Q u o t e:
"Why won't you fix X if you keep talking about it?"
"Because we're not sure on the proper way to fix it yet.."
"Why won't you talk about imbalance Y? You haven't posted about it \ haven't posted about it in the past Z amount of time!"
"Because we're not sure on the proper way to fix it, as per above, and we've found that players will jump on any statement as an authoritative, final view on the matter."
"Why not announce what changes you have planned?"
"Because then the community takes potential changes as ironclad promises, and also tends to view them as the only potential changes rather than a potentially partial list. We've found it's better not to try to post previews if we don't have something really solid in mind."
"Why even post at all?"
"Because it encourages more mature discussion in general, and we do like some of the conversations players have."'
