Firstly, volunteer, so not my job i'm here because i love the game and want to help the game and the forum become better.

Dismissing a change because you dont think it has a monetary value doesn't make it so.

There is no dev monitoring of GD, only the devs that are on the PR side of things. The sub forums are where the devs that can actually execute changes are looking, dividing them up helps the content be relevant to a specific topic. There is no way to hush things, if we wanted that things would have stayed as they were and things would get buried in GD every hour and never be seen by anyone unless they were flagged to be looked at. I'm also confused about how any of this is a "hush" since its still there for all to see and actually becoming more visible to the people who need to see it....

Most (if not all) posts about the P4 platoons are here where they should be, and nothing is ever deleted (as long as its within forum guidelines). <

anyway, i dont want to derail this thread any longer. people jump on the devs with any mistakes made, but never want to give them any credit when they listen......

There are plenty more out there if you are willing to search. What constitutes a change? Notice how the EA post on reddit getting the most dislikes of any reddit post ever caused them to make a change in battlefront 2. But what if that post had been on here? And they were able to move it to a sub-forum that is much less visited by the public? What if they could scatter opinions rather than letting them form together and unite? It’s really actually common practice, whether you choose to acknowledge it or not.

I hear what you are saying though. I wasn’t dismissing anything, I was just trying to show how that is comparing apples to oranges. Many people were very happy about changes to GW. So that’s good. But that doesn’t change what’s going on through other aspects of the game. The fact that characters only accessible through $300+ Purchases are being required so heavily so early on is just counter intuitive. It Is either A ) poor planning (this would be more like oblivious planning) or B ) an obvious money grab. Either of which is easily avoidable if effort is put forth. Changes to galactic war is irrelevant to that. That’s all I was saying. And that is very on topic with OP.

And I’ll even add. I’m not dissing the devs... I’m dissing the guys telling the devs to add money grabbing incentives to their content. It’s clear the devs are experienced and know how to create solid content. But they are just cogs in a greater system. If anything, I feel sorry that the devs get so much crap. It’s likely not their fault at all. But yea keep doing you. I want this game to thrive as much as you do. We just go about it in different ways I guess.
