Yes feedback matters, is it the building block of video games.
Does blizzard LIKE feedback? no, actually when we give them feedback it almost seems like they hate it and will go against whatever we asked for.
They value their own opinion more then any of us unless they lose money.
We srly told them to not do covenants in shadowlands like they did in beta, we begged them for months and they even come forward saying ‘‘lol no’’ in a blue post. They said it was to hard for what we were asking and made every excuse under the sun.
they changed it within 2 months of the player count dropping. Easily.
No.
Source: BfA Beta feedback thread, 5,000 replies - all ignored.
If it comes in a tidal wave?
- Sure.
If its a few here & there, or the odd screaming tantrum? …
- No … No it does not. lol
… However as for the base feedback media such as forums, chat-boards, etc — Sometimes one can unveil a realisation to the masses, or spark a great idea that ripples into a tidal wave either quickly or overtime.
So ultimately:
It’s relative on how reactive the feedback is, how its effects apply to their playerbase (like people said, sub-numbers play a big part) and how it would influence the subject (game, book series, tv show etc) overall. There’s been cases in the past where they’ve listened to one loud group, and lose the majority in outrage of the changes made; so directions being made with scrutiny & immensely carefully is understandable.
Depends on if who ever is listening .More than likely it doesn’t and does matter .You test it ,report and leave it alone for those in charge to make their minds up.
On a long enough the scale, usually. It might take three expansions though for whatever the community is requesting to study happen.
It’s why I think the community council is so weird and unnecessary. If they want feedback there is already a ton of it without giving a few people their own private forum.
If it gets enough traction or if the lose enough subs yes.
In the other 95% no.
Community council was a bone thrown to make people “feel good”. It does nothing.
Rogues dont complain so we get nothing good
