Actually I take into account that everyone is going to complain for things that make it easier for their play style. The process of doing this however makes it easier for me to identify the full impact of particular users play styles from what they want changed. This then makes it easier for me to see how balance changes will impact all the players when compiled together.

In addition while most of the old players know that I already take the overall balance of many things into account (as the old version was fairly well balanced) however the new players do not know what things I have or have not thought about. So even if it is something I have already addressed or plan to it is easier to let them complain about it so that they know for sure that their complaint or view point is known and or being taken into account when balance decisions come in. While most of the old races are likely not going to change the input is going to be very important when I start making and adding new races and that will be when we start to branch out from the original balancing that we had in the past.
