Developer accounts
Are the developer accounts public on SWGOH.GG since they claim to play this game I feel like there accounts should be public knowledge.

If they actually played they would maybe understand the needs of the game from out perspective
If they signed up for the website and you know their ID/name then yes they are "public". For example, a pretty quick google search would find you Kyno's account (not a dev, but still)
If it makes you feel better you can just assume they're lying and they're not actually playing their own game. Or are you one of those people that thinks they'll drastically change their approach if only they would play their own game?
Well actually, do I need to go work for CG to understand their perspective? No I don't. I'll give you two examples.
1) I know that they need to make money because they're not just a business but part of a much larger corporation.
2) I know that if they gave the players everything they wanted the game would actually die.
Such a good mom, believing everything your kids tell you!
Well yeah, you've kinda made both my points with your responses.
1. If they weren't making money you better believe they'd change what they were doing.
2. People definitely don't know what they want, because people are different and all want different things and the devs cannot simply do whatever the loudest people want because that's a great way to lose money.
I have no reason to believe they're not playing the game.
And even if they don't, i don't believe they would change the game if they started playing the game after 4 years.
Having public accounts that they play on serves no purpose whatsoever imo. Lets also not pretent it's not going to cause problems having public dev accounts playing vs regular players.
So yea, other than the "you don't even play your own game" narrative being spewed once again, it's a pointless request imo.
You said they should, which I don’t agree with. I think if they want to they can, and since they haven’t chosen to that probably means they don’t want to, and there is no basis to criticize them for that by saying they should.
You expect the devs to personally respond to your request to explain why thy aren’t doing some random thing you happen to want and you’re accusing *other* people of having a spoiled attitude???
Obviously you disagree since you're the one saying they should have public accounts, haha.
I'm curious though, do you honestly think this game is this successfull without the devs even playing their own game? I mean, seriously?
It also seems rather obvious that you're just looking for a stick to beat cg with, which coincedentilly is one of the problems with them having public accounts. It just opens them up to all sorts of critique and for what? so you (and others) have proof they do actually play their own game?
Not mention players losing GAC or TW vs dev accounts or players with dev accounts, surely you can see how that could be a problem. It doesn't even matter if they share info with their guilds, ohters are going to accuse them of it regardless.
Also, why would money become less important than the playing experience if they do actually play their own game?
And lastly, i do hope you do your job with the same amount of passion you seemingly expect the devs to do their jobs with and that you don't put a lot of importance on making money.
I mentioned that it would open them up to all sorts of critique, not you. So what are you even talking about? I even eleborated on that point after you said i didn't mention any of the problems it could cause... Never heard of it. Feel free to enlighten me. The difference is in the way players react because when players know they're playing a dev some of them will feel like they're at an unfair (percieved) disadvantage. That's same grade A logic right there. When money becomes more important than the experience, they'll make less money.
I don't seem to realize a lot of things according to you, but what is it about then? Why should dev acounts be public?
Every part of this post is ridiculous.
experience*
evidence*
But hey, atleast you know wat PEE is and i assume you'll be passing GCSE English next year.
This was all I needed to hear, you both have reasonable points, one looking at the positive part of the community and one aware of the backlash received over absolutely anything (only sometimes unreasonably), but Liath is not the spoiled brat here, you **** child. Saying there are drawbacks to your idea is not a personal attack on you, so stop treating it as one. If the devs open their accounts to the public, people would potentially be free to spam their unrelenting hate in-game, which would be in the very least inconvenient, not to mention the plethora of forum posts whinging about devs taking their resources away by beating them and not even throwing them that bone, as well as many more ideas, people are creative after all. Yes it might be nice, but from their perspective, I wouldn't want to, they don't have to prove to people they play the game to play it. Better yet, in case you try to say people get beaten by them anyway, they may have different personal account names, in which case they may already be on swgoh.gg and you could be complaining about a resolved issue, which would bring me a smile.
That an satisfactory expansion for your English teacher? I won't comment on the fact that that's not the original acronym in the first place.
