This developer, lead designer or whatever just had himself a little raid in a couple of the various forums asking about different issues as if he'd not ever even heard about the top5sby Thunderhearth and etc... what's up?

I'm just asking because I thought of it as rather disturbing, and also i didn't like us not being included once again.

Yeah, it makes it seem like there is some communication problems going on...this is whatRunesabre had to say for what he was doing:

"Thunderheart is gathering up Top 5 issues from all of the classes to assist me in scheduling fixes for the most critical Top 5 issues across all of the professions. These Top 5 Issues lists are very brief, bullet point listings of the issues affecting the professions. What these Top 5 Issues lists do not give me is a sense of current state of the professions and what the player's expectations are and how they see their profession fitting in the Star Wars Galaxies universe from a play style design point of view.

My time spent today is not to find out what's wrong with professions; I already know what's wrong thanks to Thunderheart's work with all of the correspondents. My time today has been spent starting to get to know each profession from a player's perspective beyond the Top 5 Issues including what they like about their profession and what's good about their profession as much as what they don't like and what's wrong about their profession."

What does this mean is happening? Got me.

Actually, I'm a little afraid of him reading an email from you.

I vote you and your other accounts, MarshallCreed, etc. as the most negative poster on this board. It used to be ArkMindSpear, but some of your posts last week really put yourself in first place for that honor.

No there was someone else, whos name I can't remember, whos every post was 'we suck, fix us'.

Can't think of his name.

to clear up the confusion Runsabre= da man. From what I gathered he is the lead designer (not system specific, but overall) for SW:G. The copied text above would even indicate that. Whereas TH was working on identifying, bulleting, and bringing it to the devs. Runesaber's job is to get it scheduled and done. Reading around in some of the other boards, he is making those posts because although he has the "what" from TH, he's trying to get a gauge as to how important each of the items is in the perspective of the players of those professions, and how it fits in with everything else. For example, if your top 5 was Accuracy, H/A/M, speed, defenses, variety... how important is Accuracy? If I can get you accuracy out quickly, will that calm the need for the others for a month, or are the accuracy AND H/A/M about the same level of concern, etc.
