Has anything that has been suggested on these forums for this open BETA game actually been implemented? Perfect World Entertainment has a notorious reputation for ignoring the forums. Outside of a moderator no one is really paying any attention. Moderators are NOT devs. I have my doubts this game is any different than the other PWE games. Prove me wrong?

Plus several exploits that were reported on the forums were fixed.
Part One: The Fell Cavern (looking for feedback!) NW-DTWX9RBQH
Hopefully more to come!

On top of that I am not a developer but Sominator and Pinpointerror are both community managers and one of their main functions is to keep an eye out on the feedback and pass on various feedback in case the developers happen to not notice it. I know some of you guys consider Som's "Thanks for the feedback" responses to be a brush off but it more closely means 'I sent this on to the developers to read.'
The responses are kept short and simple to avoid any unintended message. When he passes feedback on it doesn't mean anything beyond that the developers will read the player feedback. It doesn't mean that it will be changed based on the arguments posed by the Original Poster or based on the responses of other community members. It simply means the developers will read that thread (and others he doesn't reply to) in order to gauge what the best course of action would be.
Some of the developers will post their own thoughts or behind the scenes updates on certain key issues if they stumble upon it but that is purely out of the kindness of their own heart. Be nice to those who do such as CrypticMApolis, Panderus and CrypticCliff. Their presence is purely because they care about you guys enough to type up responses often after hours on their own time.
Most developers will refrain from posting on any game to prevent any false promises or allegations of change. Simply saying they agree with an idea in the world of MMO's is often something which will come back to bite them so most choose to safetly refrain from responding or use alternate 'choob' accounts if they join discussions.
Furthermore while the Community Moderators are only players we do work very closely with the community managers. Our opinions aren't worth any more than any of yours but we do give the CM's heads up on some of the opinions and discussions that occur in the community.
In short Community Management is a bridge between The Community and The Developers. The Community Moderators are an additional bridge between The Community and the Community Managers.
And most of the changes made to the game do support this. You might not agree with some of the actions, just as I don't, but when I read the patch notes I read a lot of changes that I read opinions about within threads whether I responded to them or not.
RoE nerf to prevent huge burst spikes in PvP, SE nerf for the community (community whined about SE and while rogues' LA is simply better they've still nerfed SE), rogues' bleeds nerf (which makes DPS fighters more viable), numerous exploit fixes, GWF buffs, cleric aggro fix, GF aggro fix, now attempting to make gear BoP (while it's not the majority who wants it, just the loudest people).
