Does SE still have a spine???

I really would like to know, looking at the most recent "concessions" they have made, it seems to me like they have no capacity to say no to player demands, ESPECIALLY when those ideas are really bad or replace something that wasn't broken in the first place.

SE's current attitude about appeasing every single person who whines about something they hate in this game is like watching The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya played out in game development form, and frankly, I'm starting to worry that it will turn out the same as the SOS Brigade's film. (Sorry if you don't get the reference, but it was the best analogy I could come up with at 4:30 AM. If you don't get it, google it.)

There is absolutely NO way you are going to please everybody, making a game that appeals to both the casual and the hardcore may well have been the biggest mistake that the devs made, simply because these two opposing camps have radically different opinions of what makes a good MMO.

And so SE I beg you: Learn how and when to tell the players that you will not give them what they want whenever they demand it like horribly spoiled children, even if they throw a tantrum. I believe this game can still be great, but it'll never happen if you keep trying to aquiesce to every single demand that is made on these forums.
