If you get a customer saying they can't use your product without features x and y. you have an MVP, the point is to get valuable feedback, you could have built feature a, b, c, d and e when they wanted x and y. MVP saves you the time, of course customers can be BSing, so if you can get them to sign letter of intent or give you some cash to deliver x and y before you even begin, the better! If you only hit up a few customers you might hear such objects, but with an MVP, the idea is also that if you have a large enough market, you will certainly find some customers happy with it as is. If you reach out to 100 customers and they all refuse because they need some other feature, you're probably on the wrong path.
