This is why the current structure for replies doesn't work...
In the thread I've branched from to create this topic, the following situation occured:
1. OP asks a question.
2. I "Comment" and provide an answer to the OP's question.
3. Bungie employee "Replies" to my post and confirms that my answer is correct.
The big problem here is that the OP (and anyone else who might benefit from seeing an official Bungie response) is not notified of the reply to my comment... Only I am. Furthermore, unless he chooses to expand the list of replies to my comment, he will never see it.
I know this point has been beaten to death, but I wanted to include a real example to illustrate the point.

21 Replies in this Sub-ThreadI don't understand this feedback. When I replied to your comment, people could clearly see that there are replies to it (view the reply counter and the button to show replies). While it is true that nobody has to look at the replies already made to you before replying as well, this has always been true. In a flat view, this happens even more often, because there isn't an easy way to see all the replies made to you. This way, if you care what people have already said in response to your post, it is right there, in reply order. There are a few advantages of a flat threading model, but this is not one of the places where it holds the advantage.

A lot of people like to read Bungie posts specifically because there deemed more official. [url=http://www.bungie.net/en-us/View/community/Forum/Post?id=59779512&path=1]This issue still stands with or without replies[/url], Replies just amplifies this specific issue. Imagine a Thread with 100+ posts and 100+ randomly placed replies in that thread and you know 100% there is a Bungie reply in that thread(you noticed it in the newest reply but a newer reply replaced it so cant just go to newest reply link) How do you find it asap? Go though thread opening every replied comment 1 by 1? That's the issue imo.
