I have posted quite a few suggestions for EU4 in the last 2 days and I was wondering: Do developers read every single one of them or only the ones with the most support or do they read none of them? Because afterall, if no developers are looking, this whole forum would only be a giant thought experiment


So when are developers involved in the process? When a thread reaches 10 likes? Or 100? Or do they regularly read the most liked threads? How does this work?

They read post and if they like what you are proposing they might start thinkin about the idea and eventually will implement it.
The Disagree/Agree count has nothing to do with anything the developers might or might not do.
What you can count on is that even WHEN the devs decide to consider your idea you usualy wont be told before its revealed as a feature in an upcoming DLC to everybody.

I read through the suggestions forum daily, promising ideas are noted down for future discussion and consideration internally. The number of likes, agrees, posts, disagrees and all that have no bearing.

so when are you going to actually fix forts? or are they WAD?
