Nobody expects "yeah we are just going to fix all the forum shit overnight" while they are in active development. If ONE official acknowledgement of the existence of a very large number of player concerns is too much to ask in a month of playtesting, why did they bother with EA?
People will get pissed off leaving feedback if Larian don't acknowledge they are reading it. Even if the response is "we don't give a shit we have your money" at least gives the player some perspective. "We are busy doing other shit please be patient", "We took a months vacation because be broke sales records", "We all come down with HEP C after going on a crystal meth binge and freebasing crack". Whatever, any response is better than silence.
I dont think so, my overall experience i the internet is, that there are indeed a lot of people who expecting exactly this "yeah, we re just going to fix ll the forum shit overnight".
I trust Larian and im confident they are listening but i can understand that some people doubt that. However you have to agree that any official acknowledgement in terms like "we are listening" would be misinterpretated as "yes, we fix everything you want in one week" by a lot of people and lead to even higher expectations like everyone wants his cherrypicked issues. Its just the way how the internet works, even if we are all full adults, an anonym online forum turns us into childish brats- well at least a lot of people.
Larian proved that they deliver more than they promised, and that they care about the fans (remember the free gift bags for DOS II?) and they are more transparent than any other company of that size known to me, just be patient.
EA has just been around for like a month which is literally nothing.
