Oh look, another daddy Blizzard likes reddit more thread.
Man this is sad.
Wait, so Dead game! Uninstall this trash! is not constructive criticism?
This is news to me.
Doubtful, the community is never in agreement about most everything.

I have to agree with you here. Some people are really constructive and get ignored. Tbh im suprised doomguy got a reaction because everyone knows his reactions are just strange in general. Makes me wonder how if I ever have a serious question . How I need to respond.
I like to talk about artanis tho. But not sure if researching and writing about him is worth it

They posted in it already.
I thought my thread asking why you removed the damage taken stat was respectful and constructive. It provoked many constructive replies, but none from you guys.

At least a explination helps. Even if its not the answer we want to hear
(Tbh I think it promoted toxicity)

All stats do, if thatâs the reason itâs not a good one. I accept that may have been the reasoning why they removed it, best guess.

Exactly why I said that

Sorry missed the implication. They also posted in Dr. Loganâs fake out âIâm quittingâ threadâŚso yeah, canât see how that one was constructive enough to warrant a blue reply.
Some ppl here mix things up.
Just because you put a lot of effort into your thread it doesnât mean it is constructive or in need of a semi-official opinion/response.
Also, if a dev says something (outside of the delusional âyouâre lying crowdâ) ppl will agree with the dev and the real, constructive debate stops. If they want feedback, thatâs something they canât do, they canât show up as a pseudo, semi or actual authority.
âBut they could at least say that they consider certain Hero ideas just not in the close future.â They do that, and ppl complain about getting the ânot now, maybe, anything is possibleâ answer and created the âblizz-soonâ meme.

It was one funny one you posted, I mixed it up.
I feel like the devs listen. I posted this about the exp changes and they did almost exactly what I proposed. They did both of them.

Agreed.
And as far as I recall from a Blue post, writing responses on the forums is not apart of their actual job-time for the most part and is something they can do in their lunch breaks and what not. Which does not mean they can leisurely post; if they do write a response, they have to be 100% certain of what they write, meaning they often have to do a lot of research and checking up on facts before they write something, especially because the userbase takes everything they say super literally.
Also, as far as Iâm concerned, a large part of the forum-users arenât exactly experts in the field. They often donât know what theyâre talking about or put barely any thought into their ideas and what not.
Are the Blizzard employees supposed to go into a thread and tell people âNo, your idea/suggestion/whatever is badâ? Of course not.
And in a thread where there are opposing opinions so canât they choose a side either and say âThis is how it is, this guy is rightâ because the one that is wrong is going to take it personal.
A big problem is that people tend to hold onto grudges for something minor for life. Certain doomsayers were like that; they got silenced once âunfairlyâ (according to them) and therefore hate on blizzard for all eternity.
Another reason I reckon they donât write many responses is how even if they write a positive response on say, a Probius rework idea, they get barraged by irrelevant questions or comments.
âWhen is the next hero coming out?â
âCan you buff Malthael? He sucks!â
âHow dare you write in this thread when my rework thread is twice as big!â
etcetc. Which also goes hand in hand with what Karabars said; if they want the thread to continue with constructive and proper feedback, they cannot post in it, lest it derails.
Which is why we often see them post in the fun threads, as they dont need to do research or anything and thereâs no lashback. Although they do still tend to get barraged by comments. âHow dare you post in this fun thread while you ignore my EXP globe thread!â
Maybe one option to maybe alleviate some of the concerns of the lack of blue responses would be a simple button for blues where they can simply check a thread to show theyâve read it. Although that has negative aspects to it as well.

Wait, can his general still get xp by last hitting?
Given the way many people like to âdebateâ and generally talk about the devs , Iâll have to vote no for this. The devs might as well just give themselves a concussion. Itâd be just as productive.

Imo any feedback us constructive even if it is âillidan sucks, needs a nerfâ it isnt a great one. But still constructive.
I think thats why the angel of wisdom created a format to link as a joke

That isnât constructive to me, if it really such a simple âX Hero OP, nerf pls!â. It doesnât explain why, how or against who said hero is OP against. Whether it is pure numbers of overpowered abilities or too strong of a counter against specific heroes.
What is a Blizzard developer supposed to do with such a thread with literally no information, just a guy ranting, supposedly just after he lost to X hero?
Itâs kind of like⌠what if I said âThe Harry Potter movies sucks!â
Is that constructive feedback? Could the makers of the harry potter movies use my âconstructiveâ comment to make the next movies better?

We used to be told on the WoW forums that the CMâs didnât post in constructive threads because they didnât want to risk derailing it with tears and teeth gnashing about why they posted in this thread instead of that thread.
Same principle may have applied with yours if it was generating good feedback/dialogue.
