You’re right, and if I gave that impression, you have my apologies.
But I want to offer a piece of criticism–or advice if it’s something about which you’re already aware–and if this comes across as harsh, again, forgive me, because I’m only trying to help: You’ve got to step it up.
What I mean is that threads with comprehensive feedback are great, but you need to centralize them in one place, with a single, comprehensive game design philosophy (that aligns realistically with the devs), and you have to come up with concrete, specific fixes. Someone–or a few someones–need to be in charge to moderate, so to speak, the good ideas from the bad. You need to polish it all and present it in GD as a unified, cohesive community.
Even then, that may not be enough. We Barbs built a website, then reached out to YouTubers, Dfans, Icy Veins, and any other outlet we could to generate coverage and publicity. That really caught the attention of the developers, and when they responded, they had two names in particular to zone in on: mine and Rage’s.
The Barb Buff Proposal was a community effort and endeavor, but by acting as spokespersons and shouldering the lion’s share of the actual work, Rage and I were able to communicate directly with Blizzard.
Again, this is just my two cents, and I apologize if this seems out of line or ultra-prescriptive. I’m only trying to help. If you feel I’m out of line, let me know.
