So I've been a dev for an online game and one of the striking features of that was the degree to which the things were worked on as consistent priorities were almost never in alignment with what the players were generally discussing.
Assuming Alex/David are willing, would love to get a post now and then with a more general "here's how we generally perceive things going and here's where we might consider taking it" kind of thing.
While that can be an issue, the biggest thing the game needs right now is to flesh out the endgame. There's not much for the playerbase to talk about there other than pure speculation, and it's not like they can just tell us without spoiling it. So the playerbase may talk a lot about balancing, for example, but in the grand scheme "good enough" balancing is better than "perfect" balancing if it means that more dev time is being spent on content.
Still, I do like reading dev blog posts, so I would hardly complain if there were more.
