This has the opportunity to be really awesome.
As I've mentioned before, true dev meet-ups that I've been a part of in other games were NOT just devs saying the same ****. They really DID listen. They really DO take into account what we want, but unfortunately, sometimes the 'fixes' aren't as easy as we assume they are.
I know I intend to chat with my guild in depth about the issues that are affecting our group, and if I am chosen to attend, will try to get our concerns/questions addressed as best I can.
