Forum Suggestion: Threads opened by developers

The problem with the previous forum was that there were little developer-player interactions when it comes to suggestions and balance discussions. I understand- there's a lot of ideas thrown around and the developers must not have time to respond to each thread individually. However, it's still disappointing when months go by without developer response.

Solution: Whenever a developer opens a thread, the thread gets marked with a grey "Arenanet" icon indicating that the thread has been opened by an Arenanet staff member, and turns red when there's a response.

It's a simple solution that goes a long way in saying that our voices are being heard.

And causes another set of problems when people now have proof that their thread wasn't read, especially if they can see other threads all around theirs have been read.

Be careful what you ask for. ANet might give it to you.
