And the fact you're suggesting that when you're managing a game, what the players think doesn't matter is just... I don't even know why I'd comment on that. The playerbase is who matters on the server. With no players, there is no server. If you do things consistently that angers 20 percent of the population, you'll never get anywhere. The entire job of the management is to keep the game fun.
Guess I typed that up a bit wrong. My opinion actually is that players should be taken seriously in most cases, but that there are things that wont go well if players decide on those, too. Also, I completely thought you would play WoW :P
You also have to take the fact that being a Graal developer isnt a job in almost all the cases. Most developers do it for fun and still want/have to do something else in their freetime.
