Apparently a couple of folks over in the alpha forums are taking strong offence of everyone mentioning they're actually playing the game for enjoyment and reporting what can be done to further increase enjoyment. and a lot of gameplay changes are very small such as changing the number of a range or damage and other that really takes little to no time to change. my suggestion is that there would be made an "alpha bug report" sub part, where those who believe the alpha should only be about fixing bugs, and a "gameplay subforum" that would be more about smaller changes like balancing, modding, and generally gameplay enjoyment.
I'm in favour of a balance forum, just so we can concentrate all their posts... and easily ignore them.
Seems like a good idea to me. It would make it a bit more complicated, but as long as the descriptions are clear cut I think it would work better than the current system.
