They do send out surveys. Although I have the suspicion that certain people aren't on the list of eligible candidates.
Hopefully that is not the case, but if so, is my money any different from the next player?
I've some good news for you!
One of the additions to the EVE Newsletter around the release of Dominion was our monthly survey. Each newsletter contains a link to our latest survey as well as a link to a summary of the previous month's survey. The current survey is on the Buddy program. Previous survey topics have included the CSM, CCP's image, nullsec, sovereignty and the Dominion expansion.
You can visit our Newsletter Archive page for links to the previous surveys and their respective summary reports.

Problem is, how many of those newsletters hit spam boxes.
How many people skim though the newletters, looking for NEW stuff, and don't find anything and just delete the newletters.
How many people are completely up to speed and just delete the newsletters never even seeing the surveys.
You REALLY need to make it something that pops up on login.
Unless you guys are getting 100K+ responses each survey. And from the results from your last survey. You aren't.
* Dates: 26.04.10 û 14.05.10
* Methodology: administered online
* Sample: 2,600 completed surveys
2600? You're basing your game changing ideas on 2600 survey results?
Sorry, but that's not a large enough sampling of the playerbase to be basing such changes on.

How about discussing the topic instead of the poster for a change. Sadly, no dev has replied but rather allow the topic be thrown to the trolls.
You want every minor changed to be approved by the EVE player base?, and you can't understand why the developers are ROLF at you ridiculous post?

No gaming company in the world is stupid enough to base any gameplay ideas on survey results. CCP isn't sending them out to ask your permission for anything, and the results are barely a blip on the development radar. They exist as FEEDBACK. Maybe you should figure out what that word means before whining.

In Eris' post in the widescreen thread, she mentioned that it was removed basically because they couldn't be bothered to maintain it. She seemed to recognise that players often use features in a way the development team do not necesarily recognise. If they were to send out something along the lines of "hey, we're looking at removing x,y,z, please let us know if you feel this will severely impact your experience and why."
That could give them some ideas on providing workarounds or such.

You'll discover it's conceptual silliness.
"Its."
I used "it's" as a contraction of "it is". While your usage could be used correctly, I preferred my own and it's an appropriate usage.

Changes that affect the way the user interacts with the game is not a minor change IMO.
It's the equivalent of say, removing mouse support and only allowing keyboard input. Now that would suck, wouldn't it? Yet it's a minor change, no?

you are assuming that all eve players participate in the forums, which is not the case.
On a day to day basis you are correct in that several devs have mentioned that the actual number of active eve players who regularly post or lurk is phenominally small and around the .005% mark of the subscriberbase. However that isn't the case for when something gets changed that a large portion of the playerbase feels should not have been changed. Then you will see the hundreds or even thousands of players piling into a thread to flame and rage which in turn gives a good indication that maybe the change was not the best. Though it usually never matters in the end as ccp just goes on and does what they want to do anyways. 
300,000 accounts, about 5-7 percent of males, but only 0.5 percent of females, are color blind in some way or another. Figure that most gamers are most likely NOT color blind, with a much smaller percentage of gamers that are compared to the average percentage listed above.
if 5% of eve players were colorblind the number of color blind players potentially effected by this change would be aprox 1500 players (I sure hope my math is good, I suck at math). Figure of that 1500 there are several who suffer mild CB, and are not as badly effected. now figure that a percentage of them never even realized what the wide screen was or did.
Cost effective to support probably less than 1k people who actually needed and used it? versus 299,000 people who don't? Not really.
*edited to add link to data for color blindness in the population.
300000 x 0.05 = 15,000.
8% of males are colour blind and 0.5% of females. So really, 4.25% of players are colour blind. It's also important to note that colour blind people MIGHT be less inclined to play games than non colour blind people.
So the actual number is:
300000 * 0.0425 = 12750.
Which is a significant number of players, if by chance, colour blind players formed a colour blind corp, it would be almost 3 times as big as IT, the biggest alliance by member size.
tl;dr FEAR COLOUR BLIND GAMERS
