From my perspective, it probably does not matter. You probably don't want things placed in unrelated-forums, like me asking a question about bard songs in the red mage forums.

Since each person with an idea, wants maximum exposure, they take it to the most trafficked forum. If it's a good idea, that's a way to get the community behind it, since, while a red mage-main might agree that (example) thief's positional requirements are really outdated, that person wouldn't browse the thief forums, and they might not browse the battle forums.

Thank you.
It's not what you say or where you say it...It's how it's said that surely determines if you get a response. I don't think they want to get into an arguement with their customers over WHO's right about how THEIR game should be modeled and run. SE is still a private company. If they want to take (oh yeas I'm stabbing deep on this one) 20 years developing a new summon they have every right to... Balancing customer service with their own dreams and goals for this game is a tough balancing act to do and most MMO's dont make it past 10 years without buckling to their playerbase.
