Public Discussion: Community Feedback - Is it being heard?

[MintnHoney]

I have a hard time believing that community feedback is being seen, even if it can be misconstrued that a reaction to an embarrassing display, which subsequently gets thrashed upon by social media and gaming news outlets, is "listening to community feedback." If, for some reason, they really are regarding feedback, then they are being very selective and filtering out whatever else they believe can safely be ignored so long as they can misdirect any malcontent from bystanders with shiny new toys or an emotional display or call to action.

I would expect that to be exactly what they do. They can't possibly listen to every single person when not everyone agrees and even when feedback is unanimous, sometimes the request is difficult, impossible or not a wise idea. Sometimes players are actually wrong and sometimes developers do actually know better.
