If I were a Demiurge employee, why would I spend time reading the general discussion forums about how terrible the game is, how we should implement terrible balancing changes by doing things like buffing every single character in the game up to Sentry levels, etc? If something like giving out X-Force as the Season 5 top reward can elicit such a negative reaction from the forumbase, why would they bother spending their time justifying their actions? They can't even say something like "we expect to release a new PvE by the end of the month" because if they did and it was delayed, then everyone would be crying about how they never get anything done on time, how they suck as a company and should die in a fire. Gaming forums in general just get really tinykitty once the playerbase grows past a certain point, and d3 really needs to hire a community manager to put up with all the tinykitty that people give them.

He said they do not pay the most attention to customer opinions. The reason is that customer opinions change with time due to they do not have all the information that they have behind the scenes and therefore, customers cannot (are not allowed) to see the bigger picture. Personally, I like how the 3 phases of Marvel movies have been turning out so far. The difference is customers are willing to wait several years for a movie to see the big picture, whereas, a game that people play daily want new content faster and a bigger pay off faster.
