I suspect in most cases the above two scenarios are the same, just from two different perspectives. The players propose changes they want to see, the admin (usually) listen, and if they like the suggestion they implement it. The more experience the player has with the MUD, the more likely their proposals will match the vision of the admin, and therefore the more likely they are to be implemented. There will always be some players who dislike any change, and they will then blame other players for making the suggestion, as well as the admin for "placating" the players. On one occasion I actually had two directly opposed groups of players simultaneously accusing me of pandering to the other!
