Path of Exile co-creator tells developers "don't survey your players" because "'your audience is good at recognizing problems and bad at solving them'"

He emphasizes that while player feedback is crucial for identifying issues, developers must maintain their own vision for the game's direction. Wilson also touches on the potential pitfalls of player surveys, such as creating false expectations and optimizing for vocal players rather than the entire community.
