As I said in another thread:
I doubt Larian looks at feedback and implement changes that are "popular on the forums".
A good designer analyses what the issues people have, and looks at changes they think would be good within their vision of the game.
Things like "Realtime with pause" is a vocal minority issue, and I doubt Larian will look at that and go "yeah let's totally change our vision for this game". I think they can look at it and see WHY people think RTWP is "needed".
One thing that comes up a lot is "Turnbased combat is too slow" or "not fun to just press attack each turn"
These are mechanical issues that can be fixed in more ways than one.
Other feedback such as "Don't make all the movement abilities into bonus actions" stems from other things. Some of us feel it strays too much from DnD5e, and diminishes the Rogue class significantly. I also feel it takes tactics away from the game.
Things like "surfaces" and "barrelmancy" can be tweaked, and don't need to be removed from the game. To me the issue isn't surfaces, but the imbalance something so huge adds to the pretty tightly balanced DnD5e combat ruleset.
A Survey is a good idea though, and honestly I'd love to see EA be a testing ground. Would be nice with a change being implemented, and people be allowed to vote on "was this more or less fun" sort of thing.
I have faith in Larian though, they seem to know what they are doing with EA
