He tried hard to give the players a hearing.
What he then got from us was in the main a load of abuse but in a forumly manner.
Feather of the Sun got a load of barrels last week when he was trying to be friendly and funny
Honestly we are our own worst enemies sometimes
Usually we are our own worst enemies.
FotS should not try to be "Friendly and Funny" until he does the things he says he will.

"I think I fixed it, where 'fixed' means it works for people who do not play the game more than a couple hours a month in an environment that is not customer facing.
Of course I could test this fix to see if it really works after I release it to Live, but I won't because as I said before, I'm pretty sure I've nailed it, and that's good enough."
They earn most of the crap they get.
They "fix" things that are not broken "while they were in there" without publicly documenting the change (for example, Shroud Blades) while ignoring high-profile issues.

Same goes for all non-functioning Spell Power set bonii"
Sure it is, Feather. Sure it is. I sincerely hope you surprise me this time.
I don't dislike MajMal, but neither do I like him.
He had a chance to make a difference, or at least to make it seem that it things were moving away from "bag of ass", but things sure feel the same as they did before he announced that he would try to make things better.
There are some things to like about the changes and additions to the game, but they are very easy to forget when there are so many highly visible gaffs that go unacknowledged and are seemingly ignored for years.
But, hey, have you noticed that nobody is complaining about Ladders anymore?
