While it's not wrong to think devs check the forums from time to time, that's not their job, they have their own job to do, they have community managers for this and so do we, community managers gather player requests and feedback and deliver them to the devs, the difference being that our feedback has to be translated and there's always a risk of something being lost in translation.

Also a funny thought, many JP think SE only listens to the EN playerbase, while we think they only listen to the JP playerbase.
