G'day Mobage,

Firstly can I start off by saying thanks for making two important changes to the game these past weeks. Most of us here on this forum suspected that you were reading our posts, and when the old episode raid cards were added into the medals space bridge last episode, it pretty much confirmed you were taking notes.

Today's announcement that you will be expanding the tier cutoffs for the next event is the 100% confirmation that you’re here among us, listening and taking suggestions back to the dev team. Which is great, and we all appreciate that here. However, there's one more thing you can do and that's the point of this note to you today.

Instead of lurking, on behalf of everyone here I invite you to talk to us. Participate. Become part of the little community here.

We don't bite (well, only a little). You would have seen by the banter here that everyone is supportive, open minded, and has the game's best interests at heart. Yeah we grumble about spending money, but that's because we want value. We're also very inquisitive as you have probably noticed too (particularly with the attempts to crack the DP formula).

We'd welcome your input here in the forums. This is a fantastic, largely untapped resource for you. It is a free support network that is helping you out already. So get involved! Bounce ideas off us for future events, gameplay enhancements, new cards, heck anything to do with the game really. You’ll get constructive, honest feedback here. We’d be happy to beta test stuff for you as well.

Now I know there may be some reticence to open up a line of comms that could get flooded with inane requests like “Moar dinobotz episodes plz!” but by now you have surely noticed we are a pretty mature bunch and that kind of chatter is in the minority. And you have a whole team in place dedicated to player relations. Heck, you’re hiring right now a Snr Manager of Community Support whose job it is to “Serve as the voice of our players internally reporting key issues and feedback to executives to drive strategy”.

I can’t think of a better way to do that than actually interact with the players. Your Facebook page is full of hate, mainly. I doubt you’ll find decent input there, just lots of derp. So come to us here where you’ll find smart players and a high percentage of contributors that are either Tier 1 or Tier 2 players. In the last episode, a ton of the top players were from here.

(Which may also be of interest for the other job I see you are hiring for to build loyalty programs for the big spenders:  http://hire.jobvite.com/CompanyJobs/Careers.aspx?c=qX59VfwQ&jvprefix=http%3a&cs=9Sz9Vfwf&jvcategory=Marketing+and+Sales&jvresize=http%3a%2f%2fwww.denajobs.com%2fframeresize.html&nl=0&page=Job%20Description&j=o4GFXfw6 ... But I digress).

So register a username, enter the forum and say hi. We’re waiting to get involved.

Cheers, LD

P.S. We haven’t forgotten that suggestion for players to buy/sell/trade cards. We’ll keep at you on that one ;)
