Could we get a very visible icon next to every thread which contains a response from the devs and/or the community manager?

It would be very useful in the Feature Suggestions forum, but also useful in many other parts of the forum.

They'll never do it because then it'll become too obvious just how little attention they pay to their own official forum.
Not saying its a bad idea tho.

Good idea Alistair. Let's hope Phoenix is wrong about this one.
So many good ideas that could have been saved from being buried if we had that icon.

Yeah, that.

I've been trolling around the forums for a couple weeks now, and I haven't seen a single dev response to anything. Even to their own threads that are weeks or months old...

From what I understand, if you want anyone pay attention to anything you say, you have to tweet Russ directly. That's the feedback they actually look at.

Yup it's either that or during those town hall meetings where it's possible to ask some questions but they avoid a lot of stuff.
But then again i've seen much worse behavior from developers in other games....a lot worse.

But the Feature Suggestions part of the forums could have incredible benefits from having some of the dev's attention at least.
Whenever i make a new topic about anything here i get the feeling they NEVER read it.
I've made more than my fair share of topics here but not a single response from the dev's whether positive or negative. Nothing.

As an experiment, I'll just wait and see if this thread gets a dev response...

I would love to see that as well, but I don't think they will ever do it, also I don't see them paying any attention to these forums for a few reasons.

one of them could be that they want to be able to ignore any question or comments directed towards them and they can pretend that they never knew about them.

Well first of all I have to say - I'm pretty sure some CM read the feature request swamp. But to be fair the number of requests is by no mean an indicator for their quality.

There was a reason we had those Polls before YES NO ABSTAIN, not those biased polls I've seen since them.

A clear structure (current, change, result) and even when its hard a TLDR would also help.

So Allistair don't you want to change this "complaint" into a "feature request" - propose a form and maybe a "forum" handling of a feature request (Topic is hot and poll is used frequent) - a CM might place a note that he will forward it to the Dev team and hopefully get an answer.

*hmm, must not post something derisive.*

HEY! maybe we already have that but how would we know!
