I’m hoping to use these postings as a direct way to address some of the top unresolved issues that most concern our community. I won’t get to everything all at once, but I’ll try to hit some of the big ones, and talk about these topics as openly as I can.
Given that our main concern here is that we have questions that have gone unanswered since pre-launch, and that no one else seems to have clearance to address it, I'd say this is indeed an invitation to ask.
The thread to address questions or comments to the State of the Game blog can be found
