Look in no way am I complaining, these events are a great time where I get to meet tons of interesting people, learn about interesting subjects, and provide feedback on a game that I love. I feel very privelaged to be asked to participate. My reason for pointing out the sacrifice was to make it aparent that there is no way in hell that I would continue to make those sacrifices if I felt that my time was being wasted. The second I feel that my feedback is not being considered or that I am wasting my time I will not continue to be involved.

I think it's fairly obvious that I do have some questions at this point about how my feedback is being used, as does Oneback (and some others). But one thing I can assure you is that the devs I have worked with at the events have been very interested in my opinions and input. My questions all reside in how much they are willing (AND ABLE) to change because, as I (and others) said previously, we have suggested some major critiques that would be impossible to implement immediately. To this point, I remain confident that my time is NOT being wasted.
