And the second you start donating for special features you run into the legal issue of them taking money for SOE's product.

Your post brings up valid points, but this one doesn't particularly apply due to the fact that this topic has only been discussing platinum sinks, rather than real world money sinks.

The reason I mention it is because while a Plat sink does wonders for our community, it does nothing to negate the fact that the dev's would have to do additional work for nothing.

It's like your boss coming to you and saying, Hey congratulations on your new promotion, you get to do X and Y tasks and your still getting paid the same.

Yes, but we're not the bosses, and my time looking through the posts already up in several forums has shown that the devs have made plenty of vetoes on player suggestions or player demands, so in the case of this particular community it's more like an employee dropping a suggestion in the suggestion box, then other employees coming to the box to start debating/arguing with him about the suggestion, while the boss plays Angry Birds in his office at the opposite end of the building.

Basically what I'm saying is we don't need to worry about those particular concerns in suggestion threads precisely because the devs know what they can/will or cannot/will not do, and have had no problems telling their players so in the past.
