It’s Time For LL To Actually Do Something

I just finished reading the latest post by Nobody Fugazi at your2ndplace.com. While I agree with just about everything he says, I’m simply afraid that the constant echos from people that are upset about the current state of SL will continue to go unheard by the ones who really need to listen. I’m afraid that no matter how loud we yell or how many of us do the yelling, they’ll continue down the path that they’ve been on for so long.
As with “any” business, you have to change… not just simply be open to change or listen to people talk about change, but actually go through with the changes. If you don’t adapt to what your customers expect and if you don’t give your customers what they want, they simply leave. They’ll find someplace else to go. Many are already doing that, but Linden Lab doesn’t want to acknowledge it.
Simply adding features like better search and more realistic skies do nothing to solve the problems that current residents have been complaining about. Take a look at the latest “Windlight Update” and following comments to see what I mean. In fact, it allows current residents to see the problem much more clearly. How many residents were “yelling” about search or the way the sky looked? How many residents are “yelling” about the ongoing landbot, griefing, and other problems? The answer to those questions reveals just how much Linden Lab listens to the residents.
I love analogies, so I can’t help but compare this to a baby that’s screaming and crying because it wants it’s diaper changed, but all you do is keep feeding it and feeding it. Pretty soon, there’ll be so much shit that the diaper won’t hold any more. After a while, the baby gets so used to sitting in a crappy diaper that it quits complaining. Maybe Linden Lab will notice, once it gets all over them.
