While I understand what Alaz is saying and agree in principle, there is still such a thing as tact. Yes, it would be better if Jagex were more open to communities but, personally, I feel that answering questions as fully as possible is far more important. That is not to say that Jmods should be corporate machines and never use humour, rather they should be aware that some subjects of that humour are currently very sore points amongst their customers. A little sensitivity goes a long way.
Several people have put forward very well written reasons why the wildy penguins should be moved. I have not, simply because I can live with whatever decision is made even if I do not agree with it. As I see it, there are far more reasons to move those penguins than there are to justify leaving them but that is just my opinion.
The only real answer about leaving them that I have seen is the very brief one within the FAQ which seems to be a poor excuse. Maybe there are other considerations but that is where Jagex should be open and tell us what they are so that we can understand the decision.
Obviously Jagex can't answer every question on the forums however the popularity of the threads discussing it should have highlighted that a lot of people want answers.
The current situation is that Mod Timbo has now said that he will discuss it with the community. All I am saying is that spending that time a few days ago to have a similar conversation might have made fewer people feel ignored. "Closing the stable door after the horse has bolted"
.
Maybe if we knew Jmods understood our concerns we would have felt better. Even adding a smiley to the end of the comment to show that it was a cheeky joke rather than a taunt might have improved things. As it was, the lack of all those things made me feel like Jagex doesn't care and was mocking us.

@Mod Timbo:
I agree that you have supported us in the past and I hoped that it was an ill-advised joke so thanks for confirming that.

Hi guys,
Just thought I'd jump on to see how the newsletter feedback's going and whoah there, I see Timbo's put the cat among the penguins somewhat.
While I know that Tim didn't intend to wind up Penguin Hunters I can see he's certainly got some conversation going on the subject. I've tweaked his article a tiny bit to hopefully make sure his comments aren't misconstrued.
Misconstrued comments or not though,I totally get that if you're not into PKing but love hunting penguins, the new wilderness will throw up some additional challenges that you might not be into.
Mod Mark did confirm in the recent Q&A that penguin hunters will find hunting penguins in the wilderness more risky but we'll make sure that the feedback we've read and the thoughts put forward in this thread so far are taken into consideration.
So, with that in mind and out of respect for all the other newsletter contributors, let's hold any further discussion on the subject elsewhere so we don't hijack the newsletter. Fair enough?
