ZOS Devs never discuss popular issues and ideas on the forums. It's kind of negative experience when there are a myriad of issues that could be addressed, I'm not saying they need to agree with the player. But even stating why they disagree or sharing their stance backed by facts/experience will, I think, help the community. Rather then have an automated reply for only removing comments. Bigger corporations/games do this better, Riot devs regularly reply on forums. FFXIV devs listen to player wants and needs. Many other devs will even allow us in on seeing why they make certain changes and why they don't, they offer data. This is why boards are full of player issues and anger. Because they remain unaddressed for years.
For example, the popular topic as of late due to the laughable bosses in Blackwood, is harder story/overland content. If ZoS commented on such situations even if its disagreement backed by data and player testing, I'm certain many would understand. This is what happens for example with League of Legends, many threads are made about champion balance and often Devs would reply as to why they don't agree with such philosophy or if they're even looking into it. Here at ESO there radio silence, up until a new chapter is introduced. Thats the only brief period we have of communication with ZoS and even then it's cherrypicked questions. Not hot button issues that many players would appreciate being addressed. As a player, this makes the community feel not as united as it could be. Even WoW devs, despite there being a insane amount of hate posts lately ( i don't and never played wow but i check out the forums for the heck of it) still reply. I genuinely think ZoS needs to strive better on how they communicate with us instead of treating us like disposable income.
