MindArk's current priority list
I don't know about you guys. But ever since this AMA started and we keep getting vague answers on improvements that they are considering yada yidi with vague responses.
Like this:
Or this
Armor Lvl requirement example:
At least on this one they say it's not high on the priority list. But just how HIGH is it? That is the question.
I keep getting super annoyed. I completely understand they have learned from their mistakes and not give out particular details on ETA/new features in some instances in order to increase player trust.
BUT it certainly would not decrease player trust, and would be very useful information if they could share what their current priorities are in our game development don't you think?
Therefore I'm suggesting to them that they stop being so purposely vague in this particular topic and list at least top 10 priorities currently in their pipeline, listed from 1 being the most prioritized, in this case it would obviously New camera & control system, to 10 the least prioritized. maybe don't list this new camera & control system since we already know it's a top priority that will be implemented "very soon". That way we get an extra slot .
Examples, it can be very basic, but they can also give out more detail to the best of their ability (this would allow for player feedback/ideas and maximize possible further improvements).
Top 1 - New Camera & Control system
Top 2 - <Auction improvements>
Top 3 - <LA improvements>
Top 4 - <insert system core mechanic or graphical/UI/sound/improvements>
[...]
Top 9 - <you know the drill>
Top 10 - <Voting system>
In my opinion if voting system was on top 1 (It doesn't actually need to be a political system at first, could be an in-game poll option based on ideas in order to get feedback) you guys could then get a proper grasp on the overall picture on what the playerbase actually wants, not just what you believe most of us want, or what some of us who still lurk here want. I did put a good "clickbait" topic title in order to get most amount of views in hopes we get more votes though.
The purpose of knowing their priority list is for us to get a chance to see if it's something we actually think it's worth prioritizing.
We could then make a poll on forum and everyone could vote on each particular priority and see what we want re-prioritized.
So they can actually focus on what we want rather than what they think we want. In my opinion this would greatly improve player trust and the game overall longterm, especially if they listen to our suggestions.
So vote on the poll.
ALL OF YOU WHO WANT TO FIND OUT THEIR PRIORITY LIST OR EVEN IF YOU DON'T!
Made this last part bold and higher text font in order for most ppl to see it in case they don't wanna read this wall of text.

A voting system is something that excites many of us here at MindArk. While it is not among our highest current priorities, it is something that will come in time.
Or this
We are exploring possible solutions for the issue of unclaimed/inactive estates.
While we are not in a position to make any definitive announcements at this time, we are considering quite a few different solutions, some temporary, some permanent.
Armor Lvl requirement example:
Yes we do plan to implement this feature soon ®.
At least on this one they say it's not high on the priority list. But just how HIGH is it? That is the question.
We have considered a system to facilitate bulk transfer of skills in the past, but this is not something that is high on our current priority list.
