And if the majority of players consider that doing *anything* on top of a tent is fine, then a criticism like this will be forgotten (which I appreciate is the most likely scenario, considering the OP's got about 8x 'Like!' atm).

Doesn't though, does it? I can't stand on top of your dumb reindeer suit and craft brown pants, for instance. I would, if I could. Over and over. But I can't.

I agree, but just because one is a priority over the other, doesn't mean the other should never be addressed.

I don't want to think of what this game would be like if Square-Enix took every single complaint from the forum and fixed it, especially ones as trivial as "I DISLIKE THIS ICON PLZ FIX!"
Getting kind of off-topic now, so apologies.

This is the only thread about being able to jump up on to that tent (and presumably a whole host of other not-particularly-solid things similarly). Not ten threads a minute, which would be retarded.

The reason I brought up my '!' experience (this was before quest icons were introduced btw) was to illustrate a past discussion. It was someone else's personal problem. I agreed with it, as did a hundred or so others. More disagreed. Presumably, feedback (if any) to Yoshi was along the lines of "the minority of people don't like this" and so the implementation went ahead. I would hope that if the post had got 1000 likes, it would have been brought to Yoshi's attention and he may have thought twice about implementation. That's why people make threads; to see if others share their opinions, or in more disagree.

No-one's suggesting that S-E should fix every single complaint from the forum, it seems bizarre you'd suggest that they should.

That'd be nice, yes.

No-one's behaving like an entitled brat. However, we are entitled to make forum threads about things in the game to open the subject for discussion amongst the community. There have been plenty of threads that I've read wherein I've initially agreed with an OP, only to have my opinion changed after reading the constructive and measured arguments to the contrary.

Nothing accomplished? A fair amount of the threads I read get confirmations from community reps, whether they have taken a suggestion on-board or already have plans for that particular element of the game.
