  • Where is our transparency?

    Beta Test
    Beta - Non official launch, yet.
    Test - Either paid or volunteer testers for a product. (In this case, it is Voluntary).

    Software testers know and understand that there will always be glitches, bugs and unstable system during test and post-official phase. Testing never stops.

    A company has their roadmap and plans on how they want their product to be. It is business to them, they have budgets, ROI and Investors to consider as a whole.

    And...NO, a company does not need to be completely transparent with their roadmap and plans to their consumers. Unless you are an investor (different category).
    - Its like telling Apple (or Tesla, etc) to be transparent with their iPhone product roadmap, ideas and plans. Again, unless you are the investors and shareholder of Apple.Inc.

    A game is a software product. Like all products there is shelf life and consumers who like/dislike the product(s). If you prefer iOS, good. If you prefer Android, good. Either way, there is no wrong answer. Each to their own.

    If you sincerely think you have a good idea or feature that can help the game and/or community, present it correctly and constructively(but do not expect). Let the company decide if your idea a good-top-priority idea that is in-line with their roadmap or just one of those K.I.V. ideas.

    Instead of crying and whining. Do present your idea with revenue benefits in mind, they are a company after all. ('Revenue' here does not have to be in monetary form).

    Here, I see so many post dictating, ordering and even threatening the company to change features on a whim and carter to every outcry of every single person who posted their ideas. That's not how things work. Most posts in the forum are entitled cry babies crying when things don't suit them, without considering the bigger picture as a whole.


    If you claim that you and your guild can contribute and be beneficial to the game. Prove it. Show your support and lay your ideas through the correct and proper format. (crying and whining is not a proper format). Claiming you can play 24 hours a day does not necessary mean you will benefit the company. It only benefits you benefit yourself. Your own entertainment and sense of enjoyment.
