I remember a thread here in 2023 asking for a better ilvl sync on Endwalker’s final boss so that the fight would go on long enough that the dialogue in the later part wouldn’t get skipped. It was a pretty long thread and I think a few months afterwards that trial was given an ilvl sync that didn’t make it die too fast. So I do guess that sometimes the forums are taken into account.

But either way I would prefer if the devs made it more obvious how community feedback is considered, especially with regards to job design changes since that’s the topic I especially care about. Sometimes it’s really not clear how community feedback is used, to the point where it can feel like the devs just say “we heard feedback about this” before making a change just as an excuse so we don’t get upset with them.
