Every once in a while we see a really cool idea or feedback that the mods tell us has been forwarded to the appropriate team. This is always great feedback. It lets the OP and the contributors know that their ideas have been heard and it has been given to the appropriate directors and teams within ZOS. Now, we know this doesn't mean the idea will be implemented but it's nice to know that the idea will be, at least passively, part of future discussions concerning ESO's development.
The thing is, these messages from the mod team aren't exactly frequent. While I believe the Mod team reads all of these threads I wonder if the Mod team is treated as a sort of "gate keeper for bad ideas"... like they sift through all our silly posts and pull out what they feel is the good stuff to send up the line. Obviously not every single thread gets forwarded. Just imagine how infuriating it would be if you were a dev and you got daily messages about an Auction House thread... but the request for a bartering system (or Auction Horse

) should be forwarded to those making the decisions... and we have no idea if they are.
If all feedback and ideas get pushed to the dev teams, that's awesome! It would be nice to have a canned response for threads that the Mod team can use "Forwarded to Art/Animation/Creative/Writing/Etc/ Team." If only certain things make it past the Mods, that's fine too. We're adults, getting a response such as "Dev team is aware." or "Will not be forwarded because X/Y/Z" would be fine too.
If this is currently the practice, should we assume any idea that doesn't receive a response from the Mod team isn't forwarded to the development/creative teams?
Most of us on here are here because we love ESO and it would be nice to know whether or not our thoughts and ideas are heard by those who are making the decisions about ESO. If they aren't and were just on here for kicks and grins, that would be nice to know, also.
Thanks.

What ESO really needs is an Auction Horse.
That's right...
Horse.
