Oh I get why they made them. I just think they should have done them on GD too - for the same reason, since weâre going to have even more duplicative threads here 
Itâs better to ask for feedback to be placed into one area so that itâs easier to ignore.

Are you referring to the special filing cabinet?

You always could link a Thread from the CC into the GD.
If you want to have a place for FeedbackâŚ
The issue with dupes will always be there, because people are heated and just donât want to search for a topic.
Just like everything else theyâve done with the community as of late it felt overly controlled and insincere as an attempt to connect with players.

Well thatâs my opinion. After so many scripted Q&As and the blizzcons and also considering the forums have basically been abandoned for a long time, it seemed like another pointless attempt to âconnect with the playersâ as they keep saying they want to do in times of low subs and upset players. Best way would be make a good expansion and they wouldnât need a bunch of different ways to defend so many of their decisions.
This reveal they just did was nice. It seemed like people were very excited to speak about their work and I enjoyed it. Wish all the interviews and videos they have were as positive and happy to watch.
Deciding which posters can share ideas or discuss issues in their special forum just seems silly when you have an amazing group of players that have given time and energy in ptrs to give constructive feedback about the game already. They can look at any social platform and see what the community is speaking about.

They are trusting the Community Council to bring these things to their attention by making posts about them in the CC forum. I think the CC has done a good job of that.
Sure they could comb through this forum, that forum, wowhead blah blah, watch different influencers and streamers and form their own opinions. But why would they want to wade through all the hateful CRAP posts when they can have the CC do it?
I donât work for Blizzard and man, I GET offended by the massive hate in the forums. Can you imagine being a Blizzard employee and trying to sort through that mess?

I wish they had someone on the CC to focus on the economics of the game, I donât see any posts on that.
The only ones I seen are on Leggos and they are not far from your normal GD. Who would a thunk if you made it so only less than 30 people on any given server are able to run the entire leggo market there might be pricing issues.
There is still issues I think with consumable recipes. Who wants to pay 150-250 per potion. Flasks are expensive too. Feasts weâre dumb as well early expansion before mission tables glutted the market with infinite fish and meats. Try supplying a raid with a feast that uses 45 fish individually caught each pull.
Ever since Legion consumables have been a raider tax with recipes using to many materials for single use items.
I hope people playing WOLTK will take a look at crafting consumables and remember how it used to be. A single fish made a fish feast for a raid, a single gather from a herb node can make 2 potions. Recipes just used less resources back in the day.
We need the equivalent of a Blood of Sargeras vendor in SL.
Someone to take our spare Flux and Anima for crafting and herb resources.
We do have the ability to buy memories and memory crafting mats via vendor for those materials. The vendors are in Haven by the Inn in ZM.
Iâm talking buying herbs like marrowroot or riding glory. Or crafting materials like ores and silks.
Ah, certainly. Currently the only way I can think to convert Anima to crafting mats is through the Mission Table at the Covenant hall. That lets us get various crates of things and seems to increase in quality as the level goes up.
I think we were able to trade valor for crafting mats last season? Now it is tokens from the vault?

I thought the CC was a good idea initially - as the chorus was always âof course Blizz doesnât listen to GD, they get attacked just for showing upâ
So a controlled forum with polite thoughtful people seemed like a possible good way for the devs to start opening up.
But there isnât much interaction with the devs, more, but not much.
And most of the threads that have traction (that Iâve seen) tend toward cosmetic stuff. Very little reply from devs on actual class, balance, or game play stuff.

I also think giving players a status text in GD is a bad move.
They are just players. Just like the greens were. And that colored text tends to go to peoples heads - for or against them.

Green, white, gold, are all equal in my eyes. The only color text that makes a difference to me is Blue.

If Blizzard listened to content creators they would not be in the situations they find themselves in. All of their failures are due to hubris.

You could trade a sizeable junk of valor for like 10 cloth or ore but no herbs. Also keep in mind valor was capped for a portion of the season.
An anima vendor for crafting materials will flood the market lowering the costs of consumables and leggos.
Would you rather there be nothing to address the fact that until now we have had no real player representation (other than MAYBE community MVPs) within Blizzard spaces?
It might be far from perfect, but itâs a step in the right direction
I prefer my role to be less⌠obvious.
