New topic about an old subject, but first a message to mods. I understand that this topic has been posted before time and again but there was only 1, thats right 1 thread, that actually listed out in a clear manner some the issues with GT5 penalty system. I was seeking to clarify the issues at hand so Polyphony might listen. Also, the search engine for this site is not the best at displaying threads with the word 'penalty' or 'penalty system'. I don't have time to read every post that mentions the words penalty or penalty system. Finally, my thread was locked even before I could further explain exactly why I started a new thread about the subject. So here is another new thread about the penalty system except it touches a different matter.
Why does Polyphony not respond to us like other developers about subjects such as the penalty system and problems other than vague answers? Blizzard, specifically World of Warcraft, have a number of people respond called Blues constantly browse the forums trying to understand their users and how to make their game better. I've looked around the forums and found very little of this from Polyphony.
It's great they are making a game so detailed to be almost photorealistic and matching every detail of the their real world counter parts but I feel they have lost touch with their user base. Most people are satisfied with a response of like something like "We know the system is broken and that there are many flaws in it. Here are some possible ways we are thinking about fixing it....." or "We know the system is flawed but when we implement the new damage system a new penalty system will be present". A statement like that would effectively squash any moaning other than losing a race cause of the penalty system. Cause hey why waste time trying to fix a system that won't be needed on the final launch. This shroud of secrecy/snobbery is getting old. We know you have put much work into it, etc. but you can only use the line "You’re waiting for something that’s worth waiting for.” so many times Mr. Yamauchi.

rologue counts still by the way. Have you looked on the news page of this website? That is still hyping up the game. It shows game play footage, interviews, etc. That is hyping up a game just because you don't see advertisements on TV/magazines/other mainstream outlets doesn't mean PD/Sony still don't hype the game. PD/Sony don't necessarily have to be the instigators either. Word of mouth still hypes up the game because it gives the person you are telling/showing a idea of how the game should rank since you probably value the opinion of the person.
