So I think whatever the current system is, whether it’s reading form posts (doubt it), twitter or reddit responses, it could be implemented more… officially. OSRS has this thing where people can vote for upcoming content changes. I don’t think D4 should go quite in that direction, but maybe have some type of in-game or on the website poll where players could vote what they thought about the patch.
It could be as simple as like / dislike, or list specific reasons players liked or disliked the changes. This might help devs get a better idea of what we want, because recently it seems as though they’ve missed the point with every patch.
