Subject: Window for development versus delays for transfers

I plead for an announced window for development in which the devs can implement changes to the game.
That window should then automatically postpone all transfers by the duration of the window or by 24h after downtime, if the downtime was longer than 4 hours.
Also, each downtime, whether it's on purpose or undeliberatly, should also automatically freeze all transfers from the moment the game goes into downtime and postpone all transfers by 24h, starting from the moment the game recovers from the downtime. Nobody asks for downtimes or transfer delays, but should be able to act accordingly.
Say, you place a player for sale, with the deadline at saturday 20h (prime time) and the game goes off line and recovers at 4AM, then nobody is benefitted with that hour for a new deadline. So, each player should then have a 24h window to stop the transfer and put the player back in his / her team, for them to choose a new transfer time of their choice.
But for these points to work, Sokker needs 2 things:
1) Transparent devs who are willing to communicate with their gameplayers in a correct way. Staying silent is the worst communication of all!
2) A decent list of priorities on which the devs can work on. We need to have an idea what is and what will be worked on. And imo handling of transfers properly, with some kind of mechanism like I propose in this case is showing you care for the game and it's players. It's the least we deserve for playing this game on a (nearly) daily basis for so many years now.
I would like to think with all of you on what we need, so we can create a list for priorities for us, the players.
If they want to get somewhere, the need to listen and communicate with us.
Maybe it's all in vain, but at least I try to keep some hope. I love the game too much to see it die in silence!
About the priorities I'm thinking about things like this (my list):
- Decent communication (mechnism) so we know what Sokker is going through
- Auto mechanism for downtime, preventing low bid transfers.
- bug fixing
- ...
All input is welcome!
