@Stashez It certainly seemed like a false dichotomy, implying that a "TV with half a screen that doesn't work" is comparable to the Guild Advance Search not showing every guild. Otherwise, why ask a completely random question about a broken TV?
Everybody can make their own decisions about where and how to spend their money. This bug not getting fixed impacts me not at all - so it wouldn't impact my spending habits. If you read AHQ long enough, you'll see that certain players have "pet bugs" that are really important to them - but other players disagree. Usually players that are impacted by one bug want that one fixed, while players impacted by another bug want that one fixed. But everyone's "pet bug" is THE MOST IMPORTANT (to them).
I have 0 visibility into the studio's priority rankings, or to know what their plan is. This forum exists to ensure that the studio has information that the bug exists. Once that happens - AHQ is out of the loop. It's entirely waiting on the studio.
I would love to see more bug fixes and Quality of Life improvements over just the development of more characters - but we have what we have.
