Why not? It’s a meaningless response to reassure you.
The point she was trying to make is that any response would be interpreted as having meaning beyond what it necessarily would, and that there may be many posts of similar merit to comment on. So the simplest and easiest thing to do is to inform you someone’s watching but not commenting.
X/Twitter is a joke of a platform and activity there is intended for idiots.
I think you overestimate these people.
They also “listen to what the majority of the community is saying”. They aggregate feedback. The problem is between streamers, the majority of the community, and the minds at Blizzard there simply isn’t an awful lot there.
I don’t know how to put this but I’m kind of a big deal.
People know me.
I’m very important.
I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

They don’t look in the forums except to see who may have slightly said a censored out naughty word and take away their linking privileges.
It’s almost like that is Lyricana’s role “Community Manager”. I mean there was someone before them also…but I don’t believe that person is in the role anymore.
This is a tough balance. As someone who does HR for a living its a strong belief my opinion holds no value in the workplace. Talking to people is like being a politician you need to skate around. Often people may have a stright forward question which leads to a 20 min conversation with them no answer, more questions but they felt listened to.
lol this entire world revolves around wasting your entire life for a paycheck while selling your soul, shutting your mouth. everyone all your life just says to you “shut your damn mouth”. we become desensitized and brainwashed but the truth is humans should be passionately (but lovingly) engaged with one another about any and every subject especially these days where objective truth and genuine knowledge really need to regain a foothold in human discourse.
however the reality is that everything is tailored, fake, produced. from things as broad-reaching as major box office films, to basic everyday conversations. humans love fake stuff for some reason. its always about avoiding reality, wear a mask and dont let people see who you are, avoiding the big picture as much as possible. we do this in our intimate lives and also our public lives. been like that for centuries. “its just business” lol.
i feel like this issue is especially potent in the gaming ecosystem. social media and gaming culture is really 2 of the most destructive trends in the world right now. it always happens. you have a group of “outcasts” who find something they love to do then when it becomes worldwide popular it becomes just as fake as the rest of the world and all the people who participate in it. original blizz vs modern blizz for example i guess. all these crappy games are just a past time. the unfiltered, real, raw internet/gaming experience has been dead and gone never to return for like over a decade now.
at least on a broad scale more people are turning to independent media realizing that heartfelt, truthful, engaging conversation with one another is one thing this world is desperately yearning for, and is majorly lacking but i really don’t expect anything to noticeably change you’ll always have the 1% ruling the world and the 99% justifying their stances and actions by saying “i dont have a choice i need to make money” or “the problem is too big i cant make any difference anyway”.
Thank you for replying. It’s nice to know that things we say in here have a chance to be passed on and I know it cannot be easy reading stuff in here sometimes
The forums, in Blizzard’s view, are NOT for interaction between Devs and Players. They are a place for players to discuss the game with other players as a means of feedback to Blizzard. Discuss all things Diablo IV with fellow PC-based wanderers
The CMs will post links to available notification, articles, and events that are approved. Mods will moderate to try to promote an atmosphere that meets the forum Code of Conduct. That is the extent of Blue interaction we have been promised. The CMs also collect the feedback from the forums, reddit, twitter, streams, websites, etc. All that goes into reports to the Dev teams.
Many people want that open chat with Devs, but that is not what the forums for any Blizzard game are for. They don’t do that. The most access players have to Devs in real time is to submit questions to the Q&As for Campfire chats, or go to Blizzcon.
Their Twitter accounts are personal accounts. So even if they do talk about work, they are not supposed to be official.
I am not supporting the current model because I also find it frustrating, but I am sharing the facts about how Blizzard forums work, and what Blizzard views them as.
You are not going to get a live Q&A type thread here unless a lot changes. This goes for all Blizzard games.
I believe the location of the updates and information is inconsistent. I would love a place where I can see all posts. I believe this should be on the games website or forums. I do not support “X” or twitter. I should not have to scour Reddit / X / Twitter and the forums for information. They should all be in one location.
I got flagged for your post about the questionable horse saddle, I’m now a negative member. I get about 5 likes a day and I can’t link things anymore. Such is life on these forums.
