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.
