GGG are slowly becoming like EA/Activison.

I think GGG does read feedback, but unless the topic is severe and demands their attention, they don't deem it necessary to respond. Take a scenario I had as an example. When Atlas of Worlds was announced, there was a trailer showcasing the Riftwalker boss. I was so fascinated by how it looked, I commented that GGG should make MTXs to give us that void look. A member of support contacted me and suggested I repeat that here on feedback on its own thread, because the devs are always keeping an eye on what players want. I did, made a thread about it talking about how much I loved the background space effect and how we should have cosmetics around it. No staff responded to the thread itself nor did I get any further private messages, but it made me wonder if my suggestion had an impact on the celestial MTXs.

You may not think GGG is paying attention, but I'm pretty sure they are. Why they prefer to respond on reddit rather than here is a different discussion I don't have any knowledge on.

In the same manner, I'm pretty positive that some suggestions/ideas from that huge joke of a thread that we had about the lab were considered by GGG and led to the labs that we have now (not the nonsense with the river of tears about giving the ascendancy points for free of course).

I just think it cowardly not to engage with your player base. They have forum rules to curb vitriol, and they have shown multiple times they are not opposed to using them.

That being said, they are entitled to run their forum the way they want. They are the ones paying for it.

cowardly? there is no such thing as cowardly in business world.
this is how you deal with your players professionally.
you dont provoke them like EA did with bf 5.and you dont ignore them like Blizzard did. but you can talk to them from time to time.
just perfect.

aaand about running away from forum. if they gave even the smallest answer to one feedback, this place would swarm with stupid people like poe reddit.
that place is the worst.
just know that they read this place and act accordingly if acting is necessary.

I beg to differ. In business, any decision you make lands somewhere on the scale of cowardly to risky. Business is all about risk management, but in no way does it mean you never take risks. You give the two most recent extreme examples, but there is a huge middle on that scale.


Being afraid to give the smallest amount of feedback because it may cause some controversy is cowardly, I mean, it's an example of the very definition. Like I said though, they can run their forum how they see fit, and I am sure that they care about as much for my opinion on this topic as they care about it on any other topic. Which is 0. That is fine though, I don't consider myself special. I only come to the feedback section because I find it entertaining. I have never thought that anything I have ever said mattered, and they have never given me any reason to think otherwise.
