[hide= A bunch of really longs quotes] I hope these new development diaries help more players understand how difficult it is to implement an update into the game. I am pleased they released these, it will be fun to read them. :D Very true, especially when you look at the barbaric rants acusing Jagex of all sorts of things. This disproves a bunch of theories/myths: - Jagex neglects rangers This dark bow has been in the making since last year so clearly they don't neglect them. - Jagex doesn't care about higher lvls Mentioned a bunch of times how hard it is to get the perfect balance for higher levels. Then there's the time it takes as well which proves they do care about higher lvls but haven't displayed the fruits of their labor yet - Jagex doesn't test their updates (or various accusations about how they don't think before they update) They've got a special team that does that for weeks - Jagex doesn't listen to player's suggestions Clearly they take some consideration but it's important to notice how long it takes for them to make the update. So, given the time frame, even the good ideas can take a long time to get implemented. [/hide] About Jagex not taking suggestions from the forums, this one really kills it seeing as this idea came from the forums. A few months ago (I can't remember what thread or when); Mod Paul posted on a topic that was bashing Jagex. One of the earlier posters said that Jagex didn't take enough time on updates blah blah blah. Mod Paul said that updates take months and that he would consider getting the knowledge base department working on something that would show how long an update takes. Before that, I also saw another post by Mod Paul. A thread in the "rants" area was mad at Jagex because the shortcut key obatainedd from "Darkness of Hallowvale" didn't fit on a key ring. Mod Paul posted and said that it should and that he would get somebody working ot that. Months later, and update footnote mentioned that the key could now go on the keyring.
