Q: Do the Devs pay attention to our suggestions?

A: imho, actions speak louder than words on this point. - though they do claim to read every post.

washer / sewing machine were user suggestions, nearly down to the graphics even, as was they're pricing
Yoyo Island and Gamble city i know were user send-ins
as were global villains, and likely quiete a few more

there are bi- weekly scheduled maint/upgrades, bugfixes and minor additions.
yeah, they're watching.

herozero is a huge community, and perhaps the 'new' idea you post has already been discussed in detail on another server, maybe not. i believe the ability to make the team chat window larger came from our kongregate server..
