I don't really know about this emailing thing... do people really want game design run by committee?

I mean, UI changes is one thing. Fundamental mechanics, I might rather leave that to the devs personally.

Feedback on tweaks sure, like there was for maintenance times. You don't email players to see if there should be or not be maint. times.

You take things into account when a segment of the population isn't satisfied but at the end of the day, we all bought the game from NG, not AcmePlayerDecidingClusterF Company.
