I like all the mods on the forums from what I've seen being on the forum. (although some of them don't really appear around as much due to their general role in this forum) They're pretty professional if anything. However, like Kaigen said (and quite a few others), transparency would honestly do good for this game. Sure, delete stuff that isn't real, but share what you are planning. Show us what work is going on. Tell us when you can't do certain things that was planned due to issues you've faced. Get the community involved in the issues. Its pretty much free labour, honestly. You'll get disappointment if certain events can't be done as promised. But the transparency would keep people happy. There is no reason to give any ETA on any planned future events. You can release it when ready. But at the very least, players know you are working on these events instead of making up pure speculations on the forums on when these events would come out. (which as previously said would be deleted anyway) The news post was a very good start to addressing what was planned. But it took the sacrifice of 1 employee who basically Snowden'ed his job to get this 1 post up. Now that players know that these events are coming, so what? Do Oasis lose revenue for releasing these events that are under work but with no ETA? I don't take business to understand how it fully works, but I have not seen a game company that hasn't grown with even partial transparency and revealing whatever they can to the players. (Blizzard: Overwatch, Valve: CS GO etc.) This post was last edited by PoisonScrub at 2017-3-26 22:35

All the * is out on the table now. They've taken a rather generic first response to attempt to tame the community. If done right, after this storm is over, this game would grow to be even better. Its not like they have no reason to not fix these issues. This game does generate the most revenue for them now. So it's up to the devs (and the involvement of the mods and community - if they ignore all those flaming ;P) to see how they handle the future events and how they address the players at a personal level. If nothing is done and they continue to function as if this is an irregularity (which hopefully with all that has gone down, they don't) the game community would shrink.
