I've played lots of MMOs in the past where players moaning on the forums have ruined the game, though I've played lots the developer has ruined them too. Star Wars Galaxies is a great example of both, the game was in the shitter long before the CU and NGE because of the forums. SOE listened to the players and just kept dumbing the game down slowly as people moaned it was too hard. The same thing happened to WoW to where Blizzard now tries to appeal to everyone and the game is a mess and it's happening to SWTOR.
So I'd rather SOE has their own plan and goals for the game rather than the player base. Just as long as they know what to listen to in the future, ignore players wanting changes for personal games like buffs and nerfs. Obviously don't put BFRs in the game if they go on test server and prove themselves to be broken lol.

Hell yes. Forum posters are not game experts. Just because someone has an opinion doesn't mean its worth anything.
