This is true, but then I also see changes made in the game that are related to the feedback from players, and from the Council. Most of the time the Council is not saying anything that has not been said already, but it just sort of puts it in one basked.
The new solo dungeons for example are something I have wanted FOREVER, and I am really excited about. I can finish so many things, and see dungeons and quests I have never seen. I think my only specific Council thread was asking for some sort of solo dungeon experience. They did not do it because I asked. They did it because many people have asked for a LONG time.
This was the thread, and I hope they do apply it to all old content too.
