Interface changes would have to be made by JK, JK has only so much time. The new themes mainly take up Kristoffers time. Illwinter simply does not have the reources or time to implement all the interface suggestions.

You answered my question of the thread I started Last week (before I even know a patch was coming out). Thank you for this information.

I read Dekent's post as being serious constructive criticism. Maybe his tone or choice of words (like mine I am sure, it already happened, I am not the best writer in the world) makes it seem that certain good things are not appreciated, which I am sure is not the case. But if Dekent can be read as saying "hey these interesting features are good and make the game more variable, but I did not feel that the game was lacking in this area (note: that is a COMPLEMENT), but when I hear 'patch' I had hoped for global improvements in what I felt to be an area upon which could be improved, namely: the interface", then I would agree with him. Maybe people like he or I are in the vast minority of people who currently play or would be interested in playing DomII in the future, who knows? I personally dont feel the "exit" needs work, but my thread with interface questions really does.

But in any case, I feel that people should also be able to post their questions and opinions about this if done in an appropriate manner. I also really honestly believe that this can also be read as a compliment (e.g. the game is very very varied and very very well-balanced as it is), and that devs and everybody here can and should welcome constructive criticism.

I don't think my response to Dekent was particularily harsh, and I do think people are reporting their suggestions all over the board, without feeling particularily harassed. I am sorry if you feel I have stifled constructive criticism, I don't think so myself.
