This social site potentially opens opportunities for community contribution to the ideas cycle for the DLC team. Has Bioware considered something of this? How it might work? Whether it is something that bioware is even interested in considering?
[Question to BioWare] Is there going to be a way to submit quest ideas to DLC team?

We do often get inspiration for ideas from the forum. With so many people talking about so many things, it would be difficult to not be influenced at all by our community. But you shouldn't expect to do the job of a game designer/writer and getting your ideas into a game without, well, becoming a game designer/writer. That's just not how our community/developer relationship works.
You can feel free to talk about ideas and suggestions you have, though. Remember that game designers/writers are professionals who are paid to come up with and develop story ideas all the time. Note the "develop" part of the process. Anyone and everyone has cool and fun ideas, but developers have to expand on them and make them usable as part of a game, and that takes a lot more time and work than simply posting on a message board. So if you ever want to definitely see something you created get into a game, it's a good idea to look into becoming a developer yourself, either as part of a mod team or studying for a new career.
