That sounds classic to me! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

100%, that's how it was with the Verant devs [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] But at the same time, the Verant devs didn't have a bunch of players volunteering to do research on how the Verant devs should write their code either.

Again, NOT saying the devs owe it to us or anything, I'm just saying I think there would be significantly less surprised/negative responses after EVERY decision, if there was a clear criteria.

And I also don't see how it could be bad for the project to have some kind of explicit guiding principles. Again I'm not talking about an explanation of every decision, or a super detailed list that players could use to argue with them ("you didn't fulfill criteria 15.B sub-point 12!").

I'm just suggesting that a paragraph or two somewhere saying "thing X trumps thing Y for us, but thing Y trumps thing Z, and if neither X or Y apply we consider A, B, and C and do out best to get the most of all three" it would probably get a lot of people on the same page with them.
