So which is it? The problem can never be solved, or increased communication will make a drastic change in the attitude here? Developer communication across all games has decreased over the years because gaming communities suck. Seriously, the treatment players give developers these days is attrocious. Helper getting death threats etc... its a joke.

Making drastic changes does not mean problem solved.

Well, think of it this way: one one hand you have an angry mob of people who payed 40-60$ on a game. On the other hand you have developers (who are on the receiving end of the payment) hiding their heads in the ground, because the said angry customer mob is too vocal.

So at the end of the day the response of the devs to the playerbase/customer's complains is ignoring them completely. That is fine, really. And we wonder why there is so little proggress...
I apologize for not shedding a tear for the way multi-million dollar companies are being treated by people on the forums. The customers are truly evil.

Would you keep interacting with this form?
Actually, no kudos from me. The fact is, if I were being paid to work in an industry I love I'd put up with a ton of crap too... especially if it was part of my job to do so.

Yay for going to work... Good job earning that paycheck... I guess. LOL

Funny. I thought the implementation of the Cartel Store was the Rise of the Hutt Cartel. And no, I do not like what that story has to offer. I keep getting screwed in it.

Oh they do talk to us, we just cannot see it, maybe we need some special license or tools to see their posts.
In the Flashpoints & Ops forum you can clearly see they replied to the topic "Nightmare Denova", we just are not worthy or something to read it.

Agreed, and it's sad....it really is.

That's exactly what seems more likely to happen on venues such as Twitter and Facebook.

You are simply wrong. They do the q&a on a regular basis.
