Has anyone from GGG acknowledged or apologized for the last few leagues?

GGG has no reason to apologize to anyone, regardless of how the game looked or how some individual perceived it.
Many frustrations stem from the fact that the game is free, therefore many players think that they can, or have the right to influence the development of the game as they see fit.
Stupidity.
If you don't like a game, move on to another one, there are a million available.

MOVE TO SOMALIA!

Have they recognized as much and committed to reverting or rolling back any of the many atrociously foolish things they have done to the game over the last few major patches?

Just wondering if I should stay gone.

Based on your tone and unreasonable expectations, I would say you should probably stay gone. You're not going to get what you want.

Did GGG do players dirty? Yep. Repeatedly.

Was it good business in most cases? Also, yep. They said as much. They know what they can get away with when it comes to their devotees and that if you don't like it, you can, as others here have made clear, always just leave.

So what sort of apology are you expecting? A moral one? Hahaahahahahaha okay. They played their last moral card quite a while ago. No, it'd just be lip service at this point. People want action, not words, as others here are also saying.

Public apologies to customers in business are much more than an acknowledgment of personal regret. They are an acknowledgment of a company's guilt, culpability and accountability. In some cultures they are the first move -- Japan, for one distinct example -- but in others, they are much more tactically deployed, seen mostly as a sign of weakness and undermined confidence.

I don't think I need to elaborate on why GGG falls under the latter, but obvious reasons aside, gamers are not renowned for their forgiving nature...and Exiles are, I would argue, closer to the volatile end of that spectrum.

"We fucked up, here's how and why we don't plan to let it happen again" is the closest you will get. If that's not enough, see above re: door and it not hitting one's arse on the way out.
