They only care about your money. You people continue to throw it at them so you're encouraging them to continue to be shitlords.
Currently being stalked around these forums by some clowns who caught feelings over being called out at being grossly inept at their job.

A lot of these issues are not going to be easily fixed by GGG. For instance, movement skills that report hits on mobs, especially multiple ones, might require a check for each hit mob... And, if it's difficult for the Xbox to do that, then they either have to recode for Xbox or... make a new Xbox?

The other issues are things GGG has already been made aware of. Aside from an accidental inclusion in a patch, they have yet to address the hampered marketplace search system. They have yet to live up to their somewhat-promise to try to make searches easier, like with releasing an API for XBox Marketplace so we can do online searches using other sites.

And, the population problem is an issue they can't force, either, unless they run their own "bots." (I'd actually not mind if they did that, either, considering the absurd prices and lack of item availability that means many interesting builds are not viable on Xbox.)

To be honest, what can we truly expect them to do? The best thing they could do is try to market the XBox version much more, engage with any vendor marketing programs Microsoft runs, and add some filters for the marketplace. Making a mechanic that players could use, like a "Looking for Group" mechanic might be nice, but it may also backfire terribly.

What I expect is just a marketplace filter system added, eventually, and GGG surreptitiously running some auction-bots to help out the marketplace situation. That's about it, really. In extremis, I could see them attempting to negotiate the twisted path of cross-platform play for consoles (Xbox/PS4) to help with the population problem, but that would be a huge leap and one that is almost nonexistent even in this very mature last-generation console market. And, even then, it may not generate much in the way of a profitable option on their end, so it's not very likely.
The biggest issue is the xbox devs/staff have ZERO transparancy on what's being worked on and ETA's, whereas on PC, if enough people complain about an issue on Reddit, Chris Wilson himself will reply and address the issue and whether or not he agrees, as well as a time frame if they're going to fix. We get absolutely none of that on xbox. We have no idea if anything other than league content is even being worked on.

For some that may be acceptable, but we are making it very clear to GGG why their product will fail on console if things are not addressed and changed. You can't just leave your userbase in the dark and not fix broken things for years and expect your game to flourish.
