What would you do if you were the game developers?

The developers haven't made any statements indicating they will actively collaborate with the community. While attempting to do so won't kill anyone, it's still ultimately pointless. Developers are developers; they know their job and have plenty of ideas. It's unlikely they need to listen to the opinion of every fan. Moreover, there's no consensus among the fans: some want a more conservative system, others want more new features in the gameplay, and some dream of a new visual style. As for me, I'd like to see the local elves wearing stunning armored bras.
Besides, the developers have decided to shake things up a bit, and that's noticeable. Did you dislike the small number of resources or some other game element? But do you know how, or on what basis, the new economic system will work, and what goals it pursues? The developers have one very significant advantage over us: they know what the final result should be, let's say they have a common vision for the game, and therefore they know what needs to be added and what needs to be removed. We only observe individual pieces, without understanding what it will ultimately be, and therefore all our advice (undoubtedly given with the best intentions and for the good of this world) may only worsen the situation when "supposedly" considered.
And the fact that the game is taking a different direction is even hinted at in the title.
