Let's look at the responses of the most recent patch notes where comments were allowed:
"I wonder if the devs RP at work as cats and sleep 18 hours a day. Would explain so much."
"for 99.99% players wasting patch :))) we need new content :D"
"Finally new content. Ohh wait... never mind"
"Mistlands soon"
"another one of the 3 missing content updates we should have get already last yrs, nice! oh wait..."
"I guess the motivation to work lowers when you are a filthy rich developer."
"Wtf. Slowest development ever seen"

With such stunning words of encouragement, I can't imagine why the devs have chosen they don't want to hear it.

Got it, so they would rather silence their customers than let them vent about valid criticism over their product?
