In support of influencers, community developers, and (LARGE) player group leaders, these are the only people FDev listen too.
As an example, last year, for months and months we had been asking what was happening with Player Minor Factions, we had posted in the PMF thread, asking why nothing was happening. The community manager(?) had consistently said he had nothing to say. It was not until several influences and community leaders posted videos on the issue did we get any response, and in the end, it was in one of their content streams here. However, as they were more interested in showing off the new screenshot candy we were given a less than cordial response to the question possed, “player factions are really exciting but I don’t think they're quite as cool as the inside of these structures (in reference to a guardian site they were showing off)... ...under active consideration”, after months and months of silence and inaction, they basically say 'we know you've been asking, but we've been ignoring you, but now we are looking at doing something because we are being forced too'.....
So you know what, if you want something brought into the open with FDev, if you want something addressed and changes made, then influencers, community developers, and (LARGE) player group leaders have to speak for us because they are the only people FDev will listen to when it comes to problems we as a community want to address.
