But I did want to say the fact that SoE maintains their own forums and listens to player feedback there is something that really seperates them from most other MMO's out there. (Even if they're largely ignoring it the past few months).
There have been hundreds if not thousands of changes to the game that instigated from discussions here on these forums.
This has been one of the most amazing distictions. It's one of the reasons I am so sad to see the forums in the state they are now. There are some on the development team who still see the forums as an asset, but it is painfully obvious they are in the minority. The forums themselves for their own part have become horribly negative and quicker to dismiss and bash things but some of that might be from the frustration of feeling 'left out' and/or like talking to the wind. The forums have largely become pointless.
