I think it would be nice if we could have some sort of player council where the players elect representatives who then work with the game developers and help prioritize QoL changes and development efforts. It is not an unheard of idea, though not in the gaming industry. In this way the player base would have a direct line of communication to what is getting developed for the game and what changes are desired/expected most.
I own a nationwide franchise and we have a franchise council which works with the franchise owners to prioritize what improvements go into the organizations ( Advertising, software improvements, event planning, ETC) and how the franchise owners prioritize changes they want to make. It works out very well. I was just thinking that the gaming industry could use some of that type of engagement and structure.
