Currently Ghostcrawler will come out and acknowledge that something about the game is bad, but players still have to wait for four months for it to get fixed (dailies, warriors in pvp, wintrading in RBGs etc. come to mind).
Take Skirmishes for example. Blizzard acknowledges that players all want these reiterated into the game. Now that you no longer have Arena teams, it makes more sense than ever to implement skirmishes so that players can play with friends without destroying their personal rating. Blizzard's response? Yeah, it would be awesome but we have no way of implementing that at this time. My own theory? They'll introduce it as a "new feature" in the next expansion pack, alongside with new character models that were probably finished six months ago.
