They may not be very good at telling you how they want to do something, but they are usually pretty good at telling you what they want to be able to do.
I'm often shocked how obsessed everyone is with "getting user feedback so you can iterate".
In my experience, users have no idea what they want and the ones that do are usually just trying to get you to implement their pet piece of functionality that will make their lives easier (usually at everyone else's expense).
User feedback is good for validating your design and feature choices not driving them.
