For those of you not familiar with this school it basicly involves nerfing your game into oblivion,ignoring player opinions,and [censored] your player base of so much they all go play WOW

I hate to say it, but game designers generally do know how to design a game better than the players. I'm not sticking up for the nerfs or anything, yeah some of them are poorly judged, but consider if the average player could get his hands on the tools and rework the game.
We'd have lvl 1 characters starting the game with capes and every single power in the game six slotted, with no ED. You'd be unbeatable and be able to one shot everything. It would probably be fun for a while but once the novelty wore off it would be boring.
The designers should at least listen to the feedback, but in general they do know more than the average punter about their own games.
