Thanks for the response.
I guess my gripe with topics like the Wintertodt "issue" specifically, and other frequently commented on topics, is that if the Q&A is not a vehicle for actually getting these changes done, what is?
We get years of the devs saying that something should be done, and that they want to do that thing, and it's asked constantly by the community, yet that doesn't seem to be enough to get any plans in motion. Does this dynamic just go on forever? Are we going to be here 5 years later still hearing the same response?
I like watching the Q&A's sometimes, but they don't feel like they're driving the direction of the game like Jagex presents them to be doing. Personally, I prefer the more specialised Q&A's like you mentioned with the Guardians of the Rift one, as they feel like the feedback is actually having an effect on the game. I appreciate that not all devs can comment on certain topics though.
I just think it'd be better for ever...
