Of course they are. No one is saying we should sue them. But it's a retarded business decision on their part, and we don't have to be happy about it. These forums are for feedback, and that's why this is exactly the right place to bring this up.
Yeah, that was kinda the point. Spam nonsense in their forums that they'll have to deal with, just to waste their time. It's the most logical course of action. Duh.
Fortunately what you think isn't worth giving two shits about. The issue is, that they disguised it as a vote. They honestly asked for our opinion. And they got it and ignored it. And the example in the OP is only one of many, although it shows quite nicely how little of a fuck SE actually gives.
If they said "fuck the playerbase, we know best" no one would be complaining. At all. A company makes games, there's nothing unusual about that. It's SE wasting our time by asking our opinion, then lying about it mattering which upsets us. They created this forum for feedback, yet ignore almost all of it. They repeatedly ask for polls, yet ignore the results of those. Another nice example is whether or not the level cap should be raised to 100 or 99. They went with 99, which I personally voted for, but the outcome of the vote was clearly saying otherwise. At least in the English forums. Then they come up with a bullshit excuse why our vote didn't matter ("because you considered the abilities you get from 50 sub instead of the level itself"), and instead of giving us another vote, they just discarded it and took the Japanese results.
It's not their way of designing games which we question, but their lie about giving us a vote in the matter. If they simply shut us out and did their own thing, or reserved forums for bug reports alone, no one would be bitching here. But this is very much bitch-worthy.
