Has the Community Council run out of ideas?

That’s why you do a 80/20 rule, Community Managers could group some topics with similar root cause, that’s basic ITIL framework design and i’m sure Blizzard should use something like ITIL.

Just check for the noise, group up all those topics and create a path to resolve it permanently.

I think some people are under the impression that the CC is a way to funnel idea’s directly to Blizzard and have them implemented in a timeframe they find acceptable.

Kind of bizarre they took it away. Even if 90% were bad ideas, there were usually hidden gems somewhere.

Oh i meant threads in GD that analyze w/e the CC is doing like it matters.

Yea blizz should use gd aggregating as part of getting voice of the customer.

Problem i dont know if they like GD lol

Exactly this is what i expect on the CC, someone talks about one topic and there’s another POV because when i mention some rare drops, a lot of player comes to rarity topics…etc

Other example.

Love Rocket was changed on 7.3.5 to be available for any player 14+ to 98+ and they added that the minimum level will be moved every expansion 10 levels, that means by that “rarity” logic that if i got it after that patch mine is rare that a player that got it before??

Why keep moving this minimum level each expansion causing a lose of player progress?? because if you left during legion and come back next week all your previos max level can’t farm the mount that 4 years ago you could do it.

When they changed that minimum level, they mentioned that it was because players with multiple low leves have a better chance compared to players with few max level, however right now it´s worse because only players with army of alts that need to put a lot of mindless effort to level up each expansion have a better chance, they changed this minimum but not the 0.03% drop.

That minimum should be a permanent number now and don´t change every expansion.

If i were on the CC, that’ll be one of the first post because it impact me directly obviously, but there´s a community that hates this change too.

I won’t like to see implementation, but replies between members on some topics and Devs talking about their design, like with tier sets topic.

Yeah, the CC forum is fairly dead/inactive. And the “but it’s Christmas!” excuse doesn’t really fly anymore since we just entered February.

I take a peek in there maybe once a week, GD forum is waaaaay more active :laughing:

When I vist the forums I’m on the lookout for fresh/interesting threads and interesting posters… not stale/inactive “last reply 7d ago” threads like what I see in the CC forum.

Well… yes? How many people use the GD? Hundreds, if not thousands… how many have posted on the CC? 44 in introductions, which includes some Devs. It will never be as active as GD, nor is it intended to.

Not only forums, they promise some calls between both sides, i think we need a live Q&A before 9.2, we used to have more Q&As and not only interviews that are not even transcript into the forums.

That’s why players overreacted about Double Lego attached to rep with previous builds, because Blizzard mentioned that on a Chinese interview that wasn’t posted on the forums.

This has been talked about to some extend, with the mount conversation.

I never expected to see new ideas. Everything has been discussed endlessly right here. I think one purpose of the CC is as a filtration mechanism.

But a problem is that being into discussing things on forums doesn’t seem to have been a basic requirement. Thus they may have ended up with a fair number of members who aren’t into that and thus can’t or won’t be contributing within the current design as much as others might.

Ok i’ll check it, i read a little bit of it, i don’t know if you consider this an issue but please check the love rocket minimum level as an issue, players before the last patch of legion didn’t face this issue, it just lose player progress, it force collectors to level up alts again…everything for the same drop %.

there´s not a good field between players around it, next week there’ll be more post around this drop.

At least this is a personal, selfish request :slight_smile: because i really wish 10.0 launch March or later just to avoid level up 32 alts from 50-60 if i don’t get the mount this year, its insane compared to the farm performed before 7.3.5

I think this is right on. GD has too much traffic and trolls to inspire good conversation and meaningful debate.

I mean, going with the quote above, it’s good that the CC isn’t posting anything and everything they fart out off the top of their head. Then you just end up with nonsensical or negligible changes.

If they want more discussion they may need to increase the number of participants.

True, actually i saw some replies from members that didn’t reply on the Introduce Yourself thread, but directly into some post, i was expecting 100 players from day 1 and better Dev response time, however at least for me, it was launched on a really bad moment, because they’re preparing 10.0 video…etc and 9.2 release.

Yes they are completely out of ideas. You’ve figured it out.

thanks i read the topic, that’s the kind of conversation that i hope for a topic, however it wasn’t like the main OP topic, it was like a side topic that surge from Legacy loot main topic, i would like to see low drops, rarity…etc this hot conversation as a solid topic, there’s players that consider a skip for Sieg of Orgrimmar as a diminish of the rarity of some cosmetics, because they suffer the whole raid for several attempts, it’s like my example with those love rocket changes. there’s rarity in the game and rarity imposed by the playerbase.

I also just added to my QoL thread:

I’ll change love rocket name for X45-hearthbreaker i think that´s the name used now but for me its easier big love rocket, thanks, i don´t know if all levels but at least a permanent minimum so we don´t have a goal that moves each expansion. Actually when it was launched, you could spam it with a single character, not alts needed, as per playerbase perception that mount has rarity depending on the patch you got it.

thanks a lot Letholas

What dev wants to explain that the fun feature was cut because it interfered with the MAUs?

I mean isn’t that the main reason fun stuff doesn’t get implemented?

Oh I forgot ‘technical limitations’ due to lack of proper server capacity. No dev will take the heat for saying that, in fact they’d probably get fired if they were honest.

I don’t know if that’s the main reason but i think there’s a lot of things that they won’t say at all.

I’ve waited for better holidays events for years, compared to OW that at least has Lunar Brawls and rewards, there’s not any new questline, pvp brawl, worldquest…etc around holidays, WoW Devs have a mindset around the expansion and that´s it, its really rare to see them to launch a patch and also add a questline or something on old content, the most recent examples are the murloc pets puzzles added as secrets, but this game need to breath and provide content on the whole world not only the current expansion.
