To address this.
You do not need facebook to login, you can use a getsatisfaction log in, it is one of the options. This system is still in testing, and if it proves to be effective we will try and use your forum login as a single sign on to that site.
This new system makes it much easier for grouping discussions on issues as well as allowing players to vote on ideas. This makes it much easier to quantify what the players actually want, then just via the forums where there might be 10 different posts on the same idea. It also makes it easier for us to comment and make constructive criticisms of ideas.
It is still under testing, and if you look hard enough we have already leaked some information onto that forum. IE when the next server merge will be, as well as a potential change to the avatar system.
As for pushing people there, submitting ideas to me will go no where as well as submitting ideas in the wrong forum. I am not a dev, I am a Lead in the Customer Service Department with the Ear of the Manager. Consider me the Special Forces of Customer Service. We have not posted in idea threads in the game suggestion forum to move the threads to the new system, I have only commented about it in this thread as it was posted in the wrong place. We monitor the game idea forums, as well as the game suggestions submitted via the help system ( soon game suggestions will not be accepted there.) We just think that this new system will be much more effective so we are testing it and monitoring it.
I am not hear to argue with anyone, I am here to help improve the customer experience. If you do not want us to try and find way to interact better, or to improve the game you can be a hater, there is always that small percentage that is unhappy. You can give those people a pony and they are still upset because they think they should have gotten a bigger or different colored pony.

Go read it there.
Open a bottle of cyber wine with some of the experienced mods and chat, umm, that sounds good actually, but still one more day until Friday (for Texas anyway).
