With a new release, there's always the instant uproar of the community. They have to let it sink in and see what we do with it once we stop grumping about it. There's no point in a knee-jerk reaction to appease the community's reaction, as that would do more harm than good in the long run.
I like how @CG_Carrie gets straight to the point ;) thanks for the update! It's good to know what's going on.
I agree, however the feedback on 2.0 in particular is less "we don't like this because it's different" and more "you've made a bad situation worse".
Granted, based on what CG says they intend to do it MIGHT get better as more stuff is rolled out. However, NO ONE outside of CG knows what the Hell any of that unreleased content is so we're going off of hearsay, guesswork, and subtle hinting from CG. Didn't work out well for the initial 2.0 rollout, won't work any better once more completely non-communicated change comes through.
Straightforward communication this isn't. CG is playing things close to the vest for some reason, and the general perception is because they KNOW the players won't particularly like what comes next. Either @CG_Carrie actually needs to level with the community, or drop the pretense that the new "open" communication strategy will actually be implemented.
So far all I hear is a lot of "we can't talk about specifics" and sending the actual communication guy out of the office in a furor...
