You really should have. But you totally missed the most obvsious and easy way to research, ask us old timers (a few of us in your guild :D) and you would not necessarily have to completely search through an "archaic" forums system - See Ryzom DOES make good changes! :D

As for the rest of your post, I can understand how you see it that way.. the typed word is always easy to misconstrue and hard to hit it spot on. I could read almost every post in this thread in a different voice to give it a different perspective (anger, questioning, helping, etc.). Keep that in mind not only for the replys to you but from you as well.

The entire reason the idea boards are there are for players to discuss the ideas. If someone likes your idea, they might or might not post saying so. If someone doesn't like the idea they have every right to say so as well. It is not griefing but a statement of opinion. Perhaps they do like something the way it is, just because you have a new idea does not mean that the current way is invalid. As far as those offering the ways it can be done (or different manner) they are just trying to be helpful, knowing you are new and may not realize that it is an option, they are not trying to quash your idea by offering such advice.

As far as "meaningful" things to do, again, that is in each of our perspectives. There is a lot of things to do and there is a lot that each of us can do to make the game more meaningful. Besides what has already been mentioned, Ryzom can be highly RPG centered and the way that we, the player, can affect the storyline is pretty unique (there are a few others that let players affect a storyline, but not on the level Ryzom does) and it was only mentioned briefly in another post. You can become part of the political process, interact with live event characters that respond to you, not just some pre-set mission that EVERYONE can do to get the same results, and make a mark on history. These RPG events are what drive the story of Ryzom, not the missions. This also means that each of us have the ability to add our own content (perspective) to the storyline - look at all the wonderful stories written in the Roleplay forum.
