Some ideas are great and some are stupid. I think the real only way get responses from players is having survey votes within the game so that the majority of actual players provide feedback.
They did something like this for the radar. Albeit, not all players fully understand their decision due to time played and lack of experience. I do wish that HTC could have tested a couple of other radar options or allowed to input ideas or create an Other category rather that it just be "this way or the old way".
