Your assumptions are that AH3 will die unless 'we' fix it and HTC is out of touch with their customers.
Given the general quality of ideas presented and the fact that Hitech reads the forum, plays in the game, and talks to players on the phone and in emails makes me think your assumptions are not supported.
One thing to keep in mind is that nobody knows why so many people DL the game but don't stay, nobody knows why the population is smaller, and nobody knows what to do about it.
People have ideas but anyone pretending to know is kidding themselves.
If you have an idea post it, it may be a good idea. A lot of good ideas have added to the game.
It's a little early for a eulogy. AH2 numbers declined along with the economy. The economy is better now.
Hitech is always working to improve the game. Turn down the drama and have fun playing with your friends.
I never said such a thing. I clearly stated that it would not fix anything but that it was worthy endavour. One that might be arranged as one greater then just the game as to provide a social base for connections between players/people to persist in the future. I never stated that HTC was out of touch or unable to function specifically but HT isn't perfect so you can't expect miracles left and right. I stated that it would be a good place to get feedback and probably a quicker one as well.
I think the only drama here is you.
AH is dying, its number are falling year by year which is the definition of dying. If it were growing in number it would be getting healthier, its quite simply that the opposite is happening. Concerning the economy, the economy would be "recovered" or healthier then it was in '08 if all the debt people owed was paid back. That is clearly not feasable within the time frame (11 years) and it's not the case in many countries.
My assumptions are supported by the realities in front of us btw, I wouldn't be calling a spade a spade unless it were a spade.
