We really need a statement from the devs (or through you) of when we can expect REAL attention to our class, and not a couple of "token notes"

I concur.



This is **pre-dit** disgusting. Image designers get more direct changes than we do.

Sintrosi....Anything substantial coming, any real fixes coming soon? I think a lot of DE's are looking for some real hope, a reason to stick around. I know many people signed up for the 3 month package, that time is running short, I for one want to know if they are going to live up to any promises to fix our classbefore the end of October. Not looking for specifics, but just some general idea if they are really working on DEs and doing it SOON. Thanks for your efforts.

I doubt that there were any "promises" to fix our class by November. Certain devs have already been posting things like "show me where I made any promises", because they know they would be in trouble if they did. I see a future in politics for many at SOE.

I am trying to find that informatino out as we speak. I wrote a rather scathing message on the correspondent board. If I still have my job and theyanswer, I will pass it on to you guys. I am a little pissed off ...

Thank you Sintrosi. I wish I had stayed a CC (Entertainer) I'd like to read that post

I am now more concerned about the lack of support and respect shown to our correspondent. It is obvious that something is terrribly wrong about this particular mechanism. I think we deserve some sortof explanation why our correspondent is being stonewalled or otherwise stymied in the execution of her sanctioned duties. SoE...explain please....(with all due respect, but with a determined expectation for an explanation).

Luckily..our current coorespondent is representing us and is not a goon for the development team. Its not that they are stonewalling her..its that they are stonewalling us!. She is just doing a fine job of being our tank.

And for you too, apparently. To be fair, the dev who posted that was Vass, who has not made promises about game features, and whose job does not involve making decisions about what gets fixed or actually performing the fixes. He was included in a list of people who had made and broken promises, and quite rightly asked what promises the poster was referring to in his case.

I'm upset too at the prospect of another two months without significant adjustments to droid engineering, but we've got enough honest criticisms that, in my opinion, we should avoid reaching for weaker criticisms like this one. It may seem like it improves our case, but it actually does just the opposite, because it makes us seem like we argue in bad faith.

Our case is good enough when we display scrupulous rhetorical honesty, so we probably should.

Let me clarify my point and question better. I want to know if they are going to give us any Real substantive fixes Soon. I and many others want to knowthe answer Before the end of October when our subscriptions expire. There were no promises made to fix anything by a set date, but plenty of verbage thrown around saying yes we know the DE class needs.. (Insert the post of your choice) fixing. So to sum up, is there any real hope to be seen,any real fixes coming soon and will we hear about them before the end of the first 3 month subscription? In other words, give those of us on the 3 month plan a reason to "Re-Up". And to all the jackels out there... NO you can't have my stuff
