- Saracens/Arab armour suggestion: not a single word of anyone responsible we have no one responsible for that. it's something that has been planned for a long time, but was never put into practice. just like many other things, our resources are limited
- Latest Strategus drama: not a single word to the accusations and the plans on handling them both cmp and me stated that we look into it before we can do any proper response. in what way is that "not a single word"?
- Banner purge: people get there slot deleted w/o really knowing why: not every player is just too stupid to read, maybe there is something not optimal in the way those warnings are displayed it's a new system and we still need time to figure out how to deal with it. it's a beta, after all
in my opinion, all of your points are invalid.
In mine they are not.
1.: You already implemented suggested stuff before. Who finally implemented it? Who decided those items are acceptable? And even if this person doesn't want to/can't do that again, there is still the possibility of a developer saying that there is a topic in the developer forum or something like that about the suggestion, and that it's being discussed. Someone made the effort to make a topic, other people made the effort to post on this, some people really put their hopes into it, so I think it's the least to honour this with an answer... by any developer.
2.: You did not state it. cmp just said that Pan
os had a valid point but ruined it (which rather sounds like "your point became invalid"), and you stated that "it's a difficult matter" and you are thinking about a system to prevent it in future. Which could also be understood like "I don't want to judge this time". Then cmp wrote that ironic post in italics, where he only says "because we didn't say anything people assume we are not going to do anything about it", which a) still doesn't really tell people that you will punish the particular players, and b) the people are totally right to assume this! What should they assume else? Believe that everything will be right... probably, eventually... ?
3.: If you don't have a system yet, it's perhaps recommendable to be a little bit more lenient to the people. Deleting a banner and telling them afterwards that it didn't meet the requirements is not a nice style, I would say. And perhaps not all people who lost their slots deserved it.
What happened to
this idea? What is with Leiknir?
You seriously need some kind of community manager (I suggest ToD
) whose task is to check the forum for interesting, valid threads, ask the proper developers for a quick answer, and post it in the proper thread, so that people don't feel ignored by the developers 99% of the time.
And you need a new system for the suggestion area. Perhaps I will post an idea for this. But not in the suggestion area.
