you really don’t need that many posts when it comes to the community cause it’s only a few topics that ever get brought up and just get repeated over and over as this post here lets see now how many posts have been up about the council lol and basically alot them are saying the same things you brought up in a round about way.
I haven’t seen that mentioned anywhere.

There should be a requirement is what I ask. Or at least a name change so it’s clear
The reason for the low post counts is they are allowed to pick any of their alts with which to post.
Some people opted for an alt that isn’t their main forum poster so they wouldn’t get hounded by people that recognized them. Some of those alts might be people we see all the time.
I’m not concerned with their post count itself. I’m concerned about people introducing themselves (or not at all) and then posting nothing.
That forum is where we should see you posting for US. If you ain’t posting there, you’re not doing the “job” you were selected to do.

IIRC a CC or MVP told me that. I wish one of them would stop by and confirm but I would understand if they read the title and say “nope.”
Anyone who believed the community council was anything other than PR fluff was fooling themselves. Same with Ions interview with streamers.
They’ve tried this in the past and it was a big failure.
They should at the very least be posting in the forum. That’s my concern. These guys popped up in the introduction and never posted again. It’s a failed system if you aren’t kicking the guys off that thought it would be cool to get it and then bounce.

I don’t remember being told that in any of the emails when I joined or later by any of the employees. Might be different for MVPs. Their green text I think is account-wide, but our gold text is not, so you wouldn’t know if a council member was posting on an alt unless you compared pets or something.

Thanks for clarifying. I guess I’m just misremembering.
One problem is that it’s very difficult for members of the Community Council to identify anyone other than the people who voluntarily participate in forums. As for the people in the forums, Blizzard already knows how we feel.
Maybe they could send word out to the guilds and get their feedback but the casual players who mainly do quests, pug Dungeons and 1 on 1 PVP would be really difficult to contact. They probably represent the majority of players.

The CC members I’ve seen have been utterly steadfast in their own selfish ends regardless of the impact on anyone else.
They don’t represent the community, not by design, only by pure coincidence do your values for the game match up with ANY of the CC club
I’ve never seen one offer a balanced, non biased opinion on any subject. It’s never, “we’ll a portion of the community wants x but others are passionate about y” it’s always “me, me, me”

it’s litteraly just a reward for people who have never had an infraction. I look at CC as a complete joke. anything they say I laugh at. Most of them are LFR heroes that dont even play the game.

It’s been a bad joke since day one and the deer BS.
It’s a failed PR move and accomplishes nothing.
Anyone interested in partaking is exactly the type of person that should not be.

That’s a good point. To understand how the whole playerbase feels it would be smarter to do in game surveys. So why is there a community council to begin with
I mean you’re kinda rude to everyone. That’s not very inviting to talk

I once had a CC yell and insult me all because of a misunderstanding, now whenever I see them I just get annoyed.

I agree. If Blizzard wanted to make a hand picked group of people to have their own subforum, that is their business. But the name is almost Orwellian, when the community has no say or input or anything really to do with it.
Might as well named it: “the people we feel like bothering to pretend to care about, while the rest of you common filth can be ignored Council”
It is not as catchy, but it is more accurate.

because many represent their own community groups. doesnt mean they represent you or kow tow to anyone on the forums.it may mean they are guild/community leaders who actually do get in game feed back from people instead of forum trolls
