I think the question of 'where am I supposed to leave my input' is a valid one. Currently, whenever someone goes 'I have an issue with something that changed/should be changed, where should I go to discuss it', they get one of four answers:
- the Discord is the place where the most active discussion on what needs to be changed, go there to talk about it
- Discord is too ephemeral, make a thread on the forums, that's the only way to get good feedback
- nobody pays attention to those, go to Github and check upcoming PRs, then leave feedback on those
- the only useful change is the one you code yourself, code a fix and then we can talk about it (this last one most often by admins)
That's a lot of potential avenues of discussion people have to keep abreast of if they want to stay on top of everything, and once stuff gets actually implemented in the game, then they get told 'well, you had your chance to leave feedback and you didn't, sucks to be you'.
Granted, there's not much that can be done if you refuse to engage with any option at all on the basis of 'this community doesn't like me'.
