Why do I feel like Bioware is not listening to the players ?

'Oh .. '
'How nice!'
'Better than gold!'

I did. Wow didn't have interface issues such as the auction house being completely unusable, or any other issue for that matter. Cooldowns displayed properly, you knew if you were waiting for the GCD or not. you could add 6 bars and have them in logical places. The map worked flawlessly. all dialog boxes worked, all vendor options worked. you could shift-click items in to the chat box at launch.

Oh, speaking of chat box, wow wasn't released with an unusable chat box that guild/party/ops chat disappeared at for people.

So what exactly about the interface at release was broken, unusable or bugged?

as for FPS issues? this was 2004, a game engine designed to run on computers as old as pentium II 500mhz. you could run it on windows 98 if you wanted to and people did. Those people didn't have FPS issues.

Bioware isn't listening to US.

That is far more eloquent than how I could have put it.

I bet you some of their decision makers have read Calhoun's Disquisition or Alexis de Toqueville Democracy in America.


It's Mobile Vulgus in here. They'd be crazy to listen to most of these people. On that note, Blizzard listened. How about those Pandas.

Did you read them? They have really nothing to do with this discussion.

Also, how are the pandarens bad? people wanted them as a playable race since WC3. Most hyped potential new race in BC.

In my tentative review of TOR, one of my major problems was lack of company-client communication (and this remains true to some extent, since one of the awesome-est things about WoW is that they have three or so people whose job it is, at least partially, to communicate with the users of their forums), but as of yesterday I can't really say that they don't.

They're changing the UI to be fully customizable (...hopefully not just resizing + moving all elements), they're fixing the ability delay (and gave us a tentative ETA), they at least repaired the damage from the change of Ilum PvP from the induction of Patch 1.1.

They're obviously listening to the players, and at a relatively fast pace; it just annoys me that they don't interact with us enough.

Of course I did, and yes they do - it's that obvious. Did you read them? Given your response I'm going to go ahead and say no.

Because they are a racist joke. Worse than "voodoo" trolls.

Edit: clarity

There's a whole forum full of responses.

I'm looking at the dev tracker and UI updates, guild banks, stacking, etc etc and wondering if this poster just has no concept of reality.
