or working on epics.
See that's the real secret ... I'm ON vacation and it's -20C outside with snow up to my knees, so I'm hiding in the warmth reading the forums. Everybody else is probably hard at work making content that they wouldn't have time to do if they were reading the forums!
Seriously, it takes a LOT of time filtering through all the posts. And I just have two forums I follow closely, most devs aren't as compartmentalized as me with tradeskills and their work touches a lot more areas, so it's just not feasable for them to post as much as me, nor to keep centralized updates like tradeskills can. It's an unfair comparison to contrast other development areas to tradeskills, which as we know are an odd beast unto themselves. I post too much, in fact. And I will be posting less when I'm back home from holiday and working as hard as Morticus and the others are at the moment! (Interesting older perspective from Gallenite
here by the way - particularly relevant are points 6, 12, 13).
Grimwell, Gnobrin, and our wonderful community folks are great at ensuring that your concerns reach the right developers even if they're buried under epics and too busy to see it themselves; and also at ensuring we're communicating what we need to communicate to everyone. Some certain halflings tend to ramble on more than they should, but not everybody works in the same way, and not everybody is necessarily as free to talk about whatever they're working on either. If you feel there's something absolutely critical that's being ignored, don't say nasty things about the developers, or nice things about me, just ensure that Gnobrin is aware of the concern, and maybe consider it's a possibility that the lack of response is because the people concerned are too busy fixing it to post.
