You mean Maizou? At least he actually posts regularly…
But yeah, Void Elf pallies make 0 sense at all due to the lore. The rest of the race/class combos seem fine though. Panda Druids for example should’ve been a thing like 9 years ago - some of these race/class combos are waaay overdue
Have you considered that perhaps there’s a ‘severe lack of representation’ because in the playerbase as a whole, that section of players is a minority? If the CC was a 1:1 scaled-down version of the playerbase, it seems likely to me that there would only be maybe 4 CC members at max who were ‘representative’ of your interests. If you want the CC to be mainly comprised of hardcore players that’s your preference, but it’s not really what Blizz was going for when they introduced the program.
The thought of void elf Paladins is vomit inducing but I have a feeling all race/class combos are coming one day. I’m surprised it wasn’t a 10.0 feature.
I don’t get the push back against Void Pallies. Tyrant Velhari in WoD has already showed the concept of a corrupted Paladin is canonical. Her spells do Shadow damage.
It is already in the canon.
But this mini derailment helps prove my point :
I did not go to the Community Council section for this important lore discussion - I heard about it when it spilled over to GD.
The concept for this boss began with a simple idea: anti-paladin, or “dark vindicator.” What would a corrupted version of a draenei vindicator fight like? Many of Velhari’s abilities are a play on core Paladin mechanics such as (Un)holy Power builders and spenders, auras, and Guardians of Ancient Kings, with each of the three phases having a theme that parallels one of the Paladin class specializations.
The thing is, you don’t have to submit an application for your opinion to be ‘valid’. If it was as bad as you’re implying, you and I wouldn’t even be able to post at all and yet here we are. It’s just one section of the forum that requires an invite in order to post.
The Community Council forums are a waste of space intended to placate the masses and make people think they are listening. They pretended to care, and it worked for about 5min.
