Ariana's a simple troll whose voice shouldn't be taken seriously.

I imagine if I took the post seriously, my response would have been longer

It's an old union saying: "Sorry its not in my job description."

 

Its a reasonable assumption to make that any interaction with the community by a developer outside certain settings, mostly relating to promotions, would be done on their own time, taking time away from their families and personal recreational interests. Time is money I suppose and if it isn't then 'its my time'. 

 

edit: I should probably complete that thought. The fact that interaction with the community by developers is likely going to be on their personal time is going to weight on their perception of whether the forums are considered to be toxic or otherwise not inviting to them. At least since DA2 the forums have been at times quite unpleasant even for someone w/o a stake in the games. Its often just a matter of tone, in the way critics express themselves. Just enough I think to make devs think "You know what? I have a sink to unclog."

 

 

Maybe the community could create a slush fund to pay devs to interact with the BSN. $10 (cdn) word?

True enough, but I have no life ATM other than DA, so it gets hard to comprehend the mindset of DA devs who do have lives. Plus I only just got into DAI (and DA itself again) recently, so it's not like I know what it's been like on the forum the last 1.5 yrs. I missed my chance to bother them, maybe get a funny reaction out of them, while they were here more often.

 

EDIT:

Still... I find it hard to believe that I would be unable to pipe up on the forum wherever I saw someone appreciating the content I'd created, particularly if I was quite proud of it.

I think the Devs have moved over to Reddit and 4Chan for more level headed discussions

Tone wise, I don't think there has been that much change. 

 

You're wrong, the forums were hellishly toxic in general around the time of DA2 then ME3. Now its just an isolated poster here and there.

You're probably right along with the others.  I was thinking of the PC complaints thread for DAI.

 

You know though, the two of us we could change that.

 

YOU ARE TOTALLY WRONG AND YOU KNOW  SOMETHING ELSE? SO WAS YOUR MOTHER!
