Random observation

[Zinah]

... that I shared with my husband, (who has been giggling at my antics since yesterday)

Me:   There's no women!
Him:  What, in the game?
Me:   No, no.  On the Dev team!  It's clearly all guys who haven't looked at their girlfriends hard enough.  Sheesh!
Him:  That implies they have girlfriends, dear.
Me:   Babe!  That's just mean.... Funny though.

Why did this conversation happen? It's because the women do the damnedest things, seriously.     Perhaps us ladies need a forum so we can explain these oddities in one location and give ideas about how to take the female models/actions to the next level.  Don't get me wrong, this is place is grand!!!   However, somethings are seriously mood/scene breaking because it's like it came out of a bad porn rather than logical, life-like behaviors. 

I know I'd be glad to pipe up!  But I think you already caught that point.

We've made MANY similar jokes at their expense.

You'd expect the dev-team to have some models to pose the actions for them. Wouldn't that be tax-deductable? If not, they should invest in models, to make the actions better... At least invest is some female advisor...

[Janine Dee]

Bah they've got free ones here and they still won't listen. 

[TightFit74]

Maybe they have a visual nack, and find it hard to transfer words into images..?

Who says they are doing here what they like in private? After all it's their business. Maybe yes, maybe no. Perhaps they believe, this is the best way to make it? Perhaps the experience showed, this is the way to make the money?

[Zinah]

Hmmm, well as one of the women who pay to play, I'm pointing out that they could do *better* and I suspect as a result make more money if they did so.  If it's all about capitalism then a better product will generate more revenue.  The women who play here have apparently noticed long before I turned up. 

[Bear]

Yes points long ridiculed,..but still we like the new folks to speak up,...post things we may have discussed before, because our voices and complaints have been long vocalized.  A new voice might perk their attention, remind them it's something other than another rant from Bear.

[TightFit74]

I think they'd rather have us rant on here, as flooding their email with our complaints... (even though there is a lot of praise for AChat to be found..)

[Lover]

They know, a forum is used for many complaints and little praise. After all, this is a very friendly and nice forum. They also should notice the growin number of members here - which is helpful for us "older" writers, but even for them. They see, there are more and more people willing to pay a good price if they get what they want.

Yes Zinah, I'm with you. Hopefully they get the same answer if they ask themselves about the right path to go on.

[Bear]

That is a point Lover I hope they recognize. We have seen many of our friends slip away, some discouraged due to unanswered desires which were not unreasonable. (hard to think myself of myself as a part of the older group,...but I have been here quite awhile now)

The development team has brought some wonderful products forward,...and made others suffer through questionable offerings. I hope they do recognize we offer constructive criticism, especially of the products gone awry.

I hope they also understand,..recognize the sensual side of sex,...improvements to existing poses with some of the suggestions offered will help them in the long run and increase the value of their product .

[Janine Dee]

Our response are consistent, and accordant with their actions. I have seen very little deliberate picking of fights, and a great deal of genuine, and even passionate responses to their decisions.

When they do what we would consider well we are as generous with our praise as we are with our scorn when they come out with ideas we can not even comprehend the origin of.

We're passionate, and love or hate that's going to be better for a business then ambivalence on the part of the consumer.

I`m thinking maybe ! I have a brother that works , makes computers programs ,and I can`t  under stand him when he talks about computers ! I`m an artist , build and create things ! He see `s my work ! and is over whelmed ! I wonder if they have some one on the team , that works w human relations ? An artist , designer ? while their dealing with the program > and if they have some working on site getting to know and feeling what we want  >  I deal w touristes ! sorry bad speller but the ideal is there !

Well for the 8 months I have been posting here, I can attest to the fact that a number of suggestions have been introduced which would have created a markedly improved product. One hopes they do read these forums and truly embrace the suggestions. Sometimes I wonder. Any good business model recognizes the strengths of the staff and too it's weaknesses.

Achat is first and foremost an erotic chat forum supported by some wonderful visual aids. What deters from the product are poses incompatible with the imagination.

Case in point: The kneeling Lover position for FM. Terrific idea but crippled by the default thrusting motion. It should have been a static pose, let the movement be an option. rather then a constant grind that detracts from the words. From the static position, kisses, fondling, the embraces made so much more sense. Besides as a static pose, it could have easily been converted into a FF pose meeting the cries of wants that Janine and others have voiced over something more erotically bent in foreplay.

(GOD FORBID SOME FOOL THINKS LAXTEX/ PLASTIC STRAP-ON IS A NECESSITY TO IT)

[TightFit74]

Agreed. Most comments here are for the better of the game, more specific to wishes and desires of the (aying) members. How the dev-team decides what to develop next, has been valed inclouds, inpenetrable for us to see through.
But I have noticed, and I think that is a shame, is a lack of upgrades of existing poses. I have yet to see them modify an existing pose, to make it better suited for the purpose it was created. Even though they improvements have been discussed at length on the forum. I think that is a missed opportunity. Ofcourse I have no clue of the implications of adapting an already existing pose(programming-wise) , but I imangine it would be less work as creating a completely new one...
