Why does Kabam not fix the issues that don't benefit us? Poll

Wether it’s due to the fixes being easy or not, some things are still bugged, like surely things can take longer, but over 3 months? Really? When a vast variety have been fixed in a day or 2, it’s not like all the ones benefiting us are the same; they are all different so it can’t be a case of more complex vs easy fix?
Would it be nice to have every issue addressed at every step? Yeah, but that’s not feasible. Just like it’s not feasible for when someone makes a post and expected to not be labeled a “dumb blonde” because some caveman doesn’t agree with her.
Communication is paramount, and lack of communication doesn’t mean things aren’t being done behind the scenes.
Now let’s say I notify them I am close to an oil change. I take it in and it gets fixed in 45 mins to an hour. Granted when I dropped it off there was nobody there in front of me and I know I can change my own oil in under 15 mins. But whatever.
Now let’s say I hear a knocking noise coming from the engine. And because I am busy I fail to report it, fail to schedule a time for them to look at it. 3 months down the road I notice my car getting hotter and hotter. So I finally tell them about it and take it in.
Well my friend, what could have been fixed easier now will take substantially longer and end up costing me money. Because it took me so long to bring it in there is more wrong with the engine because of one thing.
Also would I want my mechanics texting me every time they took a bolt out, or every time they grabbed the wrong socket size? No it take away from them actually working on my car. And sounds too much like they want my approval and validation along with “good job “Bruce”
Now look at the game, a few bugs can be easy to fix, like How they have weekly maintenance. But somethings can take longer because it’s more intricate or because that bug has branched and caused more bugs.
And honestly you guys are screaming at the wrong people. The forum devs aren’t the ones fixing things. They are the ones taking our issues to who needs to see it. They are the ones who have tied hands on communication because the one fixing it is t taking to them. So if they don’t have information to give to is, what are they supposed to do?
Nick Fury removes all suicides just like how Masochism/Buffet works, fix within hours
Not to mention: Corvus still takes Bleed/Coldsnap damage and his Armor Break's interaction with Physical Resistance (4+ months now)
Symb Supreme broken (4+ months now)
Backdraft Intercepts broken (4+ months now)
Only a fool can be siding with Kabam on this
However the “dumb blonde” retaliation just shows where your mindset is so I’ll speak in terms you can understand. *puts on girls are stupid and can’t play game or understand them hat* some things are an easy fix, like Tarzan hungry so Tarzan kill. Some things are a hard fix, like your apparent misogynistic attitude, that will take years to correct. But if you want to scream foul every time Kabam fixes an issue that “benefits the player” but takes forever if it’s helping them, well you can’t fix stupid.
PS I’m actually a brunette, so your dumb blonde “joke” shows that you attribute stupid females with blondes, and that is a whole other can of worms. However I hear talking to a therapist about your problems help. And good news, I happen to be friends with a few, but you’ll have to get past them being blonde, female, oh yeah and smart.
All that side, I will reiterate my point. Stop commenting/posting screaming foul every time they fix something that could be used unfairly by players, because that is all this Cull nonsense is. People upset because something broke and numbers got inflated, so people will try to use this to their advantage knowing full well those damage numbers were never meant to be that high. And then cry like a schoolgirl with a skinned knee when their new toy is returned to his former self.
—————————
That wasn’t what you meant. You were very literal and expressive, demanding those without an ounce of coding knowledge to stop commenting because we have no clue how hard it is. Nothing in your entire content suggests otherwise. I did not for once misquote you.
And where did I ever openly and directly express that ‘dumb blonde moment’ must surely be of a softer gender? It can well be dumb brunettes or crappy dreadlocks for all I care. My message is against the ‘you’re not knowledgeable so shut up’ post. You chose to take offense and brand me personally as an myso-whatever. Never once in that post had made reference to you directly or question your ability to think just because you may well be of a softer gender (or not).
The gist is, this isn’t about CO. It may well be a result of CO’s announcement but there’s no soap operas here. It’s again you who’s sensationalising it. The topic is as simple as ABC (please read it again if that’s too overly complex for you). Again, it’s you who’s jumping with your assertions.
You don’t like your Mechanic calling you every minute about every bolt they pulled but I do. That’s accountability to me. That’s communication to me. That’s an expression of customer service to me. Now who in the world are you to chide, chaff, or shut others down from requesting an improvement to it?
So again, why is it so important for me to understand coding in order to comment about how I feel? Does it matter? all these silly posts suggesting ‘it’s a complex issue so don’t question the dev’’ is whitewash to me.
Try telling your bank that it a ‘complex issue’ why you’re continuously late servicing your mortgage and see if you get similar empathy.
The logic is actually pretty simple.
If it’s an issue that affects everyone, then everyone is put on the same playing field, eg, everyone fighting Sentinels in AQ gets rekted trying to punish his SP1.
However, if it’s an issue that gives benefits to a small subset of players, eg the recent Cull bug, then it only benefits the players with those champs and unevens the playing field for everyone else, eg people using Cull to 100% Variant or A6 with minimal item use while others have to slog through it.

So reason this with me. I have not heard about any shape and form about pure skill for a good 2 years. So what would be my main reason to not voice my dissatisfaction and form my own conclusion that other issues takes precedent over another?
Oh wait.. i know the answer:
it’s a ‘complex issue and it cannot be resolved overtime or maybe an aeon for that matter’;
or perhaps this is better -
‘Shut it. The devs knows best. You’re not the devs and you don’t know coding and so you don’t know the complexity that comes with it’..
Right... reasons... pfft... if only we even have one to cling to ...
Bugs benefit players = instant fix. Fact.
I would argue that the mere fact that there is such a perception (86% of the voters hold this view at the time of writing) is a problem in and of itself. It is indicative of a lack of trust as to how the game is being run and managed. This problem won't exist if Kabam is more open, transparent and communicative with regard to its bug fixes.
Put well-established bugs on the known issues list. What's so hard about that? All it does then is create accountability in that the players then have a legitimate expectation for that issue to be resolved eventually. Neglecting to do that sends a strong signal that you are not recognising it as an issue at all, which then starts the road down believing that Kabam is not going to fix that bug.
The problem with the "known issues" list is their idea of what it is for may be very different than ours. For them it may be "issue confirmed", not as in the problem you see, but the problem that is causing the problem you see. Both are valid interpretations, the issue causing the bug being known seems to be how they look at it.. From a developers perspective that will be how they like to handle it..
The reply? Nothing. Silence.
Again, it is incumbent on them to be transparent and explain their reasoning and thought process. Players will just keep asking and wondering otherwise.
Every release comes with a list of bug fixes, so you could start there by figuring out whether this was a bug raised by players and whether it was a bug that benefited players or made the game harder for us. But even then that would only address the known fixes, not the unknown list of bugs raised by players or Kabam itself.
Don't jump to conclusions without the facts. You might be right, but at this point all you are doing is stating an opinion based on one event. And in the age of social media, such statements get passed around by people until some believe they are fact.
We appreciate everyone's concern about the timeliness of bug fixes. The process of identifying an issue, replicating it through in-house testing, determining and implementing a fix is something that can vary in the amount of time it takes depending on the nature and severity of the issue. Bug fixes are not prioritized in such a way as to purposefully disadvantage players.
