My serious suggestion : Close Suggestions forum

Hello,

Why? Because:

1. Devs have no longer time to read any suggestion.
2. Even if they did, your suggestion is probably bad.
3. Your suggestion could be good but it's.. it' bad! Bad suggestion. Because you don't know what are GGG plans in game design ( your suggestion may already be planned or might become very bad in consequence of balance changes coming next patch(s) or in consequence of the changes occuring when a new thing will be implemented next expansion.)

The only time when a suggestion was heard is when Chris asks for it:
Introduction of ways allowing you to use an orb/scroll without repeating click-use cycle.
Changes in act 3 merciless areas levels.
polls.

Other than that, quote me a single suggestion made in suggestion forum that has been used by GGG.

lmfao this suggestion won't be taken seriously either. they will never close the suggestion forum. are you trying to create some kind of paradox? this kind of tickles my mind xD
Suggestions forum allows for the illusion of possibly being read and having chances to see changes in the games. There would be no benefit for them to remove it.

Yes.
Developer team is really out of time and already has a LOT of work in its schedule that is known it needs to be done, and has absolutely no time to search for new ideas and make them.
Something needs to be done with this...

The situation can be summed up by this "suggestions forum effectiveness equation":
X-Number of good ideas per day: 5
Y-Number of bad ideas per day: 20
Z-A developer's capacity of reading Z posts/day : 2
G-The GGG Constant(a GGG developer can work G times as much as a normal human) : 2
F-OTM MULTIPLER (Overwhelmness & Timeshortage of GGG)(0=Already full of work for the next 1year 1=Ready to do new tasks) : 0.3
N-Number of developers : 30
P-Percentage of forum visitors who also visit suggestions section : 0.1
E-Effectiveness : 0-100
The Equation : E=[X/(X+Y)]*Z*N*(G/F)+P*10= 8.2= 8,2% - So not so good:(

random thougts, for those who have a sea of freetime
Spoiler

If it were guaranteed that only good ideas&suggestions were here, developers would watch this more I'm sure. Now it is all random, ppl bump their own posts, bad ideas get a lot of replyies like "no way" but it still bumps them... Vote system would also be fail because very few ppl checks these posts..

By the way if I were a developer, in my freetime i'm sure I would check the suggestions forum sometime. So there are 30 developers , i think all of the suggestion have been watched at least one of them. But also if I were a developer and I found a suggestion good, I at least would leave a reply like " not bad idea ".

It is also bad somehow that few people check the suggestions forum. Like 90% checks general forum's "attention whore" posts, and in this suggestion forum "graveyard" some posts get only 10 view and goes down on the list to disappear.

At the time when GGG didn't have an army of forum moderators I posted this idea on trading, and as I heard they used some of it: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/415439/page/1 so it wasnt totally in vain:P

New twist:
A suggestion either did not get Chris attention only. Or did not get GGG attention at all, or something else:

From a sumarry of last Chris Wilson podcast:
"
Hegemony asks for an alternate color X for the group leader because it's difficult in maps to know who is leading. Chris states they have not heard this suggestion but will bring it up with the team.

noticed too:) when chris told where he's active on the poe site, he mentioned like patch notes posts, general chat, reddit ,etcetc, but not suggestion forum:P Well ok he's a busy businessman, but at least some other developers could read this forum and send further the best suggestions.. instead close this, there's already 1000000000000000 unread suggestions

Other than that, quote me a single suggestion made in suggestion forum that has been used by GGG.


Something I know I suggested, and was probably suggested by others, that was implemented in the game:
Removing nametags from dropped loot in Allocated (non-ffa) loot options.

Next?
