An intelligent-thought out post, but nonetheless useless.

Hmmmmm....

I really think they need to perform a major shakedown, not just of their community relations(which my opinion of and dealings with are known to those who count) but of all of their producers, developers and community personnel.

Do I actually see this happening?

Not at all.

The main producers and SOE people do not care enough.

Make me a developer and you'd have an insane game.

Make me a developer and you'd have your first power hungry savagely abusive dev.

More needs to happen. I would never feel comfortable with any of them playing. Granted I don't expect the devs to quit playing the game they create. I expect them to follow their own fucking rules though.

this is interesting.

normally, when someone asks for more dev attention or communication, it is just someone pleading. easy to ignore.

this time, there's a lot of weight on the players' side.

i'd love to see them accept the offer.
honest player-developer communication, and the development of a player-developer community, could drastically improve the quality of the game.

I believe this to be incredibly reasonable. SOE fucking lied to us, and even if it was the lowliest employee, that person is representative of a corporation. Therefore, said corporation is liable. This can all go away with a simple apology, and the exclusive promised to LFG and to this site. Otherwise, enjoy having those of us here with the knowledge COMPLETELY own you.

Even if the meeting was to happen, nothing would come of it, lets compare this situation to say beta testing. Sony asks the top guilds to come and beta test their stuff every expantion. Top end guilds transfer over, with the intent to find broken mechanics and get the game working. We test their content, give them feedback, then they completely ignore said feedback, wait 6 monthes, then either finally change it, or just leave it as is.

Example, VP. We were asked to beta test VP, we did ekron, kluzon druushk and nexona (nexona was pretty fuckin broken in beta). We then reported well, kluzon is ok for the first mob in zone, ekron is broken, and his room has terribel memory leaks ( still nto fixed) Druushk and nexona are both way to easy. All of this was left as is for 6 monthes. CoD, it was originally possible to run into him, and SWIM down into his stomach, then have people safehouse/coth people down into his stomach and rape the adds with half a raid for fluids without even engaging the leviathon, lols! Well this was changed the next day. The fact that we said this is both easier then t2, and that the encounter didnt seem complete (ie tentacles had very little to do with encounter, and all it required was 6 people to kill adds through vials while the rest went afk for 25 minutes) again, 6 monthes later finally changed.

Basically, my point is while you can have a sit down and say hey, this is whats wrong, this is what we expect, this is what YOU shoudl do, they will sit there and agree, nod there heads, the meetign will end and nothing will ever be done. this is the way it has always been, and i dont ever forsee change.
