Blizzard team is "abandonning" the community on forums

[Sieroa-1231]

From now on your opinions dont matter in the forums

I’ve said this in previous threads (months ago at this point), but it bears repeating: just because a minority of players ever even look at the forums, doesn’t mean they’re not valuable in their own way, at least as a representation of a certain kind of player’s experience I understand that folks don’t like hearing that a negative reaction from the forums was anticipated, and probably don’t like it more when they here us essentially say that we considered it an acceptable risk Support a Stream…

This Isn't Going To Be A New Thing Is It?

Forums =/= 99% of the player base. Forums more realistically represent less than 1% of the player base and have pretty well established biases. Forums are also historically very adverse to change and us trying new promotions like this. The response today was anticipated and factored into our decision making process

For people who are wondering where “negative” & “minority” came from.
