"Mythic hopes their forums will be a place where they can hear the players' voices easily and clearly and the players can hear what the devs are saying and planning without having to scour the Web."

Ah yes, this would be why they locked the WE forum (and left all the others open) during the beta test of 1.2, even though it wasn't heated, because the WE players were submitting data that showed their changes were wrong, and that Developer discussing them with them, had no idea what skills that WE characters actually had.

They aren't interested in hearing what the players have to say at all.
