OP has a great point, but so does Kallenthen, however what you are missing out Kallenthen, is that they SHUOLD be also reading and checking the suggestion threads too.
I've been wanting hideout rooms, Medkits as powers, and a Mind Control power, for years on end, yet they rather ignore us then, try and do it.
But yes OP, they are doing a good job, right now as it is, so lay back a bit too
It's not the dev's job to read through forum posts. That's what a CM is for... that thing we haven't had for a long time. I would rather devs actually develop rather than spending all that time combing through the forums. It's basically two full-time jobs to develop and read through all the forum posts.
The devs should not be checking the suggestion threads. Cryptic should hire a CM for that.
Well I do know this. A lot of suggestions made for the Onslaught event were listened to. And changes were implemented that were directly from player suggestions. Let's remember this is a new team. It may take them a while to ramp up. But it looks like they are dedicated to reviving this game. Let's support them and not blame them for stuff other people did in the past.
Do use the new threads that were set up for suggestions and QoL improvements. It was done to make it easier for devs to hear from us.
And dangit yes.. a full time CM is needed. But Lady Gadfly is doing a really excellent job. As she's keeping track of feedback from multiple games. I'd go nuts in her shoes.
A suggestion not being used doesn't necessarily mean it was bad. It could also mean that the suggestion wouldn't work with in the game or would be too difficult to implement at this time. Or perhaps the idea is good they just need to wait for the right time to implement it.
That being said, just because they aren't commenting on a suggestion doesn't mean it wasn't read and isn't being discussed internally.

Or just didn't catch anyone's interest. There are way more suggestions made than are practical to implement, so a lot of them are just going to disappear.
But most of the time unfortunately, I feel like the suggestion section of the forums is where ideas go to die

Not all suggestions are good suggestions.
If they didn't use your suggestion, that means it was a bad one.
Live with it.
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
