We do have to understand that whether he says one thing...then contradicts himself right after...
HE WILL ALWAYS FIND A WAY OUT
or if he can't....Your messages...WILL BE DELETED!

We aren't even allowed to UNITE as a COMMUNITY because of this....
Dare i say....DICTATORSHIP

I'm sure others have tried in the past and then...BAM all their hard work....VANISHED
why? because of a certain someone always deleting instead of speaking to us.
In a place where someone could give us information to help us...
we instead get someone to delete our posts and ideas....our beliefs...and we just lose motivation.

YES THE GAME IS DYING
doesn't mean it can't last years...
Oasis could keep this game going...
They keep creating new servers....OLDER PLAYERS(as in experienced ones)
Just move servers or play on multiple accounts on different servers since they already know how it works.
Does that mean there are more players? Not necessarily. It Just means that although the game could be dying...
There are people that switch to newer servers in HOPES that they can spend there and be strong in said server.
Why though? because the game is GOOD
This game is amazing!! it's just kind of....being killed by the company hosting it.
And without being able to get decent feedback(because SOMEONE just deletes our posts) they cannot improve.

I remember all those polls...where WE WON and yet....they implemented what they wanted to implement from the beginning...
The very first one I remember had to do with CROSS SERVER things...
We WON in FAVOR of NOT having Cross Server....ANYTHING lol
and they turned around and ACTIVATE CROSS SERVER....EVERYTHING...really?
Did a Mod go and change the results and say "Yes the community wants this!"

I know a game that practically died already but is still spewing out content.
No lie....it is being run still and if you were to log onto that game...you'd see that there are like no Mods(at least their posts never get deleted)
*ers run amok and is an uncontrollable mess now...
Hey it is still running...so it must be alive right? I guess it depends on the point of view...

Thank you so much for communicating with us!
Been feeling like you just wanted to ignore us entirely and just delete our comments like usual.
This does at least give us some info on everything.
Main reason why people question the relationship between Oasis and Tencent at all is because we ask about things...
and ask you to send it up...and we don't get back feedback on whether it went anywhere....will go anywhere...or is even in consideration...
So because we try to give and get nothing back in return...we're like "What happened? can Oasis even do anything? Maybe even Tencent won't listen to Oasis"
and things of the sort....whether that be true in any way or not...we may or may not ever actually know.
BUT we only wonder because we get very little back from Oasis.
People will listen and people will expect to be heard. That's how a good community works.
When either the company itself or the players...stop communicating...THAT is when questions and problem arise.

Company says nothing to players....players begin to speculate and question a lot more....
Players say nothing to company....probably means they tried to ask and got nothing...and just gave up and left.
Then the community ends :( the game is great. Just us wanting clarification on things.

Such as...if there are such things as polls...and if we are allowed to change a few things then why can't you ask the community what they want?
"Here's a poll! if you guys want the missing content from 3.0 then it will cause a delay on 4.0 for months"
and have people decide. If such a thing is known to us...we can respond. In such a case you would literally let US pick the "lesser evil"

Perhaps you do have a schedule to keep...a hidden one that can change at any moment because of a bug or many and so you cannot tell us....
"FEATURE X will be implemented next patch!"

That's understandable of course.
BUT instead of giving us a date...you can tell us something like
"There will be delays but the team is working on FEATURES A, B, C and D to be released hopefully in the next few months"
That's not a promise at all...but it gives us an idea at how long we may have to look forward to to HOPEFULLY have them.
and then there's the fact that even if the TEAM works on many possible Features...not all would be implemented at the same time either.

I know a company that lets the community know of their schedule.
They don't give dates until they know for sure but overall their team works well and we can expect it about a week or 2
after it goes into the player testing server. They allow players to test it separately from their actual accounts and help with bugs.
Then they usually implement the feature a week later OR they let us know there will be a delay of about a week or so.
When they will have sales...they also let players know of what items will be up for sale and even by how much %%
So that players can save up and buy during those open times.
They are always open to player suggestions and have even implemented features the community has come together to vote on
(weirdly enough...never had a post deleted there lol)
items and game modes have also been implemented due to community asking for it.
Although it didn't happen overnight either. Took a year for some..years for others....
But they have always been open about their plans for the future.
Always telling us about features they wish to implement and how said features are starting to look.
Even early character designs so far back as even 1year+ before it being actually implemented because the community wanted to know when the next X Character
would appear.

But yeah...we'll understand if you have things you can or can't say.
We just want to hear YOUR voice....OASIS' voice over here in the forums too....
Give us some polls if it's possible...
(though nothing like the cross server stuff we wished hadn't been implemented...and voted to a majority in favor of not having...just for Oasis to implement anyways)

that one was kind of sad....

Company and its developers deciding if certain features are worth adding or not alright cool!
but if it can be decided to add or not...any feature at all....
would it not be possible to ask the community what they would prefer?
Such as getting Feature X but delaying Patch YZ ?
or getting Patch YZ but delaying or even getting rid of Feature X?
^
I would really like to know about this last one.
Because if you think about it...IF we...the Community...gets to pick the "Lesser Evil" ourselves...then we really can't even blame Oasis if for whatever reason we regret our decision....since we would have picked it ourselves with a majority.

I know another company that has polls for updates...
We have to have a 75% IN FAVOR for the update to happen.
They toss out around 10-15 ideas of different updates they can work with and implement.
If it's even 74.9% or so...they will not implement it and scrap the idea entirely.
While they do add in normal things themselves when necessary....
They still talk to the community a lot about future updates and how WE would like to see them or not.

If a FEATURE is REALLY good....I might not even care about DELAYING another for it.
IF there were a poll...and I still don't get it...then I wouldn't even be mad...because at least we were allowed to choose.
