I didn't even try sniffing it.

Use all your senses, brother! Imma gonna lick it next.
I guess that settles it for everyone then. I'm not surprised you'd make that argument. I will say, that you are entirely entitled to your mind.
One post that doesn't sniffle about CLogging. I guess it's a start.
Cheers duder, as is everyone else o7
I like this thread.
Noone takes petitions seriously.
Maybe kids at university who still think they can make a difference?
My reading on what happened is... the hive stirred up not because of the petition, but because the post and the drama was on reddit. Frontier are terrified of that mob.

Tbf, these forums have for a week. Look at all the threads and comments.
Frontier don't respond to posts here apart from a certain class of bug reports and complimenting the community team.
I don't go on reddit, i meant here in the forums. You live in both places, have you not noticed the contrast in frontiers responses based on the place issues are raised?
Nope. FDev do well to respond across all the different social media they interact with. If anything, the Elite CM team need more members to cover the demands placed on them.
I refer you to point #2 of my previous post.
I would absolutely advise against making use of the change.org website unless you use a "burner" email addy to sign up.
A few years ago, I signed a "serious" petition hosted there (asking for better treatment of Gurkha soldiers in the Brit' army) and afterwards I received an endless stream of poop from that site, which only ended when I swapped to a different ISP.
You can find yourself getting, literally, hundreds of emails from change.org every day.
Avoid it like the plague.
Any petition is just a waste of 8 letters
Definitely don't want a game by committee. "Like they really have a clue" I 'll take fd's vision every time
While i understand that it had in general good intentions, there are many reasons i didn't sign.
1) I knew some people wouldn't be able to resist trying to use it as a bludgeon against FD. DO IT OR ELSE! I simple didn't want to be associated with that.
2) Pretty much understood it wouldn't change anything or much anyway.
3) We have other routes for giving feedback to FD. If those aren't working, a petition wasn't going to work either.
4) Better communications - they aren't that bad, although i would like more, but FD have said on many occasions they simply are not willing to give out information like the petition wants.
5) Bugs - i'm confident that the buggy patches are as much a source of frustration for the devs as us players, and while they can definitely improve, they haven't done so in 5 years. So i'm not holding my breath on this one and doubt a petition will change much anyway.
6) Beta tests - meh, we had them, we still had buggy broken releases. Including new bugs that were not in the beta.
7) While there was lots of outrage and stamping on feet over bugs, somehow i was largely unaffected. Collector bug could have impacted me, but for the 1 day it existed i didn't get to play. Other serious issues i've either avoided through luck or been aware and therefore did something else/worked around them.
8) Overall, i simply didn't like the tone of it and don't like attempts to browbeat devs of any product/game.

^ Pretty much all of this for me too.
Also, I feel that the title of this post is worded in such a way to denote that those people who didnt sign the petition were wrong or bad in some way, though inflection could come off differently in the written word then spoken/body language.
