Dying (or DEAD) Disney has let us down!

It has been 24 hours since this thread was first posted. There have been over 900 visitors to the thread, and over 50 responses. (During the 7 + months that I have been here on POF, I have never seen such high numbers) Not a single response conflicted with the original posting.

DISNEY, please listen??!! We are trying to tell you that there is a loyal following, but you are losing us.

Maybe, Disney needs to develop a different type of relationship with the players? Having people on the test servers is one thing, someone definitely needs to Beta Test the software, ( I have volunteered, but never ben selected for it,) but maybe what they really need is player/advisors. It seems that there is a group of developers there at D that come up with ideas, and then they implement them in code. In this case, it is them who decide what to develop, and when. Sometimes, an idea that seems great to it's creator fizzles when put into production.

If Disney would develop a small group of game player/advisors, then they would be able to have a direct interface with the public, and could be fed the info that the PLAYERS would like to see developed into the game. These people would be regular players, and should be secretive about their position. But, they would be there on a regular basis, watching and listening. (Again, I volunteer, as I'm sure a hundred others would.) I'm not saying that Disney give creative control to the players, but that they would have a better concept of what the paying customer wants. I think it was Henry Ford, "Give the customer what they want." (Not sure if him or someone else.)

POF MODS: ( or anyone else) do you know if there is a way to document this entire thread, including data on number of visits and number of unique visitors, and forward the entire thing to a Disney Manager? Not just send it to some generic email address, but to a particular person?
