Community Suggestion What do we all want

[MalekIsWeird]

Suggestion Title: What do we all want
Suggestion Description: I propose an idea about a possible place maybe in discord or on this forum as a section where we can as a community vote out of all the "under development suggestions," which we want done first. Giving us a voice so we vote for that specific thing to take priority and allowing developers and coders to take aim at what they can do first as well as whether choosing in their best judgement to either release it in minor slices or as one big new feature which will surely make everyone happier since everyone demanded that one out of all first.

Why should this be added?:
- Faster development time
- Features added
- Happier community
- Giving the community a choice
- Easing effort on the developer by organizing for them what would be best done first
- Allows for less complaining from people as people will mostly get what they asked for.

What negatives could this have?:
- A minority of people who vote but don't win the democratic outcome will be dissatisfied
- Major updates which are voted and mostly wanted for will mean less often updates as they will take longer time to complete if the devs decided to bring it out as one big update instead of chunks

I’ll give some context to why this will not work.

Let’s start with the development time argument. Developers are also just people, we develop in our free time and that means that we just do not have more time then we have. This means that development time will not be reduced.

Now features added, the same amount of features will be added as development time stays the same.

Another shortsighted assumption is that you choosing will mean more gets done. That is incorrect as there still goes a lot of work into balancing and testing.

Then there is the human factor. Due to all of us doing this in our free time forcing us to do something we don’t want to do means it will not be done. By letting us choose what to do there will be a lot more time and this will actually reduce development time. You are taking that away
