Players still can’t find CCP responses on threads unless they are forum-obsessive. For example, this detailed reply by CCP Swift may as well not exist to the wider community, thanks to disappearance of the “Dev Posts” filter link.
We are in another major update cycle in which Developers post answers to player’s questions, but none of it easily discoverable, because the Forums lost the “dev posts” link at the top of the page. A static link and button that ought to be trivial to restore.
