Could you imagine the merc discussions if a dev chimed in and explained the methods and coding of their system and why it is a good idea and explained a multi-paragraph coding, dev perspective explanation of why were doing it?
BUT I SIGNED UP TO BE RED DEVS HATE PLAYERS WAHHHHH
Devs shouldn't and don't have to argue with garbage like that. They are here to do a job. They don't have time to BS on the forums with a ton of people who wouldn't know a line of code from the game if their wallpaper was made of it.
Yeah, the devs don't chime in because players game after game have proven they can't handle discussions with devs, who might actually tell them cold hard truth other players don't know and that they will also disagree with. That is a reason among many others. Even the one time I saw a player speak to a dev in whispers and posted it, he couldn't just ask questions without melo-dramatic GW2 threats of departure. What a joke.
