I'm actually one of the few people in the blog space who didn't suggest a replacement to. I'm flattered you included me, though. :P

On a more serious note, though, I feel Riot does listen to a lot of community input, even if we don't hear constant feedback about that from them. They're likely far further ahead in terms of what they want to achieve with itemization, and often take it into a different direction than that of the general trend of suggestions, so it's not easy for them to respond to our concepts without revealing too much too soon or sounding extremely conceited (e.g. "This is great and all, but doesn't work because it's not what we want to do with these items"). At least in some cases they get to let us know why they were hesitant to implement community suggestions (a component for, for example), so it shows they do consider our ideas.
