Is there any means of communicating with the devs that they ACTUALLY consider or respond to?

I really, really really do not want to just trash the devs or be a toxic jerk. I want to have constructive, positive conversations and for them to do well.

I don't even want to get into the highly contentious and opinionated topics like balance or game design decisions; obviously I have my own opinions on those as well, but I don't think I have enough experience with those as of yet.

I primarily just want to talk to the devs about accessibility concerns, quality of life options, or interface improvements that I believe could be extremely helpful and inclusive, making the game look and feel more enjoyable and responsive to interact with.

I know they can't read or respond to everything, and even asking their community management team to filter things out for them is asking a fair bit; more than that, I'm extremely aware of how difficult it is to manage a community of players who uh, well, to be charitable and just say that the playerbase is intensely passionate, and those passions can boil close to the surface.

I'm asking this question though because I don't see any sort of, real interactivity or responsiveness between the devs and the community. I could be wrong of course, but I'm not sure.

Cheers,

EBM

    I read pretty much all threads on this forum and spend time giving the feedback to the correct parties - so please feel free to place your feedback in our Suggestions & Feedback sub category and it is read.

    This forum is for the Community. Game designers, UI designers, Audio technicians etc do not come to the forums as this is not the area of their jobs - QA is here, within the bug reports sections, as that area assists them with their jobs. The developers that do come on here, do so in their own time and respond to threads on a casual basis.
