During the EWoM beta, there were many many problems reported in these forums that were never fixed. And most posts were never responded to, so I got the feeling that the developers never even saw them. I don't know for a fact that they didn't, that was just the feeling I got as a beta tester.
With the FE beta, however, I see Kael responding to a lot of problem report posts, and Frogboy chiming in regularly as well. This gives me a much better feeling about FE than I ever had about EWoM.
Thanks, and keep it up, guys and gals.
