Q u o t e:
Hetic... it's the weekend. The developers aren't here. I am, because my job revolves around the community and the forum, and Saturday's a busy day. While I would love to call a meeting this very instant, I don't think they would pick up the phone, heh.

Be advised that I DO take your concerns to the developers. In the meeting, I'd say a good third of the time was spent talking about DPS (keep in mind the meeting happened after this patch was finalized). I related the community's concerns on the subject. I am doing all I can for you, but you folks do need to understand... just because I bring your concerns to the developers does not mean that particular issue will absolutely be changed to fit what you desire.

You may think this a deficiency on my part, and I suppose I can't really prove that without taping the meetings (which I will not be doing, sorry). I am decent when it comes to debating, and I present your concerns in an assertive manner that, at the same time, is worded in a way to be more sympathetic to the developer's position so they can understand where you're coming from. I help them understand your position and your concerns on the class. That is my duty as your advocate. If this enacts change, all the better, but it isn't a requirement.

Q u o t e:
They do read the forums, yes.

I suppose I should explain "finalized" in that sense.

The developers are always working on content. When a patch approaches, there is a cut-off point -- once it's reached, no more content/changes go into the patch. The time is then spent testing it internally. It was at that stage -- when the content was already finalized -- that I had the meeting.
