Why do we whinge so much about the game?

Good devs should be able to tell the difference between good and bad feedback and they should be able to stand up to largish groups of whinny players for the good of their game.

First off, just for the fun of it, if you're British or Australian, is that "whingeny" instead of "whinny"? Just want to understand how ya'll speak across the two ponds; obviously not the same as we do here in the Great Republic of Texas...

I have not idea what "whingeny" is.....?

I meant to say whiny though. A "whiny" person is a person who whines (ie. complains.) Just an extra n on my part.

I'm American.

Wasn't directing that at you or criticizing your spelling, either... sorry if you took it that way.

There was an earlier statement that "whinge" is a British/Australian version of our American "whine", with a slightly different meaning. So, tongue-in-cheek, I wondered if they say they have "whingeny" people like we say we have "whiny" people.

No offense taken. I didn't know they spelled it that way.

Maybe ZOS have inner group of trusted players who alfa/beta tested the game and for new ideas they have guild summit - they ask guild leaders for opinion.

But it all can be quite vague as those can be players who can be focused on some aspect of the game only and there is no place to discuss it with the new players with more fresh or more focused view.

If they would divide players into groups like:
1. PvP group - usually players who are competitive or they want to fight for something
2. Fellowship group - mostly dungeons - players who like to coordinate different tactics, who want to search for the best results and players who wants the best loot
3. RPG group - mostly players who like to play or pretend they are somebody, they don't really care about their results
I would also add here players who likes to work on themselves - train skills, getting ranks and so.

If ZOS would ask them separately about the topic they are interested about, it could bring better results. Because if some player is focused/interested in something, he can say what is the best for players like him, he is creative in that area and also he researches his topic through internet, so he knows what was made by other MMOs, so his opinion can be really valuable.

So maybe they could have PvP summit/RPG summit/Fellowship summit, where all the topics could be discussed there and get better results? Also from some video they would made there the new players would know what is like noidea or what could have chance and they could focus more on that then wasting their time for something that will never happen?

And it could help some developers in ZOS that maybe had that idea already to push that through if it would be explained why is it important or some details would be changed so it would fit?

There has been a few threads with a simple question of where can a player find updated builder or skill calculator. You know, something that any other MMO with skill system has.
Do you know what official response to that was? Nothing! Not even a beep.

So, what was the question again ... why don't we whinge more? Beats me.
