Agreed, having to buy a game, and then a subscription on top of that is a pretty big risk without a trialSabrestar said:If they're listening and adding features based on what people want, then I want a free trial before they can even think about getting any money from me.
In the few weeks I've been playing since release, I've seen more Sith-puns in guild names then I ever saw puns.messy said:I can't be the only one who noticed the Guild in question was called "sith happens"?
The stupidest comment I keep hearing. Asking the fans what they want in the game does not bloody equal catering to the whim of every freaking one of them.Soviet Heavy said:If Bioware has taught me anything through their social forums, it is that asking the fans what they want in the game is the absolute worst thing you could possible do.
Yeah, guess what though, their own ideas can go tits up too. Bottom line is, there's guys there that say "yeah this makes sense", whether the idea came from the community or a bunch of developers, it doesn't make a damn difference, it still needs to get approved by the actual developers themselves, so the origin of the idea is irrelevant, the good judgement of the developers is what makes or breaks a game.animehermit said:In their defense, this is exactly what Blizzard did and it caused Cataclysm.Vrach said:The stupidest comment I keep hearing.

On the other hand, hearing a large number of people asking for a sensible feature and acting on it, that's actually good practice.
Although I do agree with you, listening to the sensible things the community wants is a good thing, and it's something Bioware has been very good at since the beta. People complained about the speeders when they first announced them, so they added a bunch more models in. People were worried that their companions would all look a like, so they added customization kits.
In blizzard's defense, the Pandarean were brought into WC3 as a fan service after one of their april fool's jokes.zdog jr said:Well I'm just happy they didn't announce pandas.
Deliberately so. If they don't promise anything, then they are not obliged to get it out of the door - I work in a software company and it's far better to give out the basics, than give out details. The basics satisfy the community that something is being done, but doesn't make your workload excessively large if things take longer than estimated.2xDouble said:"Change what it looks like" wasn't too specific...
