I wonder why you guys think TW cares about the size of threads when they take suggestions?
Like, back when the devs were still sitting in streams of the game, on Reddit, 4chan, Discord, etc. taking suggestions, it was never threadnaughts they dove into. It was always like one guy making a suggestion, a few replies, then the dev would be like, "Oh, that's a good idea, I'll look into it." I think the only exception was mexxico and even he would ignore your post/suggestion if it was too long.
At any rate, I could've just picked the person in this very thread asking for Warband-style few lines of text next to a location in BL and claiming it would give this game what it needed.
Those are separate things, at least in English. When I play chess, I don't imagine I'm actually in a king's position, making medieval power moves. It is pure gameplay. When I read a book or watch a movie, I might be immersed but it is clear that I have no agency in the events, so no gameplay there.
Obviously, games exist on a spectrum in that regard but BL suffers from being basically a pure grind in the lategame and the lore being disconnected from everything. It was basically disconnected from Warband as well -- no girls allowed, but if you elevate Matheld, everyone is totes OK with it, honorable lords would burn your **** in a heartbeat, every single wife was a carbon copy once married, etc.
People say they want pure immersion features, then promptly get bored because the game itself is still boring.
