do the gurus actually look at this forum?

Personally I’m not interested in socializing with gurus. What is important to me, is the idea they are aware of what goes on in the community. That means not just the praising, but also the critique. All corners of the community, not just the people who love the current game (that used to be me 2009-2013, with a passion that lasts to this very day, it’s others now). It saddens me the version that suits me best gets thrown under the bus so often, because it leaves me with a feeling my playing style doesn’t matter and is thrown under a bus. And I regret I’m left with an impression my voice is considered completely irrelevant anyway because I’m the wrong age and not part of a ‘target group’.
