If these forums are actually going to be used for TBN, that's just a horrible move IMO. First of all, we were promised that TBN will no longer depend on forums and all features will be available in game. If we go by format of current forums, then there is no way this can co-exist with all the same functions in game, meaning things like market will still more than likely be exclusive to forums.
So many decisions are being made behind the scenes that end up making the player base more detached from devs and staff it's getting wild.
Now hype is dead and majority of the community isn't even looking forward to TBN anymore.
If you're using the same forum for both games, it instantly makes me assume that we will have same shitty market with limited features, same outdated inventory management and all other restrictions that we currently have with TB. I think I can speak for majority here when I say that we expected a brand new game, not the same old system with a new in-game engine.
Market update will eventually happen, but it requires some time. I don't see any point in doing multiple tiny updates to an overall flawed system when it's better to wait until other updates are finished and make an actually good system instead. There are fundamental issues with how current market is organized which prevent proper updates to make it operate the way you'd expect a modern game market to work.
