[...] We even don't know if anything is read... We just had a vague "yes someone is reading" one time.
I hear ya. I'd love more tidbits too from a public front. I've mentioned it on the forums once or twice before, that it's definitely being read, listened to and scribbled down, because I've involved myself in that and cooperate with some people in forwarding feedback. I doubt my word on that matters much, but if you take my word for it, I can tell you it's read by more people than me. I'm not using that as an argument or defense for the lack of communication that you wish would be different. Just wish to hopefully lift your spirits however much I can in that I dread even imagining the job of the people that has to read all the hundred of pages that's been pushed since October.
It'd be cool to hear more about the design decisions and directions that are set in stone, but I imagine that'd have to be on a rather high-level tone, because it's thousands of paragraphs worth of unique feedback collected, so addressing every one of them would be... Unrealistic I think.
The TL;DR I believe I take from it is that the listening is happening, that's something I can put the worth of my word on, the dissatisfaction for communicating how that data is processed, or what solution might be best for it isn't something I'm prepared to speculate on. I'd have many thoughts on pros and cons in regards to it, and challenges surrounding it, but that wouldn't matter in the end of the day.

At the moment we just know nothing. We're all waiting for monthes going in circles.
Absolutely. I've moaned about it myself, wanting more focus on discussing EA related feedback in community updates, My fingers remain crossed.

these are all in response to actual players asking questions. it's not just PR talk either, you can tel they actually read the posts. They don't answer every post, or even post every day, but having some contact at all would help immensely in my opinion.
Yes please! Am I right to assume that's a fair example of how people would generally want more of from Larian? I mean, the type of responses. I'm not asking you specifically, Bobla, I already assume that's the case. But I'd love to get a verification from others, just so I can build a case and point to it for reference.
