Cooper here is my thing.
Your community is teaching itself your engine for you, our main two channels to do this is the forums, and the few of us in skype working together. Taking capabilities away from us to help each other IS IMPORTANT, probably more important than finishing DX11 out that we probably won't fully use cause it's a MMO and most players can't handle it anyways.
Also since the game billing system for releases uses something similar where is the faith in us to trust it?
It's just not about searching for posts either. I'm in a post want to ask someone from that post a question via pm. Usually you could just click on their name, and click send PM. Now instead i have to go to my messages, new message, search for the name, add it, then type. Yes it's still functional just like the "work around" for searching, but it's so extremely annoying.
