Ah ye, i noticed it month ago, that any active communicating devs not in story chats anymore. Guess easier just poke unseliee/durandal, or lurking in lorediscussion lounge, when unseliee active in it
Tho, i have assumptions, that this is temporary solution before some reforms will come.
It's not a solution. It's their total disregard for the people they took charge over. The only reforms will be born of an attempt to save face, but it's all been seen before.
Not only transparency would help, but also if devs permitted crowd sourcing.
Things like spell checking, spotting inconsistencies, improving the format, and improving readability are easily accomplished with crowd sourcing, with only a bit more effort for organization from the person requesting something, which would greatly decrease the workload on staff.
That goes not only for RCRs but also other player requests, infocard dev work, and so on...
There is huge potential for it because this place is full of people willing to help, who are very frustrated with the fact that they cant.

No.

This part of the procedure is explained very clearly in the RCR post. I'll highlight it for you.
RCR Wrote:Procedure:
Consultation with the development team regarding feasibility of the request + 1st Discussion of what the implementation could be between the requester and the Development Team
Application following the Application Template below. No template, no action.
RCR fee taken from a character identified in the request.
Approval by the story team
2nd Discussion of what the implementation could be between the requester and the Development Team following internal discussion
Some form of implementation by Development. This step can often take quite a while, as implementation will enter our queue and be processed when we have time and opportunity.
Cooldown period of two months between successive requests.

I asked a member of the story team to respond to inquiries from @Thunderer about this 5 days ago. I have just spoken with them and apparently they forgot, this should be handled today. If it isn't, please contact me immediately.

So are story chat by Devs now completely useless as noone is responding there to pings? Because I have no faith in this system if I can't get info on current issues that I am trying to inquire about
