In my opinion, it's precisely that sort of attitude that's needed if you want to push the envelop (which admittedly not all muds want to do - some prefer to stick to the tried-and-true). Feedback from peers and players is extremely valuable (perhaps even essential), but you shouldn't let it compromise your vision for the mud.

I've even had people tell me something can't be done after I've already done it :P
