Clem and I have decided on a weekly feedback thread so we can have a consolidated place to easily report your input to the development team on a more frequent basis. It's also easier to direct them to this thread to view your sentiments. While the dev team does check the forums, when doing our more frequent reporting it's nice to point them to a specific thread they can view. This gets them back to work on the game sooner, and less time navigating the forums.
I am neither a Founder nor am I decision-maker on the game; however, the post you've linked here has been brought to the attention of the development team. The responsibility of reporting feedback to the team falls on the shoulders of Clem and me, and we actively do so. Please keep in mind that the final decision in making changes within the game is up to the development team and not the Community Managers.
Please do keep civilly posting constructive feedback -- both positive and negative -- in these designated threads. We want to do the best job we can in forwarding your thoughts on the game to the team, and these threads make it easier for us to do so.
