"Judging by these figures, a vast number of Witcher 3 players REALLY desire the changes to the gameworld, discussed here."
And yet even if we ignore the straight up hyperbole attached to certain words used in the statement like, "vast" and "REALLY", it still doesn't lead to being confused or not being able to understand why CDPR have not responded to this thread in months, or why another response is unnecessary.
A "vast" amount of people want to see Red Dead Redemption on PC. A "vast" amount of people want to see TW1 & TW2 come to consoles or have some kind of remaster with the latest iteration of the engine... They've asked, they've been heard, and communication has been given with responses to both. Does that mean people stop wishing, hoping for either thing to happen? No, absolutely not (I still dream of RDR on PC), but I'm not going to get annoyed at Rockstar, or annoyed at CDPR, because it's been months, or years, since they've last given us any response or information about either of those situations, and find it 'incomprehensible' that it hasn't occurred. Both companies have given very clear answers to those questions, and time spent making a response to just state exactly the same thing that has already been stated would just be a waste.
The point being, that this is exactly the same situation. Communication on this topic has been given, and relatively clearly too. A RED response now would do literally nothing for this thread. It'll be exactly the same response as they've given before, the people who are still hopeful will remain hopeful, those who don't care will remain as so, nothing will be gained. It would not be opaque or strange if this thread continued to be ignored, because it has already received appropriate answers.
Sure, in the end the devs owe us nothing - still CDPR has shown great commitment for their games and those who play them in the past and adding a handful of NPCs to the gameworld is not that big of a deal. Seriously - expectations can't be kept much lower than that. It's not like anyone posting here demands some gigantic changes, or a rework of the entire game or something.
You guys might not think you're wanting much, but CDPR will view things from a different perspective. Maybe on a big list of what's important to the game, post-game world sits very, very low, and no matter how many players it affects, their game priorities remain the same. Maybe they've had a meeting about this issue already, and said that if they wanted to do it they'd only do it "properly", and that would simply require too much time/money/effort (Much like Ginger eluded to all those posts ago)... It could be any number of things, and we're all aware that CDPR are committed to their games and those who play them, but sometimes it doesn't work out the way some people want. That might suck, but it's reality, it's how these things work.
In this situation all you can do is exactly what has been done, make a thread, gain support, clearly show what you want, and then be patient, wait and see if it ever happens. You can keep hoping, but much like me wanting a PC version of RDR, go in knowing it's a fools hope, and just keep yourself from going crazy over it.
You're probably aware I've been ignoring numbers, that's because there's no control in this kind of crap. I'm a mod on the forums, I can see how active stuff is. However I also know that dupe accounts have been rampant in previous months, I know that Strawpoll's are not by any means conclusive evidence of anything. I also know that 6+ Million people bought TW3, and even the X many thousand people shouting for those Romance changes are ultimately insignificant in comparison to the actual number of people playing TW3 in general, and likely most of those 6 Million probably wouldn't even know what people's problem is with the Romances.
I've been foolish before, thinking that a couple hundred votes in a Alchemy Poll meant anything, or certain one-sided discussions about Witcher Senses was at all important. Numbers mean something when things are conducted properly, and more often than not random internet numbers are completely redundant.
