This is a great point, and one of the reasons that I have enjoyed taking part in the Splinterlands community so much. I have played plenty of other (non-P2E) games where I felt the developers and the community had a healthy relationship, but the interaction that the devs have here with their community is on a whole different level from what I have seen in any other game that I have played before.

Weekly town halls, taking the time to explain their decision making processes, actually listening to user feedback...what??? It is a great feeling to know that the game devs are willing to listen to what players have to say. I have even seen Aggroed take the time to briefly stop by general-chat on Discord, which is kind of crazy (in the good way) when I think about it.
