Re: About the "This announcement can change, we listen" part.
Hi!
I think this announcement is related to the whole content of the update. I can't understand why would they need feedback from us to continue the game? They don't need that because each one of us is here for the same reason: we want to continue playing the game. It would be surprising to see them asking "Probably deleting soon, do you want us to continue this game?".
About the questions you pointed, they are really good ones but that's the main reason I believe it has nothing to do with the possibility of the game development continuing because of us. If you're about to end a game of a well known franchise wouldn't you make it clear in bold letters that if the players support it, it won't end? What we received was very vague.
The very first moment the devs and the CM's went missing here and stopped communicating properly (if we ever had something like that) was the moment the development was already dead. What we're currently seeing probably is the past, content that was already planned and done months ago. It's like seeing a start in the sky, we can actually see it right now, but it was already dead light years ago.
After september's update I expect as much support as GW2 had (or less?): balance updates, it did really had plenty of them and that's what I think they're referring to, that once this whole thing happens they will keep listening to feedback to balance things in game like they did with GW2.
Of course, both of us could be wrong, or you could be right (I wish for god sake, it would be the best outcome) and I could be wrong. Why? Because, once again, "Here in EA we want to keep communicating and making things clear but we're gonna do the opposite and won't hire someone to answer properly most of your questions".
I think we will have some words (a few like the CM gave yesterday) at the end of this month.
