I'll answer your question with a question: How do you, and SE, know that a suggestion offered here won't improve the experience or attract new customers if they don't try?



The people making suggestions, TRUE suggestions to improve the game and not just complainers(yes, they are not the same thing) are people who LOVE this game and want it to last.

Smashing your face against the same wall stops being fun pretty damned quickly. Chasing the same carrot forever, without SE even trying to make it seem different, is going to kill the game a hell of a lot sooner then you, or apparently they, realize.

The amount of people being tired of the same shit, and coming to the forums to criticize that fact, has increased since the expansion. That is not a good sign

I want this game to succeed. I want to play it for the next decade, like I played XI for a decade. I won't if SE keeps giving me the same damn carrot every 3-6 months. I am not the only one.
Sorry, burden of proof. If you want something changed, you have to give evidence that it would be an improvement and that the majority would like it. The shifting of the burden of proof just because you can't isn't an argument. Plus, they have a market research team for a reason. That's their entire job is to research reactions from the demographic.

We have evidence that the current system works: 4,000,000+ players. You may not be personally pleased by aspects, but you can't please everyone. As a business, their goal is to please the largest number of people they can, which often means upsetting the minority.

The forums are never, never, ever a valid or reliable source for anything. For one, it's only an extremely small number of the total population that post here. For two, people come to forums to complain, not to praise. The people happy with the game are playing it and if they have nothing to complain about, are far, far less likely to come to the forums. This is why the forums for every game are filled with negativity and trolls. Because people are loudest when they are upset and want to complain.

So yeah, the fact you see complaints on the forums is no surprise at all, and no indication that anything needs to be changed.
