The Daily Grind: If you could give advice to a developer that would actually be taken, what would it be?

While the developers have insider knowledge of the making of their games and access to information and demographics we don’t, that doesn’t mean the observations , player opinions and advice are void. Having “multiplayer” communities opens up a lot of insights that developers may have overlooked – or purposely overlooked.

I think many of us would jump at the opportunity to speak our mind to a developer or team of developers. So let’s imagine this scenario today: You get to sit down and talk privately with a developer of your choice (say, a creative lead, producer, or lead designer). At the end of your conversation, she asks you for some advice on what to do about this MMORPG – and promises to act as honestly as possible.

What single piece of advice would you give if you knew it would be heard and at least tried (if not done)?

Every morning, the “Mass Overpowered” writers team up with the mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players questions about the massively multiplayer online role-playing genre. Grab a cup of your favorite drink and try to answer today’s question Daily grind!
