<p>If your intention is to sit quietly and provide no feedback until you are told to do so, well I think you're just missing out on a fantastic opportunity. To quote from the Kickstarter Alpha pledge, "You will be welcomed as part of a very small group of alpha playtesters in a closed Alpha of Pathfinder Online. This will be a great chance for you to give us direct input on how Pathfinder Online ends up looking and playing in its final incarnation." You can choose to take a "don't ask for tweaks," "don't ask for crowdsource," and "do not design" approach if you like, but I paid my money to have a voice and by God I'm going to use it whether that gets your panties in a twist or not.</p>Lam wrote:On the forum, the devs (Tork or ???) have stated that charge is not yet implemented.
