Thanks for posting this Merl (stealing muh comment karma wat 2 heck u fuzzy bunny 1v1 me)
The point of that post wasn't to tell reloaded "anything that comes up on the forums should be instantly accepted". Clearly that's a stupid idea as we used to get noobs fairly often complaining about the scout - see the hawken drinking game - and if all their ideas were accepted then the game would be run into the ground.
What I'm saying is that there are many, many things that are known as cheese items (scanner) a bit OP, (tech+incin combo) and seen as just bad ideas in the first place (dual seeker A class). These have been bumping around the forums for years, and all the devs have done so far is do things that seem to come completely out of left field, and just keep juking us with the whole "soon lol" attitude.
The community knows how the game plays a hell of a lot better than the devs do - fact. We've just been here longer.
At the end of the day they own the game we're playing and they have all the rights to do whatever they want with it.
But at this stage, the devs are inexperienced with how the game plays, but have access to the development of said game.
We have the knowledge.
What I'm suggesting is that we compensate for each other's weaknesses. The devs take our good, long standing, several years in the making advice and combine it with their development abilities to make the game the best it can be.
We get a wonderful game that might just stand the test of time against all the P2W F2P shooters in the market, and maybe even more than that. The devs get a community that is pleased and is willing to help them at every turn, and probably quite a bit of cash too, if they get it right.
But hell, what do I know. I'm just some stranger on the internet.
I just want what's best for this game. We all do.
