Discuss large scale changes first

This is not a democracy

I'm against this. Whenever discussions occurr there's a clear bias in favor both of older and of the most vocal ragers and neither group represents the entire community, or even the majority.

Ideally, there should be in-game polls on the main screen to check the community's opinion on certain things, and we should receive a warning before major updates are pushed, but I have no faith that a public discussion can be productive here.

Polls would just be ruined because of people having multiple accounts. I think the only benefit public discussion would have is to help hash out a feature to improve it and balance it.

Sure, but it would also reach people who don't post on the forum, especially new players with their different needs, and also allow players with poor English to give their opinion since contributing to polls is simpler than reading and posting texts on the forum, so I think it would be positive in the end.

I think polls are a bad idea in-game and on the forum, too many people have countless alt accounts and yes I understand the need for new players to share their opinion too but I can already imagine some dudes logging all of their alts to skew the results.

I don't want to dismiss the idea offhand, but if every issue has to be brought before a grand conclave before we can implement it, a lot less will be accomplished.

I dont think its necessary if you are just adding new type of berry.
But if you do major change like completely removing all stats from all equipment...
And if you want to remove gilding thing people will lose stuff used to gild stuff and they will be angry again..

Problem isn't that you added new stuff, the problem is that you drastically changed you existing stuff worked.

Who cares?

Good point

LadyGoo I'm interested to hear what you think of this system or whether or not they should have implemented it in a new world rather than now.
