I trust SE they have earned my trust with years of quality games. While i may have not liked every game, each one of the games has been a quality product.
When i played FFXI for well over 9000 hours, i had my complaints and things that made me pull my hair out, i also had things i really liked. The point is, it is just a matter of taste for many things, bugs get prioritized on how many people it is effecting.
SE use common sense, they have the numbers to make intelligent choices. I trust them to do what is right. I just hope the game turns into something i will continue to like.

People on the forums however, it is all opinion be it their own or one passed on from another person. We don't have figures, we only have our experiences and the experiences of the small percentage of people who talk on various forums and the people we know in game. Yet people carry on like they know what is right for the game. forum users know what is more important to them, not what is right for the majority.
