    Does nobody here know about the leave a suggestion part of the contact us which is in game?

    If you want to leave meaningful suggestions to the devs without going to the forums, do it yourself in game.

    If you come to the forums, because you're mad and you want to rant, you need to find another outlet for your anger then the internet. Maybe try going out for a walk or go
    cleaning your house. Something else other than getting angry at random strangers online.

    Leaving a suggestion is not the same thing as polling everyone. It results in the same issue as I said with the forums, you're only going to get a subset of players who are particularly bothered by something. For example, let's say there is a lot of people yelling for specs to be added to the game, the devs can see the suggestions and forums and be like "Hmm, lots of people want this. Let's add it." Meanwhile, if they had done an in-game poll, they could see, "5% of players want specs added, 30% don't care and 65% of players are opposed. Let's not add it." Forums and suggestions are a great way to get very skewed data from a vocal minority.

    Further, leaving a suggestion would be a lot of text and take a lot longer for the devs to sift through. A multiple choice survey would be rather quick for the development team.

    When I said, one is angry and goes to the forum, I do not mean they are angry about dying and vent (that does happen), but that they are angry about a particular design choice (like the relic quest line).
