on a new build. It's pretty much impossible to have an opinion of any value to CCP when they're playing a different game than we are. |
