That one's an angry bob.

:p

The extremely active forumgoers are pretty scummy.

usually, if multiple people are suggesting the same idea, it suggests that it might be something a certain part of the community would actually enjoy seeing implemented. that said, the idea may also be "game breaking" in certain regards, or perhaps it just lacks finesse, but if thats the case, the idea could easily be tweaked, or perhaps someone who cares could actually explain how the idea doesn't fit the narrative or is not balanced in it's own regards, etc, to put the thread to rest without stunting actual progressive ideas that could enhance the game experience.

in the act that multiple threads, as Metrulizer stated, are started based on explaining the same idea, it would be best for a someone to link the proper, pre-existing post concerning that same idea, if they do not wish to repeat themselves.

I for one, enjoy hearing new ideas, though I will say some of them are without merit, many of them have logic and reason behind them, and I will agree with the OP, OOO is always looking for new ideas and feed back, they aren't stupid. they don't need self proclaimed experts on game design to tell other members of the community that their ideas are dumb and flawed, as if they are attempting to shut out all future idea threads with fear mongering.

if OOO sees something that looks desired by the community, it's there job as game designers to MAKE IT WORK, not tear it down and tell their consumers "hey, we want good ideas, not a load of verbal vomit on how cool it would be if we added a new boss/weapon!" as much of the community on here seems to enjoy doing. now if an idea is SO BAD, that it needs to be stopped at the source, then explain why it doesn't work for the games interest in the OP thread, rather then making them upset by just saying "no" as a single word answer in your post. single word posts like "no" are totally useless in an idea discussion thread, and make you come off as a close minded fool that can't contribute towards any progressive idea.

If you don't have time to explain why you don't agree, then don't post anything, or link a topic that explains a similar idea, and let OOO decide how to handle ideas like that. if it's really bad, they'll just look away. no harm done.

"I for one, enjoy hearing new ideas"

I agree with you - new ideas are those things I enjoy very much. BUT, that said, PETS, TWO-HANDED WEAPONS or DUAL WIELDING are not new ideas - they are present in almost all MMORPG clones on the market. Actually I don't think that PETS, TWO-HANDED WEAPONS or DUAL WIELDING are bad ideas, and I'm sure that with a bit of effort and adjustments they may be implemented to SK with no big harm for game balance or story. But what for? To make SK less original? Do we really want all MMORPG to provide exactly the same gaming experience? I value diversity and that's why I'm rather sceptical to any ideas like "game X, Y and Z all have it, we want it in SK".

I don't think that idea would work really. Unless you mean a half-charge will toss your bomb, you'd need to come up with another way to access that ability, and in any case, haze bombs would be overshadowed by vials (not counting repetitive use), and blast-types would be easily outclassed by the Pulsar line.

It's open for discussion, I just think it would be slightly improbable.

Don't take my opinion too heavily, I'm not a bomber, so leave it to a bomber to discuss it properly. There will be some bomb-related stuff I am not aware of.

As for the rest of the thread, Ideas are 'shot down', because the posters:
-Don't bother using the search bar to look up a thread that has been in existence for millennia.

-Adding to that, post an idea we just finished shooting down.

-Ask for something completely stupid with little/no punctuation/grammar/spelling so they sound like 7 year olds i.e. I wan 2 driv a truck in th cw an run stuff ovr i tink thtd b totaly awsom i mean wuldnt u want 2 driv ova stuf in a hug truk lik that?

-They insist their idea is a good one, despite it having being discussed civilly already and had it explained to them WHY their idea would not work/is not wanted, leaving us raging over their inability to just accept the facts. (One dude even tried to claim credit for his idea being the basis for the Wing accessories and claimed to have been recognized by OOO for his efforts.)

-They act all snobbish and rude, like the guy who told us he could care less about what we say because he was quote: "Bored out of his FRIKKIN MIND" when he wrote the idea. (he sent me a friend request after I told him I'd ignore him completely.) One guy tried to copyright his idea and said OOO was not allowed to use his idea without his prior consent, then later said that OOO would have to give him some sort of payment for using his intellectual property if they did, then told us he didn't care what we said because he only values OOO opinion. The idea wasn't a particularly bad one, but only one person responded to him seriously after that, outlining why the idea was bad and he still didn't care.
