Eh, I think a game like WoW that has been out for as long as it has, when the players say collectively, "Don't do this it will not be fun" and the developers/director tells us, "You have not seen the complete picture TRUST US it will be fun" and ignore player feedback/warning... Then, the first patch they remove or redo the entire system because players and even the devs in interviews say it sucks... Well, then players have a right to say the devs do not care.
For far too long stupid shit has been put into WoW or taken out after players have written 100,000 word articles as to why it is a bad idea/implementation, or even made videos with proof and all to just be scoffed at. At this point, from some things I have seen players have a better grasp of what is and is not fun in WoW and have a better understanding of the systems than Blizzard and its developers.
So yea, some devs and studios do not deserve the flak they get, but at this point Blizzrad/Activi$ion deserve all the hate they get in my opinion.
I still remember Ion saying that Blizzard is happy with how Covenants works at the moment. At this point it doesn't matter to me if they care, if they are willing to make so many bad design decisions and defend them.

It is Product Managers making piss poor game decisions.
