Considering that this was just moved to Past Events, I'd say they don't intend to give a response at all.

It's been a week since the announcement and they've remained completely silent on the issue. They have the time to move the thread but not the time to care about what is in it. As players, their silence infers that our concerns regarding this event do not matter in the slightest. And as players, all we can do is live and learn and realize that they will likely not care in the future. All we can do is wait until the next event and, in the situation that it causes as much disagreement as this one did, we can know that all we've said fell on completely deaf ears. This might be one of the most disappointing aspects of this entire event.
