The community would probably appreciate it if the devs more promptly/frequently responded to the rational suggestion threads (like Paul just did), and clarify whether they:
-Like the idea, but lack the resources to implement it
-Like the idea, and plan to implement it
-Dislike like idea (and describe why)
Doing so wouldn't take much of their time, and would build a lot of goodwill for the new game.
Let's be honest, replying thoroughly to everyone's ideas and respectfully devoting the time it takes to think about the implications, complications, advancements, how one would implement the idea, and any other important aspects, really will take a massive chunk out of your day. Afterwards, you get to deal with rebuttals or even worse, future reposts and the expectation is always going to be there for you to reply, likely to a greater extent if you make a habit out of doing so.
Just about every thread in this or the balance sections has a response from at least urist(active dev and item balancer) or myself (item balancer + ruining the game with animations), if there isn't one, then it's very likely that it would either take cmp(very busy) to do, or it's simply not realistic to try and implement.
It might be worth mentioning, as it has happened several times in the past, but irc is every but as good(pretty sure it has a higher success rate) for having a meaningful discussion and bringing attention to new ideas. Recently there was a post, or maybe a thread by Vodner(Saul Canner) about randomness in the damage formula. I'm not sure if I asked him to get in irc (I tell people this all the time that I talk to in TS or in game), but he showed up and promoted his randomness change and within an hour I believe, the change was committed(meaning it was ready to go live for the next patch).
So if you really feel like there's an issue that isn't being noticed properly try irc, and remember to be patient in your wait for a response. IRC is something most of us idle, it's not like a chatroom where you're hovering over the window waiting for replies(Do these even exist still?).
