Maybe we could organise a small party for everyone somewhere in Europe, so we can meet in personal and truly get to know each other?

On a more serious note, as scypior said - it's not that simple. As always, the devs are just human beings, prone to mistakes, real-life obligations and lack of time. Still, I'm quite amazed the group like this one celebrated their first anniversary a while ago and being able to keep working on a stuff as complicated as this game right now is, yet to keep their sanity.

Offering help is a noble deed, and I personally want to express my gratitude to everyone willing to do / have done so. However, implementing even the smallest bit of work to the current clockwork may have effects like tornado on a card castle. Since we're in this together for ~1 year, it's easier to prevent this happenening when we try to add something new, but it happens occasionally nonetheless. Then you can see 10 new bug reports in the "Bugs" section. You don't wanna know how time-consuming fixing those bugs may be.

It's just a small part of the global picture, read scypior's post for a few more. Eventually, if I may add my personal opinion: this team evolved. People joined, left, stayed, gone for a month then got back... All of the current members were forced to take a certain role (or more roles) in the team and change their way of working to suit the development in general. The team reached a certain point of balance, which is a product of hard work over a period of time and can be ruined quite easily. So - no - there is no developer's eliticism. It's just the way it works, and it becomes more clear once you jump into those shoes. You may say it is somewhat excentric, but it's just another attribute among many others one can use to describe the whole thing.

Solar:
If we had to revise our opinions every time some random person signed up to the forum to offer his opinions we would be redoing everything every other day. Players suggestions have been included in the past, they will be included in the future, but the only practical way of operating is Dev knows best (and it always will be, on any game).

Giemz:
So it's a "No, we don't want your help" ? :(

Solar:
There are plenty of people who help, what were you thinking of in particular?

Giemz:
Anything really. Currently I try to learn a little about 3d modelling but I am not a talented artist. I'm a much better programer then an artist. So thus I wanted to know if you need help in implementation of easy tasks that you can drop on someone and concentrate on core stuff like game mechanics.
