I think it's also important to think about what kind of game you're making. In one of my playtests one of the players complained that ''there aren't enough powers''. The game was mortals against supernatural evil, why would there be powers?

But thinking about it, this probably was a hint that maybe the setting wasn't clear on what the game is about or that the player was bored.

"there aren't enough powers" is pointing at something wrong with the game. Maybe there's not enough for the characters to do?

That wasn't a very good example to be honest, because it's a moot point.
In retrospect though, it was a good point. The game was torn between ''awesome powers'' and ''scared mortals'', which was a terrible match. I expanded the powers and focused on different things and that seems to have worked.
