Support Petitions Poll

Message Rating: Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I would say the problem is there are bugs.  I wouldn't  care about the petition system at all if there weren't bugs.  I would also not be as worried about the bugs much if I knew they were fixed quickly via petition system.  
And we aren't talking about small bugs but huge gameplay bugs.  But I understand greatly how someone sees 'hey everyone were paying to generate all these new shiny things'and  'no we haven't fixed or even addressed your issue regarding current game play which heavily impacts you, and nor do we intend to do to so 'soon.''    But all thats doing is affecting whether or not paying customers continue to pay.

	A poll, I'm afraid to say, that falls into that most pernicious, siren-like of traps; one that, as a sometime player of many previous game titles, I have certainly been guilty of leveling at other game teams in the past. The question itself presents a false dichotomy. The simple fact is that not everyone involved in reading, triaging, answering (and hopefully resolving) petitions / bugs is in the same team as those who are involved in new game feature development. And before anyone suggests "why not move some of them from the future dev team to the petition team", there are very different skillsets and abilities involved and it's not an option. A simple example would be that (eg) the guy trying to implement Chatv3 in websockets technology may actually never have played illy (and doesn't need to have played it to do his job well) and probably has literally no conception of what sovereignty is... and so won't be able to help with a petition about sov. This doesn't (and shouldn't) stop his work on something of future benefit to all. SC

	How about just fixing the polling? Since it reports I voted before even voting, LOL!

	I wonder how many people think that all Illyriad development should stop until the Support Petition system is improved? This implies that the Petitions are actually updated and resolved.
