We've had all these bugs for over a year:
1. Ore mining units do not crate.
2. Fusion and solar generators can not be experimented and this has been broken for over a year.
3. Bestine museum paintings are bugged on several servers.

Are you aware of the above issues? When will these bugs be fixed?
We need some form of ongoing repeat business. Any of the following would help give us a shot in the arm:
A. Furniture customization was apparently in the works at one point. Hundreds of people voted in our thread.
B. New structures and furniture items. Preferably not 1 use looted schematics.
C. We're about ran out of the Bestine museum paintings. We'd like some more please.

Note to all: Please no debates in this thread ok? I'm just asking for the status on our open issues.
Note to Mods: Please delete individual posts if needed rather than the full thread?

I'm not expecting anything new from Dvnce in this thread. He already indicated in the last one that there wasn't anything going on.

Surprised? i'm not. We're dead, galaxy is built, they don't need us anymore. 'Used and thrown away'. Oh yes, wemay still selling CSs and GH. However &please, don't nerf smithes in Curb as they didn't earn a penny yet. wt,f, our buildings without decay and some guns as dx2 break after 400k xp grinding.. oh, and now they complain about adk... envy? don't think so, i play since european launch, did already my hundreds, i had enough time to go armor/weaponsmith and didn't.

Maybe its just me. I don't know, but am I the only one who wonders exactly what our correspondant does for us? D hasn't gotten squat done in months. I dont want to flame or start any arguements, but I just see nothing happening in our profession and its kinda his job to present our views and needs to the development community. is this even being done? Has development said ANYTHING about architect? if not, WHY NOT? And what is D doing to keep us in thier minds?

I think D is doing a good job actually. The correspondent can't exactly convince the Devs to do anything. I mean look at the uproar about the galaxy vendor search that the merchants had and we still got the search with all the previous features except the remote delivery. Straight up, we're just being crapped on by the devs. That's why I haven't really posted on Pawlin's demand threads, because I know it won't do any good.

I know the correspondant can't force anything to happen. But when was our last update? When was the last time we recieved any word on what was in store for us? When was the last report on our issues? Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place and just don't see it. Point me to a list of accomplishments over the past.. what..year? 1.5 years almost?
How long is the funiture poll going to be stickied before we see or hear something about it? How many times are umpteen different architects going to voice concern and ideas to never see any response? Would it be so hard for our correspondant to maybe...post something? I'm not talking about him answering "how many lots doesa house take up?" but why can we not have a weekly (hell i'll settle for monthly) update post on the status of our issues?
I just don't feel that anything is being done for us, and its his job to speak for us as a community. I'd like to see this happen sometime.
PS - Pawlin this is the last response I'll put in this thread. My apologies.

I think if Dvnce had anything to tell us then he'd tell us.
Don't shoot the messenger.

True the Correspondents dont have the power to force the Devs to do anything. I did do a breakdown of what We the architects pushed that got put into the game over the last year ( i think that was in the thread that got deleted ) .. Sure none of them are really Architect Specific Issues ( of which I am not happy about )
As far as the Furniture Colorization poll. That was a feature that the Devs them selves presented as a possibility it wasnt even a top 5 issue until the devs said it was a possibility and that will be there till the Devs finally follow through with that one..
I am as much of a thorn in the Dev's side as I can be. and will continue to push my limits on what I bug the Devs for.. hehe you can ask Elyssa I often get the indirect warning to cut the devs some slack in the Corr forum.. Are day in the Sun will Come.. I have been assured of that.,. When I dont know.. I would love to say it will be soon.. but its bad business practice to sugar coat things.. I would rather wait till I have concrete info to pass on.
Here is a clue when it looks like we will forever be on the back burner... thatis the day I resign and cancel my account. The Fighting Playstyle (though i do enjoy it ) isnt what has kept me in SWG for almost 2 years. and If SOE wishes to convert this into a Fighting Playstyle only Focus then SWG isnt the game for me..
As far as a current update.. I am kinda waiting for the next big list of Patch notes to hit that they will push onto test center.. I am really hoping that this is the one they address a couple items that I have REALLY been b &m'n about

That's true.
I keep worrying that he's gonna get permanent pounce marks on his backside.
Now that the blue glowies got the boot, I think Dvnce is the only one left annoying them. 
Then again, I've known that this was the case all along.
I just didn't think it was my place to say anything.

I'm not trying to start a war or anything. But did you ever ask the devs why they brought up furniture colorization if they never intend to implement it? How about seeing as we are the only profession truely outside of combat, is anything changing for architect with the curb? Dont need specifics just wonderign if we are?
When there is a lack of action, there should at least be communication. While nothing may be going on with architect can we please see some updates about your efforts to bring our plights to the devs? Even if its just a weekly "Hi all... brought up blah-blah and devs say screw you" thats fine. But when we see nothing being done and we have 0 communications we starrt to despair.
And finding out WHY we are seeming underserving of any support or enhancements would go a long way too.

No war .. and no hard feelings.. I am always open to ways that I can help pass information as best as possible.. and I always am open to professional constructive critism.. Know that alot of the answers I get from the devs come with.. But that is not for Public knowledge.. ( which is really really frustrating ) I aggree with you that communication is the key to keeping things in order..I think that the Devs are confined too tightly to their boxes.. ( I am not knocking the devs I believe that we have a very talented group developing this game.. ) but what I think not being able to take a look at everything from the perspective that most of the rest of us get to view the game from issue priorities get messed up... ( I dont know if I am explaining this well so I will give you an example I am dealing with in Real Life )
Example.. I am a consultant for businesses of all sizes.. I get hired to come in evaluate do market research and see if I can increase profit and effieciency. ( think Office Space Im kinda like the Bob's )( I think their name was Bob lol ) The company I am currently with has several office locations.. I am set up in one office that has NO managment staff. and is filled with pretty much brand new in the business employees that never have been trained correctly from start to finish on how to do their job.. this office location has lost money for the last few years.. I say well .. Mr Owner ( who is one of the most successful people in this business in the NorthWest ) the problem is it is pure Chaos in that office there is no structure and it is totally disorganized and no one in that office Knows exactly what they are suppose to do with each client .. He says How is that possible I am there every wednsday and every things seems fine.. I say well of course you are the one that signs their paycheck. and when you are there everyone is too busy knowing that they loose you money and you should fire them so they try their hardest to appear as busy as possible.. He is so confined by the box he cant look at the real issues..
as far as the furniture colorization poll.. I aggree why even bring it up if it was going to be shelved Why bring up the Hutt Casino if it was going to be shelved.. why? I dont know.. I think that that is an Excellent subject and question for its Own thread that I would love to provide a link to the devs about... I would suggest that you start one. I really dont mind these threads that hold me accountable to certain issues.. it gives me opportunity to say Hey devs look here.. See I really am not a Crack Pot these are really important issues to my fellow architects..

Done. Please pass along our cries to any member of development who you should happen to cross paths with.
