I already know that, why else would I post a suggestion for a suggestion forum where they can take suggestions other than art suggestions? Wow I'm saying the word Suggestion more than I intend to. I believe what Scakk meant was that, since only Art Suggestions are accepted by the staff, making a forum for general suggestions would be useless, as the staff wouldn't use them. quote:
But only with things they no about. They have no way to even find out about gameplay problems that aren't classified as bugs, like the AFKers in Boss Zones problem. Many players have posted about such problems and posted them with very simple obvious ways that they could be fixed, just trying to be helpful, only to have their posts deleted. This insulates the Game Staff from feedback regarding a variety of issues they may not know about and be able to easily address, which is bad for the game and frustrates gamers. The post probably were deleted because they broke the rules, not because they made suggestions. Actually, I noticed quite a few of these posts are still around, and the staff has stated (and proved) numerous times they do check the forums (specially the Gameplay feedback thread, where this kind of problem should be reported). The deal is that, by our eyes, the problem is easy to solve, but by the staff eyes (the ones with access to the game data, and that know what can be done and what can't) the problem might be bigger than it looks. Sometimes even small changes to game need to rewrite a good part of the previous code, so I believe we, as players, shouldn't complain if X or Y aren't fixed because they might be a much bugger problem that they may apparent. quote:
Positive feedback seems welcomed yes, negative feedback not so much. Reading over the entire paragraph, the thing is not everything posted about something being wrong with the game is a rant, sometimes it's players just trying to call attention to a problem. Unless that problem is a glitch though, players have no means of doing this. There's a difference between "complain" and "constructive complain". If the post is well written and formulated, I don't think the staff would delete it, but if the post itself offers nothing to do about it, or was formulated in a very flamish way, it could be deleted. Another problem is that most of the times a single post about the problem is enough, so making more posts will not contribute to anything if the staff is aware since post 1. Of course, players don't have the power to read the staff's mind and know the problem is being taken care off, but there's no point in posting in every page of a thread about it or repeatedly posting about it.
