Really....are you and everyone else a bunch of whining idiots? Or do you need to go back to school to learn how to read and research before QQing?

I'm sorry but my calling out a logical fallacy that labels me as a malcontent who wants this game to fail, if I don't agree that this summit is a great idea, is a remark (let's face it) YOU don't want to read? Tough!

What the hell are you talking about? The very fact that I'm still paying for the game, and enjoying it, is proof enough, that I want this game to succeed. I can wait on fixes too. That doesn't make it ok for them to drag their feet on game breaking issues and ignore the forums with very few exceptions.

However,
"Why hasn't this issue been fixed now" is a reasonable question to ask when a major issue has been around since the early stages of closed beta.

I'm no genius, but I know enough to know that nothing you said has anything to do with this summit ****.

Its unfortunate that you're limiting the age to 21. I've been GM of my guild for about 4 years now, and I'll be turning 21 on March 23rd. You should really consider that before giving an arbitrary limit on who may come based around what I assume to be legal drinking age. There definitely are better ways to address underage drinking.

Well it's a combination of them for the most part, ignoring the forums, then doing this. It's hard not to think that this meeting isn't some preferential treatment, to me. Or Bioware's opinion of it's fanbase.

I find the need to segregate the player base into a small group, who is important enough to be talked to face to face (or at all), a slap in all those faces who of people who provided them with carefully written posts and get nothing.

It's the baffling decision, to do it the way they have, that is my problem. alienating your player base for whatever reason is always a bad idea. It's bad enough that these games are designed to give guilds every advantage, but to elevate guilds to the level of personal invites to developer meetings, is just horrible.

I'm in a guild, if they want my opinion, I'll just give it to them here. My words aren't so special that they need to spoken in person.

I love my GM like a brother, but I know more about the game than he does. I've progressed farther too. That's fine with me.

First time I have heard about something like THIS. Sounds awesome, but sadly im too young to attend plus I don't even have a guild. Wonder if it has anything to do with alcohol...
Edit: Give us a livestream of this!

I don't think they ignored it (I'm aware of how lousy beta communication was done and I can't answer for them there) I think they have a completely different team now than when development started (internet hearsay) and I don't think they are going to fix a bunch of stuff that most of us aren't experiencing. I could be wrong but I've stated it on several occasion - I have zero performance issues and this is the smoothest launching mmo I have been a part of, I have no idea what most of you are experiencing and I've been hearing about it for months! There are some quirks like kira carsen didn't work and my master strike was wonky for a while, but that was fixed and I haven't seen a bit of it since. Since my comp runs it perfectly I imagine the ones at EA/BW do too.

I'm not tracking on how this alienates anyone in the player base, it's simply an event to add to the overall process of development. I don't think they are going to hear out the guilds and then start coding everything they say into the game right there on the spot.
