Why don't the Devs speak with us anymore?

As a player of other MMO's, and the mother of kids who play as well, this is the only game I know of ( aka Disney games) where there seems to be this impenetrable wall between the developers and the players. Yes they come into the game and role play with us occasionally - which is awesome fun. And yes they do occasionally give us some hints of things to come. Other than this role playing, there is no interaction of which I am aware. The grog blog and the Pirates Online Channel on Youtube are the only other places I know of where they occasionally directly answer questions from players, and again, it's in this role playing persona.

It would be nice if they had a presence on the forums here ( and other forums ) to directly and plainly answer some of the questions we are asking or to be frank with us about issues they are having difficulty solving. I think it would create a less stressful environment for all of us to have a few things explained from those who know it best.. the programmers.

I will re-quote a phrase below this text only for Kat's reply because I believe so too.

Mia, this phrase makes more sense agreeing with Kat's reply.

@Kat - Of course, I'd like to see them post on here as well and explain what they are fixing or what's priority, etc.

I would ask them immediately:

Why isn't fast switch abuse fixed yet?
