I want the devs to rely upon the players to give them feedback to determine if their intent is working as intended, or not.
Trees are supposed to grow back once per game year. Deal with it.
Combat is always going to suck. Deal with it.
Resources can be destroyed. Deal with it.
Here is how territorial warfare will work. You're welcome to discuss it. But this is how its going to work. Deal.
See, i think a huge issue for a large portion of the player base (and yes we've been over this a ton already) is i read the game description, i read the faq, i read the dev posts, and my brain understands those things to mean X. Jadzia reads them and understands them to mean Q. Resulting frustration ensues as X<>Q and no one steps in to stop the madness.
the original game design is incredible. it has the ability to appeal to players across genres, and if done right, retain them for long periods of time. Build the game, engage the community, let the community help bring your vision to life...don't let the community determine your vision, because while we're well intentioned, we're nuts.
