My predictions for the OC FT Live Letter:
Either
or
I privately thinking surely I must be wrong. If I temp fate, surely it will play out differently even if its only because the universe likes to screw with me.
This way its win win for me. Either I get to be right, or I get to be wrong and that's a great thing.
You know major stuff like this... they really shouldn't leave it until a live letter. Its the privacy blocker issue all over again. They should have low key, frank, discussion, where they explain their thinking... then start formulating a plan (in priavte), but where people can start giving feedback on their thinking before they go too far.
I said I wanted them to communicate, but communication is a double edged sword, and I'm not sure live letter is what I had in mind.
I don't want them not to communicate, but honestly I'm terrified for them.
(not for myself, I'm just well past done already.)
Maybe if they are about to say something like 'hey we will help the savage premade players', maybe they will read this in time , to come up with a meat on the bones explanation for why that is the only group - YET - AGAIN - who are getting any help or consideration.
Hoping I can come back here and say, "glad to say I was very wrong about 'x' at least".
Please just have good explanation if you are again going to throw the aspiring non-discord casual, absolutely nothing but a tweak to the timing of braindead press X fates.

Either
- all talk and no action. (I honestly have little insight as to what the detail of that might be. Other than we hear you and please look forward to part 2).
or
- "We aren't gong to comment on our original intentions for FT.
- But we have heard the complaints of the Upper-class High-end, and because its the easiest change to make, we are helping the discord cartel savage player get what they want, and making it easier for them to pull the ladder up after themselves, and enter with full complete exclusive premades.
- We will not be changing the design of Forked.
- We will not be enabling it to be queued casually, nor limiting premades to of 8/48, nor applying stiff penalties for abandoning, nor anything else to really help casuals get in without threat or hindrance
- We would like acknowledge the complaints of the casual player, but as we don't really acknowledge they exist that would be problematic."
