I get it that the devs don't want to come to this forum anymore, but it would be nice if they had their own blog or a feed of some kind where they could communicate at least roughly what they're working on. The more we know, the better!
It would be like having a "weather forecast", and roughly know what to expect, if something you want desperately is being worked on or at least what is currently deemed more urgent to fix than your problem.
Like my favorite NHL insider Chris Johnston have said, and it applies here too:
“Teams need to sell hope or wins.”
And I think we can agree that the general mood in here (and comment sections on social media) is that the current state of the game is not a exactly on a winning streak right now. No playoff this year, mmm? A lot of the frustration comes down to knowing that things are not good, but not knowing anything about if it might be a part of the next update or not.
Me personally, I don't need to see a timeline, deadline or estimated time when a problem will be solved, but it would be greatly appreciated to have an idea of what is in the pipeline of fixes. A little information goes a long way!
