Not once has anyone said that listening to the community is bad game design. Feedback is always wanted (if it's not childishly toxic) and play tests are to be bound.
The main point going across was adding everything that everyone wants or change or remove is not good and does not go anywhere. And yet apparently that's generalized into "listening to the community is bad game design"
If we didn't listen to the community at all 70% of the game would not exist. Some ideas and feedback were from new players that peaked the interest of a contributor (who you keep calling as a dev).
We've had many instances where things were added BY the community. Every contributor is part of the community. We've had bug fixes, changes, new additions from the community.
Discussions have been for the most part entitled as if you're owed something.
Please do not try to continue this topic further, especially when you're only resuming from a post that was locked.
Locking again.
