What People Want

So when it comes to games, everyone who has ever been to a forum knows that EVERYONE has their own opinions on games.  Everything would be better if they did this, that or the other thing.  The game COULD have been great if they just listened to everything their fans had told them.  The League of Legends General Discussion boards are FULL of people claim to know how to perfectly balance the game for example.  Either way, the fact of the matter is this:  people have no clue what they want.
