customer satisfaction poll

[Dano]

I don't need regular updates, doesn't stop me wanting them though

[David Hayward]

I was not aware that poll results were binding on the devs.

The poll might as well say "Would you like one million dollars?". Everyone pretty much wants everything they can get. Does everyone need a million dollars? No.

What if they gave you a million dollars, one penny a week. Not much use, is it? That is what you are asking for. You want your million dollars at one penny a week.

What do you want the devs to update you on regularly? "We changed variable xyz to zyx today." A total waste of time.

Software development takes time, and squashing bugs can take even longer. When they have something worth updating the community on, I'm sure they will inform everyone.

It's funny how the ideas that you and David have in your mind of what we want (which you have the presumption to think is actually what we want) is on a very unreasonable level.

What you don't seem to think of is that if anything, an update every fortnight, with the news being given in an intelligent and pro-active manner, will actually help develop more sympathy and support even among the newcomers, don't you think? Everyone's morale is boosted, everybody wins!

Amazing. One post and you already know what I think and yet somehow manage to miss the entire point of my post.

So what is it that "we" actually want that I don't seem to understand? It seems to me that you want regular updates. Is this not so?

I'm not sure where you get that I believe your request is "unreasonable". I've stated that I believe weekly updates are pointless when there is nothing to update. Luthier just gave such an update and much of the community found it either pointless or insulting. Are you asking for more of the same?
