Lycus -> RE: Devs lying to us now? (3/12/2013 19:18:47)

Hey guys, as was stated earlier, I am going to have to lock this up. This is not because I am a super mean AK who does not like even a sniff of criticism, but because I can already see arguments starting up which will possibly develop and also quite a few posts that are not completely on topic nor contributing too much.
I would however just like to touch on a few things here. Firstly, yes AKs lock up and delete a lot of topics and I can see why people can find it annoying or confusing. The one way to solve this though is to simply make sure you have read and know the forum rules, both Universal and Section rules. Things such as Cheating and Hacking discussion or mentioning of is explicitly called out in there as something not to be brought up here and if needed, taken directly to a Moderator or The Lawman. Anything that mentions it in the title will certainly be deleted, because Titles tend to indicate what the post is about, if your title is about or mentions Hacking/Cheating, then... It will be deleted. Once again, the rules clearly state this.
Criticism wise, this is a hard one and has been brought up many times and is certainly an opinion based subject. However AKs will never delete or lock any topics that are clearly constructive criticism, constructive meaning that it takes all views in to opinion, states it in a polite manner and clearly says the issue (and hopefully how it could be solved). If the message is rude or contains flaming, it is not constructive, neither is it if it is clearly there to start an argument with another user. As Charfade says, many of us, Devs, Mods and Testers all help read through the forums through the week and after releases, if posts are constructive we will read and read and read, enjoying the amount of responses on how we can improve things. However when there are one or multiple posts that clearly are there just to attack people or just to have a go at the Devs, then that is where we stop, AKs delete and then move on, possibly even stop reading right there since it has put us off. That is not to say we do not come back since I know that for the most part, the majority of posts on this forum is read by atleast one member of the Team.
Suggestion wise, no end of suggestions have been implemented. RabbleFroth certainly takes player feedback into consideration and implements a lot of player suggested changes (maybe slightly modified to work), which is why the Balance section was created, so ideas could be looked through much easier and faster! Other suggestions, features etc. - Tournaments is the latest one, suggested a while back and has been suggested frequently since. Yes, not completely like players may have described, but it was implemented in the way the engine allowed and it is always open for improvement in future tournaments! As for others, there are many others that have been implemented over time, feel free to PM me if you want a further list of them. It is easy not to notice suggestions being implemented since a lot of them are old suggestions that we have wanted to do for a while, but only just have the means to do it, which means that it is hard to remember that it was from a suggestion after all. Due to the huge nature of the 'to-do' and 'would like to-do' list, new suggestion may not find their way in straight away, especially if they are not a completely needed. They will be fitted into the list where is most appropriate and implemented, once again, as and when time permits!
I know sometimes it is hard to understand why things happen and even why some things do not happen, but there is almost always a reason behind it.
