I wrote off the Community Council as soon as the Prosident fiasco happened. The sad thing is, though, I agreed with pretty much all of Prosident’s topics. He was pro-casual, anti-FOMO, etc, while many Council members are the opposite.
Another thing I am a fan of is the story, but the Community Council member who signed up to talk about the story is not posting. He writes a Russian blog about WoW, which he updates fairly regularly.

I don’t blame him.
There were. Even some of the bad ideas were interesting enough that could be tweaked and used in a different capacity.
Other my realm forums that was the only one I ever read.
Actually nobody has mentioned storytelling as a topic, lore…etc when it’s a big issue, maybe Blizzard won’t confirm if somethings were decisions from previous employees and they don´t want to follow that line now. But it’s like a really huge topic among the playerbase, personally i don´t like the transmedia between Books and Game, they did a great job with Talanji cinematics and then the story was moved to Shadows Rising book… there´s a lot of book elements that are missing in game and they don’t care about their own lore by removing Nathanos as a World Boss on the pre patch event, it triggered the cinematic against Tyrande, also the whole Burning of Teldrassil as questline removed…etc
Blizzard actually confirmed that they sometimes change lore for a character depending on playerbase response like Bwonsamdi and Denathrius that players really like these voice actors and characters lore.
I think the obsession with the community council and community council members is what’s keeping them from posting.
No one signed up to be a forum celebrity or a forum punching bag.
The Community Council should have had anonymity.
Honestly this it should of been this way
People are coming down pretty hard on the CC. I feel like part of the issue is that people want the CC to act the same way the would act if they were a member of the CC. Personally I would rather see members post about topics they care about. I feel this would allow them to create topics they are more likely to keep up with.
Right now the main problem with the CC is that there are not enough people to cover the different types of interest for people. There needs to be more people that care about lore, mount drops, fomo, pet battles, questing, transmog, etc. Right now we have a lot of different flavors of pvp, raiding, and M+ with a little rp. That is really not enough for most communities to feel represented. So it is not that the CC has run out of idea, just out of representation.
Honestly, one hundred members was never going to be enough. They should have gotten one hundred members for each category.
I can’t speak for everyone on the CC, but personally I have had very little time or energy to put into this recently because of real life happenings, and I try to put in a little extra time and effort into most of the things I’m writing about. I have several posts lined up that I’m just not happy about yet, that I want to work on before I actually post it. Everyone on the CC have their own reasons for posting or not posting anything.
On some topics not being covered, I’m planning to cover several of them (story, lore, questing, among others) at some point, and others might just not have popped up yet because there haven’t been any council members that wanted to write about that, yet. Pet battles being a good example, I think.
I think it’s mostly important to let everyone go at their own pace, and let them talk about the things they care about.
True and thanks for your post, you are one of the oldest CC members like first wave of invites.
That’s totally true and understandable, my thread is more about if there’s council members like you busy with real life stuff and other things , there should be others doing post, talking being an alive forum section and Devs too but they’re probably busy with 9.2/10.0, So, at least on my own opinion, it feels like a little bit shut down, since i was expecting some Q&A, call as mentioned on the video besides the forum section and i don’t think there’s 60-70 members yet, CC was launch too soon.
He was the voice of the people.
If they can’t take the heat then they were out of place from day 1. We all knew this would happen if you get picked. It’s a responsibility and not a welfare mvp position. You engage in the name of the community to improve the game.
While I do agree with you, don’t forget, you have been posting more than other people. Some of them just were active for the introduction posting and never came back.
Can Any community council member make a post regarding restoration of legendary questlines
WOD ring one
MOP legendary cloak one
I will be very grateful 
PS - just saw its already there. Thanks for bringing this up
Micro: “Why is there a special forum below the General Discussion board?”
Blu: “We need it for feedback.”
Micro: “Stop that. Just read GD.”
Blu: FROWNS
I hope to see a post about this with a focus on Lore events not being removed, BFA pre patch was removed and with it, the whole Burning Teldrassil / Undercity Siege Questline, we need more pre patch like Legion on which was focus on gameplay with invasions but lore should be permanent.
Shadowlands pre patch was a mix, ICC rares were Ok but by removing Nathanos now new players can only watch the Nathanos vs Tyrande Cinematic via youtube and not in game which diminish the effort from the cinematics team and it should be in game.
GD is the real community council.
About what? They are not the tabloids who just post stuff even when there is nothing to say. If there is news to share they will share it. Until then they need to keep their convos with devs not us. They are a middle man between us and them. Not our news feed
The game is in a slow spot atm. Expect light news from both them and Blizz till about march after 9.2 drops
We are 400+ replies in the PTR forum about paladin issues and have yet to get a response…
Could Community Council get on that? Have them ask the devs to please communicate with us over the feedback we are providing and addressing why they are all of the place with nerfs?
Best case scenario they’ve run out of ideas. Worst case scenario they released blizzard just doesn’t care.
Its because the WoW Community Council was a PR Stunt to give people green text. Just my $0.02
The Guardian Druid mega-thread in BfA Beta had well in excess of 1K posts by the end of beta. Never had a blue response despite other class threads having many.
If they’re not saying anything, it’s probably because they’re not interested in making changes. But you never know.
