If by sanctimonious babble you mean 100% correct, then yes. Game design should be in the hands of game designers, not left up to the whims of a majority who can't even agree on the most minor of details, much less stuff that can make or break a game.

If I meant he/she was correct I would have stated it as such. "Whims" my arse, there was nothing whimsical about the polls and the direction people wanted the game to head in. The data collected was very acute. That said, sure I'd be more comfortable leaving it in thegame designers hands completely if they didn't botch the game up so badly its running on fumes. Nor would I mind so much if FF11's crew wasn't so notorious for never listening to the fan base about anything. Sorry, they don't come even close to deserving total unfettered control to the extent we shouldn't have some kind of say in a game and battle system that is so bad its become part of the online joke culture; regardless if its a new team or not.

Make or break the game? Maybe when you get a job to some kind of enlightening level you'll understand the game is broke. Unless of course you consider a game that cost hundreds of millions to make has only poultry 33k in users a success. Heres a hint: You know why the game is broke? Because they refused to listen to anyone in beta or the other myriad of voices saying this game will not work.

If I can have a say in what direction they want to go in you better believe I want to voice my opinion. Perhaps you don't get that fine line between having a say of direction Vs "game design". No on on these boards is going to be designing anything any time soon, but we should have some kind of insight in a game they admit themselves is broken.
