I dont know Nicoya. I see
I dont know Nicoya. I see that many games have monthly or even weekly updates and im talking about games with good graphics. Sega owns SK so they have staff to do a little more of the game. Im a little dissapointed about the lack of devs activity.
Gm´s used to comment on this forum but now they dont even do it on the general discussion. And when they do the threads are not even about the game itself and theyre about some dum question or a joke.

http://forums.spiralknights.c
http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/37843 This thread has a list of some of the suggestions that have been implemented. Half the nerfs people were complaining about in the latest update came straight from my "bugged monster attack anthology" thread over in the bug reports forum.
The general problem is that when you come up with an idea, it's really easy to get attached to it and think it's the greatest thing in the world, and that the only way someone would not implement it is if they had never heard of it. But the truth is that the devs own the game, it's their baby, and are making it to their vision. Sometimes their plans just aren't compatible with your suggestions and aren't gonna make it in no matter how awesome you think they are.
It doesn't mean they aren't listening, it just means they have other plans.

You think they should
You think they should acknowledge each and every single idea on the suggestions board? There can be dozens of new threads a day, and they get changed and discussed a lot, and often on a daily basis too.
All they'd need to do is miss one thread and suddenly there's an outburst that they're ignoring that one person.
It's far easier to have the players assume they go through eveyrthing (to a reasonable degree) and read up on them, take notes of the better/more realistic ones rather than create false hope or misinterpret their intentions.
The only reason people think they ignore you is because the ideas that are suggested are often simply not feasible, or just aren't high priority enough. This whole attitude gets drastically blown out of proportion when there's a popular/long-term idea (such as the guild halls) that never receives any attention in any obvious manner. But when ideas do actually get implemented, they tend not to get noticed or appreciated much (Nicoya's link~)
Also to note that your thread title won't bring GMs/Devs running to read. It's not that people "only read titles" but when it's something like that, anyone can guess that it's not at all a serious suggestion. Any GM that has/will read this will likely just sigh and click back.

Darkbrady is right. The GMs
Darkbrady is right. The GMs do read our threads (proof of that is Nick's recent update in general discussions), but I believe they don't comment on them because a simple compliment from a GM would probably make the communnity start hoaxes about the implementation of that idea. It must be a "marketing strategy" to give players no clue of what's going on at OOO.
The devs have already stated that some of the GMs read this forum and summarize some of the better suggestions for the devs. There's no need to make posts like these.
