Why do you keep saying that? Can you see our finances? If so, will you do my taxes, plzkthnx? :D Just to add some facts to this discussion: Our staff consists of Titan, myself, and Charfade. Charfade is part time. Titan is the ONLY programmer. Korin is not an ED programmer. He plays quite a bit, but he's not an ED programmer. We're usually working right up until the release date when we do an update, which is why we don't like to announce a specific time, only to get more complaints when we miss the deadline. While it's true we used to be more active in the Alpha/Early Beta days, that's because we only had about 50 active posters on the forums, maybe less. Now, there are a lot more voices offering a lot more feedback. Titan and I usually answer specific questions on Twitter because it's instant and reaches all of our followers simultaneously, but the forum is a great "melting pot" for ideas and community discussion that we still dive into when brainstorming new releases. I've already listed the ideas that were taken directly from player discussion several times, so I won't go into that again. I hope this gave you some insight into our methods. Not that by posting here I have an abundance of free time or care more than any other Dev...that's just how I choose to spend my time. It seems to always be a surprise when staff drops by. Like someone stated in this thread, the staff do listen(watch in this case) . I've actually had to find that out the hard way. It'd be nice if you'd express your concerns more openly to the community and perhaps give us a taste of what your working on. I'm more concerned about balance at the moment and I've seen members posting about how they're going to solve balance. I find it very convenient on how you have twitter account so you may give us a imaginary preview of what's to come now and than but I'd find it respectfully better for you to post a bit more often within the ED section now and than. I cannot say the team has been "perfect" but at least your somewhat getting there. Members, within this section post many of there ideas within General Discussion and I believe it would help if they knew whether or not you'd support them. I just wanted to add my 2 cents
