How do you submit game play ideas to Blizzard, anyways? Like, proper?
GD forums, Reddit (occasionally) and Twitter (Occasionally), Mmo Champ.
Anything through, like emails, will be discarded as unsolicited submission.
The best thing to do is post on MMOChamp, maybe GD/Class and reddit, although, expect to have your ideas praised and burned at once. Which is good, cause more solid the idea, the more it can be broken, rebuilt and grow and gather attention. So be prepared to build multiple drafts of said idea.
It is difficult, but not unheard of for player ideas to appear in game. As well, Refrain from posting ideas on Sunday in GD.

Its definitely not the wow forums at all. The forums gets ignored big time. The Forums is full of trash and garbage. All constructive ideas get buried in the garbage.
The suggestions forums don’t exist and hasn’t been since 04 forums of wow.

Game companies don’t like it when you give them free ideas,
and here is why by Mark Kern, former WOW developer

Honestly , don’t bother , they won’t listen to them. It’s not that they don’t want to get sued as video above states … they honestly just don’t care about your idea or you

Write them on a piece of paper, and then flush them down the toilet. That’s the best option for getting blizurd to see and care about your ideas.
If you open the in game menu, click help and then towards the bottom left there’s a tab for the suggestion box.

There is really only one proper way, where they actually see it for sure:
In game, you hit where you go to system/whatever.
Help.
Make suggestion.
It is also really the easiest. You don’t have to go to some other forum, twitter, etc. You don’t have to worry about competing with other people, in a noise to content ratio.
The least amount of players seem to know about this feature; I did not find out it existed until Legion!
Yes, actually it is.
No they don’t. Just because they don’t implement your idea into the game doesn’t mean they aren’t paying attention.
If we removed the fake outrage threads most of the threads would be decent.

Actuallly no cause the forums is full of garbage and trash threads like. “Rate the mog above you” or “this game sux” or “fix this garbage blah blah blah.”
Internet trolls are like sharks cause this trash chums the water and they can’t help themselves but to take a bite out of the bloody meat being thrown in.
Real constructive suggestions that get made get buried in the bloody water and troll sharks feasting on chummy garbage being tossed in.

Do you do your part to report these trolls to help clean up the forum?
If it is total garbage yes.
My point there is no official Suggesions slot in the forums. GD is not suggestions it is a place for ingame chat and talk about crap anyway.
The official stance on forum suggestions is that they should be posted to the subforum that most closely matches what the suggestion is about. GD is the catch-all for everything else.
Yeah, they’ve made it pretty clear that they don’t listen to feedback because they can’t tell what’s a good idea and what’s crazy.
That, and they delete beta feedback and then claim they never received it.
Regardless of how people feel about that, the takeaway is that their suggestion bin is more like a paper shredder than a mailbox.

And how do they know what your going to suggest. If I suggested they change there minds on player housing where would that slot go to?
It’s kind of creepy when some people make “suggestions” for games, typing in the same awkward way that they speak…
players ideas are constantly incorporated into the game.
i don’t know if you even watched the video you linked, but pay careful attention to this part:
…exactly the same thing applies to this forum.
Once “your” ideas are out there, they’re no longer “your” ideas.

If you cant find a way to send your things to a company, maybe you should not share what you want to share.
Also, why give your ideas, you could sell them.
File a patents, get money.
Go to school, study game design, sign on as a freelance coder, work with several game companies in your after school hours, graduate, return to the workforce, accumulate experience, make friends and network, start up your own business, make an independent brand and game, gain recognition for your work, apply to Blizzard, nail the interview, work the bullpens, get promoted, continue working at Blizzard, accrue dependability and good teamwork, get assigned as a project lead for a game, prepare a proposal, set the meeting and then just pitch it.
You should have all of that done by 2036! Yay for you!
