I spend a lot of time in the feedback section, roaming around, debating various issues with people.
There is a depressing lack of blue posts there. In the first 3 pages, there is only one topic with a blue post and that's one which doesn't really talk about anything of note.
In particular, I've spent a lot of time on one topic - Discussing armour and shields. This is far from the only reasonable topic in the feedback section, but it's probably the most in depth.
https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=87752&find=unread
At the time of writing, this post has 7,000 views, 28 pages of reasoned discussion, and over a thousand likes throughout the topic. There has not been a dev post.
There are seven thousand words in the OP - seven thousand words which have been frequently updated as issues are discussed, as people make counterpoints, point out errors, and test things.
How long does it take to simply acknowledge a thread's existence, or provide some cursory details on what's being done about it? It doesn't need to be an agreement that there's an issue - Something as simple as "We are happy with the current balance of x item; here's why:"
There are a number of people in the community who have spent hours working on that thread with me, testing things in game, discussing about them. What more could you possibly ask?
Perhaps I'm pushing my own agendas here - of course, I'm an armour tanker. But I tried hard to write a decent, unbiased discussion, and nothing has happened.
I've heard the odd rumour that there's no dev post because CCP don't want to interfere with the discussion. If this was true, the result of this is that everyone contributing to that thread is tired, feels impotent, and really can't be bothered anymore because frankly, why should they bother?
I can understand why the forums have devolved into mindless QQ, because the constructive posters have simply gotten tired and left.
I'm taking a break for two weeks now. I wonder if there'll be a dev post when I return.
Probably not. |

Criticize the Caldari race and their obvious OP stats in the game and CCP will come rushing to the rescue and insuring you of insincerity.
They don't give a **** about armor, and I've been playing this game for a year now. You seems down on the idea of this game getting better. Now, you know, instead of making CCP look like the iconsiderate, biased company, you made yourself look biased, like an ass. Armor is **** right now, but it will be balanced. Look at the CalLogi, it seemed like it would just be running the game for the rest of its lifespan, but it got balanced. I see armor balancing coming in the next 1 or 2 patches.
Indeed, it's probably coming soon, and not (tm).
I was in a bit of a dark mood when I wrote this post, and now I've had confirmation that devs have paid attention several times, so I'm quite happy. |

Please wire me 10,000,000 ISK along with your request for information and I'll handle it. 1 ISK and it's a deal. That's fine, but in order to get access to the email address I'll need temporary access to your PSN account in order to do so. I know it sounds weird, you'll just have to trust me.   I would advise against this. Account sharing is bad. Also, we're reading. Always reading and watching. And sometimes we don't want to poke our heads into a topic because we might either derail or divert the topic. Mind you, keep watching the forums. Maybe you'll see something you like. 
I posted this thread in a somewhat depressed mood.
I'm better now.
At the time, there was nothing, but now I know that you actually have been reading things properly. |
