Wrong, whenever an official represent says anything in a forum, it is to be considered an official statement, unless noted otherwise.
True. IF a "official represent" says it via "official account". "Official represents" are people especially hired to deal with player-to-company communication - like community managers.
Like it or not - a "badge" that mentions someone's role in the project does not by any way make the account "official" nor "representative". A mechanic in VW work-suit discussing speed-limits does not represent VW point of view on speed limits.
what matters is how a community perceives it.
And I should assume that your perspective represents the whole community's approach?
To end this pointless (off)topic - as a player and a user - I find it rather surprising that anyone would complain on "limited accessibility" of an item or few in a RPG game… it's like complaining that one can't do "all the quests" because "some are limited" (by sex, time, pre-requirements)… RPGs by definition include elements, which only a few can have / are willing to get or are limited by your choices (that's the "role" part in role-playing game)
As a professional "techniker"
who IST informiert (and someone who used to be responsible for incorporating communication standards in one of the biggest banks in my country) I will remind you that only people explicite designated to reveal official information are
*ever* allowed to take any meaningful "side" in a discussion and that they will most likely do that in designated places (like - "announcements" section of this forum) OR explicite mention that in (rare) cases, when the discussion is being held in other parts of the forum.
No other person or statement may or should be considered as "official", like it or not.
I will also remind you that you are discussing in a "
Saloon" (
Anything else goes in here! Feel free to chat about whatever you like) which by definition is non-official up to extreme…
To avoid any further disputes regarding this topic I decided to de-badge myself, at least for the time being… which most probably means no more inside news on the game progression, cos hey - why should I? I'm here for the people, not for the company…
