I've never seen an online game ruled by a committee that did any good at all. I do think that the player base has contributed many useful ideas over the years that would really be simple to implement that have been completely ignored by HTC. Simple experiments with some arena settings - like the size of the dar rings, hardness of ammo bunkers, lethality and accuracy of ack, hardness of HQ, etc. -- plenty of good ideas out there that could be tried for a week or two and then see if the player base likes it.
