What that actually means is sometimes you do what the customer wants, for no other reason that to make the customer feel valued and happy. And happy customers, shown a bit of love, do a big thing for you in return, they stay loyal and keep spending money with you.
If you choose to go down a "we know best" attitude on this topic and ignore all the customer feedback it will be the culmination of 2yrs of ignoring us.
At this point I don't think it's really about the massace torni at all. It's got bigger than that. This has now become a test of whether the united voice of the player base can achieve anything. If the answer is no, then we finally lose all hope.
We appreciate your feedback and our developers make decisions that is based on it. But let me draw your attention to the following. If we let every player implement his suggestion to the game, this will bring us to chaos. On the other hand we have our own vision of the game, balance, etc. So the only way make Stormfall better, is to do it together. That's a reason we have a Suggestion thread. Thanks for understanding! 
Give us the ability to lay siege to Oberons castle. And Im sure the community will show its discontent in full glory. I see several times "this and that" can't happen because if you let the users have a finger in how the game end up there will be chaos? None ask for every suggestion of every player to get implemented in the game. If you take notice of the forum you will see the players give strong objections on things we DO NOT WANT TO SEE, or DON'T WANT WHAT SO EVER!
You have a lot to learn from CCP and their use of the CSM body. In EVE we had players band together and riot to change the direction of the game. It might be your vision, and your game, but its us the players that live inside that sandbox and play it. We spend time, effort and some of us money, and a few a lot of money (some people just doesn't know better I guess).
In the suggestions forum, there is also mentioned suggestions you do not accept. Over time I seen a lot of suggestions that would been cool, that flat out rejected. There also been countless threads over time regarding the same suggestions brought up, and then when something similar of it materialise it come with further monetization. Stormfall is like a road with a toll both for every 100 meters. "cash please".
We get it, its a "pay to win game", your free to play mantra, is just a "free to try" in reality. Only pluss with Stormfall is its less shamefull than the likes of DC LEGENDS, then again Plarium got mobile games too that possible just as shameless.
A game need content to be fun, keep expand the level of monetization without expand the core content of the game is the fastest way to kill it. You basicaly made BG's a waste of time and effort to do. A lot of the tournaments a shameless stab at get players to rev units for sapphires and the actual prizes to participate is just not worth the cost.
If you can gank some guy and harvest some nice jelly tears. Its worth a lot more than any tournament prize you got, and if you lucky the guy rage quit the game in the process. After all you can use his abandoned castle as a resource farm. The game is not set up so a player can bounce back easily because the vision of Plarium comes down to how big a straw they can put into our wallets, not to give the players a long lasting fun experience.
I played EVE since August of 2003. I still do, I sub for 5 accounts. Heard about player loyality before? Such an experience is what you should aim towards give your players. The Stormfall(Plarium) community is so venomous its cringe worthy.
