This is good to know!
Really, the council should have all kinds in it, my name is in the ring but as long as someone like Mirasol is in, I am satisfied that someone who can at least relate to more of the common player is in.

Looking at the Intro thread in the Council Forum, there are some 
Including one new to the game as per this Expansion but who quickly got into the CE scene.
I am seeing some pretty diverse interests here so far. There are also people who are from outside the US and who speak multiple languages. More perspective is good.

And to no surprise the âcouncilâ will end up being a disaster. People who do not participate in end game content and canât even get aotc at this point into the patch should not be allowed to have an opinion on pve class balance whatsoever. The last thing I want is my class to suffer because of people that donât understand the game are the ones deciding its fate.
I read through the current introductions and it seems like a nicely diverse group so far.

Let me translate: Because people who donât play the game as I do are the ones deciding its fate.
The game is more then end game, he last thing most of us want is for the game to die because elitist pinheads think they should be the only ones to have fun.

I wonât believe in this council until I see people who prioritize things like leveling, professions, pet battles, and exclusively queueable content being represented. People who donât do organized raiding or M+ achievements.
Exactly how little do you play? If youâre saying this you must play hardly at all.
It appears theyâre going to be packing it with hardcores and streamers. Theyâll get together to discuss âthe casual problemâ and âwhatâs wrong with those people who leftâ. No doubt they will decide that the game needs more things like making the mage tower too difficult for the players who were told they should sub because they could do it for new rewards. And lots more elite FOMO.

It is literal common sense that somebody who has never done a single dungeon of the expansion, even on normal, should be allowed to have influence on M+ balance and how classes work within that sandbox.

What is âcommon senseâ is that if you fail to design a game for the playerbase you have, you will lose paying customers without gaining any to make up for those you literally drove away. Thatâs the problem with Shadowlands.

Well, you can read the Intro thread if you wish where some of the first invites have introduced themselves. It is a very very diverse group. I donât do organized raiding or dungeons at all. Yet, I am there!
Edit - link for folks who wish Introduce Yourself Here
We have multiple languages, countries, playstyles, etc. So far very diverse based on play focus and interests.

And you just showed that you are making assumptions. They ASKED for players from all playstyles, likely so they could get ideas for all areas of the game. It might be common sense, but no one said that those who donât do the dungeons/raids would put forth ideas for such. Like you said it would be common sense, but why would anyone who did not put dungeons/raids as an area of experience take part in those discussions, and not focus on solo content?
And this ins an example of the other extreme end. There are likely a few streamers, but big name ones? give it time. The only ones it would be packed with âhardcoresâ for are idiots that think anyone that does any raiding, any level of M+, any mid to high tier of PvP is âHrdecoreâ.
If there are 3 streamers, this is not representative of the playerbase, unless you have reason to believe that 3% of the playerbase are streamers.

Thatâs actually only 0.03% of 100âŠ
I donât think anyone is saying a pet collector should be telling anyone how to gear or design M+.
The point of the council is to have a broad variety to provide input on a broad variety of topics. Context matters. I donât play that aspect of the game so I might tell them why I donât, but I would not be the one to try to give balance input.
Nobody even thinks that. People are encouraged to give input on the things they are comfortable with and have experience with.

This is wonderful. I will follow your posts.
Put in a good word for the professions systems for me.

PS: Check activity to see why the actual nonsense presented is tried. You might have an insight that PROVES EXACTLY WHAT IT SAID.
See ? Told you it always work.
So riddle me this: why are they then a representation of the community if they are not chosen by the community ? Sure you can make up an excuse as to why Blizzard apointees will be chosen by a standard that not suites them better than the community.
While at it, point out the difference that makes a valid choice THEM to chose who represent the community, but when it comes to IRL representatives, it is âwrongâ to impose government representatives to representatives to represent the people, yet that they are âmembers of the the peopleâ.
Before you come with all that garbage people here is famous for, I am not saying I think the community should choose them, but it is absurd to think a chosen by the âpower that isâ represent the interests of those under its power. I just think ârepresentativesâ are a waste of time, because they will change nothing.
On a second thought, I will just ignore you because what you said does not argument what I said, it is a different point entirely, and more nonsense is likely to come.

Hmm I canât believe I didnât get an invitation.
As in my invitation better be given to a CE, gladiator, top key score m+ player than a doomsayer
