It's a casual game with non-casual prices :p

Lol the only thing casual is the 22.5hrs that there is nothing to do.

Hello... from the other side? Like Adele I'm starting to get emotional about the relationship we have with the dev team. Baby come back!

There are many people here who would do this for free.
I have a software engineering background, work professionally in QA, and have an MBA from a top school. I'd do it for free. And I'd do it well and gladly.
I'd even volunteer to give up playing the game, despite enjoying playing it still, if that were required to avoid accusations that I were getting an unfair advantage.
This is just not important to them. I'm sorry, I know people hate "complaining", but it is what it is. People and companies take actions based on what they value.

I'd hire you, if I were them. :)

I agree, we're not really asking for that much here. This is the sort of thing I'd write:

Hey GOH fans!
Thanks for all the continued interest and high traffic on the forums! Here's the "State of the Game" for now:
-We're working hard on our next release patch, target mid-April. We've got some bug fixes coming, some Quality-of-Life improvements (moving the auto button away from the options cog), and look out for a new character! (Spoiler: He's blue with red eyes.) We're also looking at possibly revamping how defense works, stay tuned for more info! Advance patch notes will be posted when we're closer to launch.

-Looking toward the future, our next planned table content opening will be . We can't give too many details yet as there's still lots of work to do, but we're hoping to get this up and running by . There should also be a companion event for Yoda soon.

To some of the more talked-about topics here on the forum:
-The level cap raise . We're targeting , and will fine-tune the date release as we know more.
-We're still working on the answers to the Q&A thread from way back. We know how important this is to you, and we're committing to getting you the info you asked for. We're setting ourselves a hard target of to have the replies done, and we're going to work hard to meet that.

See? Wasn't that hard!

Dear Dev team,

A little communication goes a long way. Communication and a solid message can influence a target audience in ways you wouldn't believe; coupled with the ease of spreading your message this forum has unlimited potential to increase your profits and our in game enjoyment. Therefore, the following is a simple solution to fixing the perception of the forum masses.

1) Post a weekly or biweekly update of known bugs, forum observations, and dev team efforts.

2) Keep moderators informed on the game updates and progress to steer unruly threads between update messages. Perhaps promote more active members to mods.

3) Provide us your ideal end goal for this game. Allot of people are spending cash not knowing where this game is going and only seeing new character additions and few content additions. I'm talking provide us details on ships, guilds, events, guild wars, plot lines, etc. Where do you plan to take this game?

I think these simple things would really help the little guys.

Thanks for listening fellas.

+1 great post, if only. I could see many people investing more money if we had anything like this.

So many posts like this and all we have had in return is defeating silence.

Not hard, nope.
All you have to do is... care.

So true.

That's too bad because getting the trust of the fanbase is what they need to create a long lasting profitable game like clash. Unless this is supposed to be a quick cash cow,more involvement is expected from EA and team.

It's really weird they haven't posted or replied at all even on reddit. Usually they will make some comments even if they are mundane responses. Maybe they closed shop and didn't tell anyone.
