We used to get real design documents in the past that gave us at least a moderate glimpse of what a mechanic was, and how CIG is planning on it affecting gameplay. Can we please go back to getting these deep-dive documents into professions?
Internally, they've changed how they do things. A lot of times the deep-dive documents went into very deep detail, and Todd doesn't think they've hit all of those details once on any given profession/feature. Instead, they internally have what they consider to be Tier Zero, Tier One, Tier Two etc.
