Having side-barred, somewhat, requesting that HT and company pay more attention to specific player's suggestions rather than the merit of suggestions, overall, (as I believe is already the case) is merely expressive of personal favoritism attempting to foster same of the developers. 
Exactly the answer needed. Picking certain people will generate a "Fan boy mentality" - meaning i.e you pick Pand, he would ask for a dozen more P-51 variations instead of other airframes (this is just an example of how favorism can effect in general).
I used to argue for specific things, however over the years I realized of every 1 GOOD wish that came about, there were 99 bad ones. There are some I agree with, and some I don't. HTC should keep it as it is and pick the ones he wants after all its his game.
Were just here to give our ideas and see what happens. In an ironic twist I've had 6 planes picked that I had a wish for in the previous years (dont ask me why, but things like C.205, I-16, Brewster, Hurri 2B etc) and i'm sure hundreds more asked for it long before me, perhaps HTC never read one of my topics I wouldnt know.
Anyhow the idea is to post, and make it count - post photos, documents anything you can get your hands on - it will greatly improve your odds of getting something looked at.
