Hey @manslaughter,
Since my name was brought up. I'll address your concerns and state that all of the feedback that was given by unofficial faction leaders was forwarded to the correct people. Furthermore, there were threads made around the topic at hand. If you refer back to the message that was sent out, it was a general feedback request that was optional for unofficial factions to take part in to see if we as the IFT could find or spot any repetitive issues. Out of the repetitive issues, there were only a handful that were presented forward such as drug concerns and the spotlight for unofficial factions itself.
With that being said, I think it is very unwise of you to think that there was no point of submitting the things that you did. Your feedback along with many others was taken into account before a handful of discussions started within the private section. I think majority of you fail to realize the things that are happening behind the scenes and how many discussions in fact take place. However, at the same time, there is so much that can be discussed until the development side proceeds forward with suggested things. It is clear that the sensitive topic of how IFT is handling things is up in the air. However, I do reassure you that everyone is taking the job seriously especially after the recent spotlight of discussions that took place publicly.
One thing that we strive and push for is transparency. With transparency also comes the line between the truth and the lie. I would urge you guys to always hear both sides of the story before jumping to a conclusion. I am not saying that you cannot have a mind of your own, but there is a sense of urgency that we are not working machines as well and that we have a full-time job. With that being said, I would like to still push forward for transparency and most importantly being more communicative towards the general community that includes both official and unofficial factions. This will be discussed internally on how we can keep everything aligned but most importantly give out more details along with what is happening behind the scenes as long as it's not considered leaking. This can be in a form of FT updates, roadmap, or even community meetings. This is something that we're going to discuss and bring forward. Furthermore, we are going to be revamping the Faction Public Team soon enough that the FTC can comment on themselves ( @Flip, @Spectre, @badhbh) that will take a different direction and a structure.
I hope response was respectable and all I ask for is time from our end to strength the process even more.
