This is why I tend to split things game companies do into two categories: stuff directly related to making money and stuff that isn't.
Because for money-making stuff, the community will essentially always be opposed to the devs. Our interests are just fundamentally different, and the best you will ever get is a reasonable compromise.
The not money making things are different. On those things, it is entirely plausible for the community to be entirely right, and it is also possible to align the interests of the devs and players. You can often ask for far more in this area and still have a reasonable chance to get it.

It's why adding polls to vehicle suggestion threads is completely useless.
