Turning over development of this game to me or any of us would be hilarious and dangerous. We really just like to know we are being heard. And as of late it sure doesn't feel that way, especially with the other thread that was started about GWF and arena changes. It was sad that so many of us had to " act up" on Sunday night to finally get a response form the Tynon team about our concerns. I think basically what we want is the occasional and semi regular response to our concerns.

A good example is the power display glitch. How many different threads have been started on this? Many. Many of us know its a display glitch when you craft a new item and if you refresh it fixes it self. And even if youdont refresh if you go into battle you will see the correct power level. And most of us know it really doesn't effect anything. But the only response is to say it doesnt matter, power is just a measurement go into battle, this does not effect the game. When all we ant to see is, This is a known issue and we are addressing it in a future patch, it really does not effect the out come of battles. But we know about it and are planning to fix it in an upcoming patch.

So just a little more consistent feedback from the Tynon team would be seriously welcomed.
Your behavior on Sunday had nothing to do with my post. I did not even see it as I was not around at that time, but I'm quite sure the mods do not appreciate the rules of the forum being violated, and neither do I. Nor will it be tolerated.

The development team has been working on these features and decided they were ready to be announced last weekend, so I made the post on Monday when I got in.

As for your feedback not being considered, it seems to me that no matter how much we solicit and collect feedback, some will not be convinced that we are listening. It doesn't seem to matter that I made a thread specifically asking for player feedback about several concepts, we were deemed to "not be listening" because I didn't run a commentary on feedback that was posted.

Feedback threads are very simple, and I'll post this in future feedback threads.

We post about some ideas or concepts that we're implementing or considering. Players offer their comments. Multiple developers, who do not post on the forums, browse the thread at their leisure to get a feel for potential issues or concerns that may arise from the development. They make decisions accordingly. I intentionally do not get involved in the discussion because I don't want to become an "Ask Dawnseeker" thread or for people to address other concerns to me simply because they believe they have my attention.

I can only state this so many times in so many ways: Multiple developers read the feedback threads, and they don't want to see my opinions. They want to see your opinions.
