Wait let me clarify, so are you saying personally that the team listens to the community and the community is harsh? (this is where i say we feel a lack of sympathy/solidarity from the mods)
Could you explain that in terms of cross server sage?
The existence of the forum proves Oasis listens? That's not very logical to be honest. By that logic, I'm sure the existence of the poll does that too right? Real listening doesn't mean receiving feedback. Real listening mean ACTING according to feedback. In case it isn't obvious, there is no credit for receiving feedback. Yes there have been improvements and its noticed and appreciated. But lets be honest and real, many of those things have been long overdue and its inconsistent. Mostly damage control of problems caused by not listening to the community in the first place and nothing to really brag about. Regardless, does past improvements make this whole issue of ignoring the poll decision alright?
Please Acer1, can the community have a proper official statement/explanation on this? I know there are constraints to a lot of what you guys as mods can do and we understand. But Oasis really needs to treat their community better. Yeah sure implement cross server sage against the majority vote, but at least they need to make an effort to explain things and acknowledge that they have just ignored a majority vote. Pretending like nothing happened makes their community feel like dirt in their eyes. No conclusion needs to be jumped to... Oasis simply ignored the poll, that cannot be denied. Please at least acknowledge this. It doesn't matter If you think cross server sage is the greatest thing on earth, 60% of the forum community disagree with you. Bulldozing through them without explanation is a *my move.
You talked about suggestions by players and GLs that have been duly noted. Could you lists those down for us to see? Instead of saying something generic like that, some specifics will give the community more confidence. For instance,
"we have noted some of your suggestions as follows:
1. Increased rewards to compensate for increased difficulty in cross server sage
2. Better rewards for winning faction
3. Matchmaking to account for high power but lower leveled players.
4. etc etc"
The community doesn't know what you are duly noting. Especially if they never reach the implementation stage.
LoooL. I couldn't even fathom a reply to acer1's attempt at an explanation (where to start). I think I'm beginning to see where the problem lies. I think there is clearly a cultural disconnect here. There is a way people in the West see things. And there is a way people who grew up in the East see things too. Anytime the mods get in here to communicate to us you get the distinct feel that we're on a trip to Feudal Japan or Imperial China. Heck, if more than 20% of this game's working staff is Western or European, you can freely call me a monkey's uncle.
