You read my mind. It's exactly what I was thinking.
I would add that if they actually do nothing, and as you state the placebo effect kicks in, they can either say:-
1. Hey we are listening and acting, whilst doing nothing and silently laughing at us.
2. Our research shows that there is no difference, so for the present we will leave things as they are. We will of course continue to listen to our community , whilst doing nothing and silently laughing at us.
Bungie's track record of downright lies and evasions doesn't lead me to believe that they will be upfront and straight forward on this, so please excuse the tin foil hat. I will not play IB until the purported changes are made on Wednsday. Then I will give it a few goes on one character, hate Rift so certainly not doing it on three, and if, as a mainly solo player I am stomped on in the the first say 5 games will not be playing again.
I will also be staying away from normal Crucible until it goes back to cbmm, although I may play ToO as that seems to be the least problematic mode at present
