You forgot to mention the idea of dumping unwanted cargo.

Except they just automatically assume that we don't want the lesser cargo and dump it.
What about the guild requests being blocked?
Wasn't that idea posted here?

What about booting other "pirates" from your ship.
So far we've only seen it in SvS.
We wanted the kraken.
It seems like in a way, we got it.
They did create Call of the Kraken right?
Perhaps, they'll eventually add it into the game, if so, not anytime soon.
More clothes and tattoos?
Is that considered the Holiday "Outfits and Tattoos" by Disney?
The Fleets?
That might not be as "great" as everyone thinks.
But it all depends on opinion.
It seems like they don't give us exactly what we want.
But they do give it to us, in a way.
Some of the "bigger" ideas may never get onto test, if they do, it would probably be on Dec. 21, 2012. The end of the world caused by Disney giving us brand new content that we've been wanting for years. Hurray.
A little off topic, but I made my point.
And to answer your question, yes, they probably do read the forums.
