Oh, interesting.  Well, I do see a decent amount of forum posts from devs, so at least they're looking sometimes.  :P

so...quite a while ago, I saw a dev chat too where they mentioned they greatly prefer email, so I emailed and asked them point-blank how well they check the forums...this was their response:


--- Quote ---So I can promise that emails get read and answered, but I can't promise the same on the forums.
We do check out the forums from time to time, but not reliably enough and I'm there are some great ideas I'm sure we're missing, overall though it's just not as easy to keep up with.
You can definitely bring any of your ideas directly to us we don't mind getting more mail, plus it's easier of a format for us.
--- End quote ---

pretty much since then, I've been directly emailing them threads of personal interest or threads that get a lot of positive attention in the community.  I have a long list though, and I'm trying to not overwhelm them XD

but yeah, these forums now seem better suited to just put out feelers to see how well-received an idea is by the community, or to see if anyone has any added thoughts for an idea (like the freckles thread).

Hoja Lateralus:
Once I had an idea that someone trustworthy (CA's maybe?) could make weekly forum updates for Devs - they would write what are the interesting ideas discussed recently by community. When I have the time I do something similar on the chat - I look at Feedback and Suggestions and ask about things from there (if I get a response I put it in the thread).

shaelyn:
I try to email them a separate email for each topic or similar topics, though, and that can be a lot of emails each week.

The reason for this, they were saying in one of the more recent dev chats that one of the things they prefer about email is that they can just forward it to the people it pertains to easily.  if you have pilot tools, character customization, and a new map idea as suggestions you want to forward, that probably all gets handled by different people.  ...So I've been rolling under the assumption that they'd prefer to keep an email per suggestion as they come rather than a big list to divvy up among staff once a week.
