Sometimes that's because the company wants to control all the information, but often it's because the developers themselves don't want a public presence - either because they simply don't enjoy it, or because experience has helped curb their enthusiasm for it.
I was curious tbh, so I looked at the last 5 pages of the 'dev tracker' to quantify such findings.
Sapiance (Community Manager & Harbinger of Soon) - 108
CarpeNoctern (Turbine Customer Support) - 11
Kehleyr (Quality Assurance Turbine, Inc.) - 6
Condovan (Administrator)- 4
QuatermasterU (Turbine, Inc.) - 3
Made of Lions (The Lord of the Rings Online Team Turbine, Inc.) - 1
RockX (The Lord of the Rings Online Team Turbine, Inc.)- 1
gap between - 3rd of june to 26th of june
I'm *think* MoL and Rock are designers and/or developers.
while a completely pointless survey of a small portion of the 413 pages of dev tracker. your probably right that developers don't seem to get involved. although we do always hear they read our feedback (which is creepy). it probably is best at times to let us fight between ourselves instead of trying to answer a hundreds of questions of directly pointed rage at them. just look on here, how many people quote sapience asking questions? it's madness I tell you!
I try and keep my posts a fair length and informative, and just can't keep up with this forum alone at times
when you think players want massive long explinations with all possible QnA's of updates... damn I can see why they don't butt in XD and thats completly ignoring the negative posts they get aimed at them
