[QUOTE="Benjamin Olson, post: 8904978, member: 6988941"] My doubts of the effectiveness of writing ones thoughts on the surveys was never that I thought they were literally not read at all. My doubts were that the expressions recorded in individual surveys would be taken meaningfully into account by busy designers who all have their own ideosyncratic ideas and pet proposals about what should be in the game. I also doubted that decisions hadn't already been made about the most endemic things that bothered me. One can read suggestions all day without taking them meaningfully onboard. Frankly if you are getting suggestions from thousands of people it's all the more likely you take none of it onboard at all. One does not need the "they won't read it" conspiracy to imagine how giving feedback is likely to be a fruitless endeavor. [/QUOTE]
