There are thousands of servers that emulate this, creating one then using a newly found community council to promote it, even as far as making your own thread about it is pretty absurd.
If you want to get information about what bugs the players of World of Warcraft, maybe you could start to view these forums a little bit more frequently (Like Blizzard easily could have without the creation of the CC in the first place).
And I do, and I made the Discord for that very reason. I’d say I got a pretty firm understanding of PvP (aside a bunch of other things) in the game, but there are also a bunch of things I don’t know fully enough. But besides all that, it’s just yet another place where people can talk, and it’s already proven itself to be a boon, however small.
It is funny how a common trace in this threads is to make sure everyone understands that the “community council is doing nothing wrong”.
Well, no one is showing any sign they are doing something good either.
open up his twitter - there’s your advertisement. It was a sneaky way to advertise.
If you actually go through his twitter timeline too - 90% straight advertisement in case you missed it on their profile. BORING. Looking for the carry advertisments 
86 followers…lol (and some of that is CC members too).
yes but you still have a twitter link in there and that has advertising all over it - anyone can post on this forum, why you would think people should discuss the game on a different site is beyond me.
I think they may honestly believe this to be true. However, the makeup is unlikely to be representative of the playerbase, given blizzard’s longstanding disrespect for anyone less than high achievers.
In any case, even if anything meaningful comes out of it it would take years to translate this into changes to the game.
If they want an understanding of why so many players have left the game, they’re going to have to seek out and interview a random sample of those people. They can’t get the information on why those people quit from people who are happily playing the game now.
Well,after that one discord discussion here ,guess what? Another appeared. Nothing any different than GD.
As a member ask yourself if 2 out of 3 players would think an idea is good. If the answer is no its probably a bad idea and doesn’t warrant discussing. Keep your ideas simple, some seem to have written too much like a chapter of a book.
Let this be a lesson to all “streamers”:
If you feel that you have to advertise your Twitch stream, then your stream sucks. If your stream was actually good, you would naturally accumulate viewers overtime without having to tell people, “Hey, I’m a streamer!”
Not anymore, a search of the word ‘Twitch’ turns up no results.
Also, if I’m being perfectly blunt, if a council member is a streamer, and that’s what they’re known for, then saying they are a streamer and linking their twitch stream is fine. It’s not like they’re randomly advertising in other threads discussing serious issues, it’s literally the ‘introduce yourself’ thread.
he still have his twitter address in there and his twitter feed is almost solely advertising his twitch content away, so the advertising is still there just not as obviously.
if he isn’t a ‘known’ streamer and this person isn’t, then it is just advertising. A known streamer doesn’t need to link their twitch stream.
Again if that’s what they do, then they’re more than welcome to mention it in the ‘introduce yourself’ section. That’s literally what it’s there for.
If I was a streamer and I was on the council I can guarantee you I’d mention my twitch stream in my introduction post, because it’s what I do.
lol, well of course you would but to other people that position isn’t about what advantages they can get.
No it doesn’t. The discussion should be taking place in that forum. Not on someones twitch stream, not on someones discord… (which is another post)
It’s not about getting advantages for themselves.
It’s about introducing themselves and telling folks what they do.
You’d have a point if they were creating random threads in the community council forum promoting their twitch stream. At that point they’re clearly not engaging in the actual discussions and they’re just using their position to get something out of it. But in the introduce yourself thread, the goal is to, amazingly, introduce yourself and tell people who you are, what you’re potentially going to be focused on within the council and what you do or have been doing.
I mean, if you’re a manager at McDonald’s you wouldn’t tell people to go buy the latest McRib when introducing yourself in the Community Council
You can tell people you stream on Twitch. You don’t have to tell people what your Twitch channel is. If people are interested, then they can ask for it outside of the forum.
Not the same thing and you know that.
Although if I was to use the McDonalds comparison, it would be like someone introducing themselves as a McDonalds worker and some idiot on the forums going into a rant about how, because they mentioned that they’re a McDonalds worker, that they’re somehow advertising McDonalds.
You can tell people that you stream on Twitch. You don’t have to plug your Twitch channel. That is advertising.
Again it’s an introduce yourself thread.
That’s literally the point of the thread.
Come back and whinge when they start plugging their twitch stream in other threads rather than engaging in actual discussions.
Again lol. You can tell someone you’re a clothes designer. You don’t have to give them a link to your online store.
