Yes, we know that the more errors and mistakes put out in game cause more distrust that is placed on the company. Yes, there are plans to help change this. Will you see them overnight? No, you probably won't start to notice them for quite some time (months even).
@Bobar: Yes, we are starting to listen more. Unfortunately, they can't just cancel everything. Yes, events that run on such a regular basis should be running with less errors. Yes, new features and major updates may have some kinks. The focus is on bringing you a smoother game with less errors. Yes, we know you won't start believing that until we show you with a series of events and updates with little to no mistakes (definitely no major mistakes).
@Night and Day: If I could code, I would, but my focus is you, the players.
@Shadow Demon: It is full of amazing ideas and we can't wait to take those back with us. We may be failing you and we really want to turn that around, but part of that will call for action from all of you. With that being said, I will not let you insult and tear down my colleagues. Not only would most people not say what is often deleted here never be said to a persons face, but I take online harassment very seriously and will not cultivate a community in which it is ok to tear down, threaten, or blatantly insult others. Not only do you destroy morale internally by not being constructive, but you also scare community members that are lurkers into not posting and not asking questions and not adding to what can be an amazing and wonderful place where people come together to share experiences and build life long friendships. So yes, you are expected to follow the Forum Code of Conduct and if you choose not to, eventually you will be banned.
I still firmly believe that you, the players, are the experts, the heart and soul, the most amazing part of our game. We want to create a place we can showcase that. That does not mean we won't have negative criticism, we will. But we can create a place where it is constructive. We will never talk down to you, and I don't want you to talk down to my team. They're all amazing people just like our awesome players here that care and love this game. Let's work together to turn this around.
@Adm. J: It's a room of like 300 Community Managers; learning from a few select individuals how they helped communities. No one has a consumer here, except maybe Salesforce. We're actually still here.
