The issue isn't the dev. team it is building a consensus among players that really do not want to compromise their position.

Yeap.

Players will hold on to their point of view. Changing it is hard. Coming to a compromise is even harder.

Lol, why are we defending CJ or the dev team? Both are jokes at this point. CJ doesn't even exist and the dev team threw out the anchor weeks ago. While Grim is a habitual complainer, his points are valid.

Providing a real analysis of the issue is not defending anyone. It is the inherent issue when people of different opinions and playing styles try to work together to develop a game. Group think would make things move easier, but it would be a one track system and would be biased. Just the reality of the issue. A diverse group that has a relatively open development map is not going to simply come together and come up with simple solutions.

I'm not saying that in theory the dev team is bad. I have no interest in being invested in developing ideas when we have an absentee developer. If we were creating ideas and every couple months things were hitting the game, my interest level would be 100% higher

Fair. It is hard to be motivated to move forward when work that we have done has not progressed beyond us.

The development team was doing a very good job of weeding through the thousands of suggestions and discarding some worthless ones. One of the problems is if the whole battle system changes lots of suggestions are going to be moot. On many there was no final decision reached like pirate ship for instance as once again a major development will make many suggestions redundant or non-applicable

Goodbye Grim. I always respected your enthusiasm. Sorry for being a bully at times. Your opinions are spot on and of course, way off.
Cheers Mate

Grim. Give up your life as a trader and join us pirates. Drop your fleet number to 10 or less and leave all those headaches in the past. Don't leave until you give piracy a chance. Maybe after some time the dev team will have some satisfactory changes done for you. Then you can rebuild your dynasty.
