What's Dev Corner actually for?

I understand the concept. Its a way for you to hear people's thoughts and show you're listening by giving them a reply (Basic good customer service). But that's not what you are doing is it? You post up the changes that you want to try out, get 25 (currently) pages of responses and questions, reply to some of them for the first 5 pages, then ignore the rest (Basic bad customer service).

I can't imagine your plan was to create yet another board with which to ignore your playerbase from, which leads me to wonder what it was actually designed for?

If it is, as I fear, a question of having the time to respond to them all then surely you can come up with a better idea than "just ignore them"? I'm assuming you have enough people in the development team (or in 'the know') to have each of them take half an hour a day to reply to your playerbase on a board you created to do just that? Or if it is all on Meddler then maybe you should look at having one persons role be communicating with the playerbase and putting forward the customers ideas/viewpoints to the team within your company and replying in turn with valid and knowledgeable responses (Your current moderators don't count as so far as I've seen they neither have any knowledge about your plans, or regarding the game beyond copy/paste statistics they've googled).

So yeah, as Title; What is Dev Corner actually FOR?
