Well said. I feel exactly the same
I want to play a game, not learn ballroom dancing with the stars of WoW
Too Little Too Late
Yeah, they have.
And this won’t change anything.
After a year of feedback, they will look into suggestions from the majority of the players…and that’s okay?
To only allow content creators and the top 1% decide what we play?
Bull. Absolute bull.
it’s made of people!!!
just another carrot on the stick.
blizz deflecting their failures.
trying to create this illusion they will listen.
they have PTR forums that go mostly ignored
constantly double down on the dumb

amen sister
I’ll be honest, I just really, really want fully fleshed out, with their own race and class selection, city (Lodge) and everything, High Elves. Am I holding my breath for this Council to change anything? Absolutely not. I’ve heard the same spiel from Blizzard for about 15yrs now, and here we are. Standing in the rain on their porch once again, as they’re telling us “it won’t happen again, I’m sorry, I won’t do it again”…for the umpteenth time.

i want a new tree
I’ve applied and am tremendously excited! I hope to get picked, but I am pretty sure I lack some of the basic requirements (I haven’t made any guides or videos and I am only just starting streaming gameplay). Just hoping they’ll take a casual player who loves lore, questing, and the alt leveling experience.
I’d rather have content than a new race to peruse the content.
this has been long overdue… it’s time for new bridges to be built… it’s time for change… it’s time to make this game the #1 MMORPG again.
like Saurfang, THIS Old Soldier wants to save what he’s given everything in service, i will join the council and i will help bring back hope to the game, and it’s players.
FOR AZEROTH!
I agree. People absolutely hate what has become of the game. Even Zepla from the FF14 streamers bashes Ion and how the Preach-interview with him revealed that the game director does not care for us. He wants to make the game he likes to, it’s not for us.

If you’ve ever taken human phyciology on a basic level you’ll understand when someone feels animosity towards someone or something they tend to hold a grudge, in other words if when that person, or company actually starts to do good, the people hold it in contempt with rage.
Perhaps deep down there is a feeling that they will betray them again or so forth, there can be a lot of dense emotions burried deep.
Personally I feel this is a good step in the right direction, it is very easy to get on the hate train with someone who you feel has hurt or betrayed you in some way. It’s much harder to forgive. I’m not saying that I trust this 100% as they may not listen etc… BUT! It’s a good start, and instead of kicking the company when they are down, let’s try to repair and build back.
This is by the way coming from someone who felt very personally hurt by the company and who too felt feelings of destruction towards them, but at the end of the day, that’s not healthy for me above all things, and life goes on.
A year is too long, 4 months max then get a new council. Thats one of their problems, they change too slowly to failures in game.
I was a part of a player council back in the days of the North American publication of TERA, from En Masse Entertainment, and let me tell you what I learned.
- It can either go two ways; it goes well, the devs and CMs listened to us regarding certain issues (ie: gold sellers / boost and gear sellers) and they were resolved in less than a month, or completely ignored (ie: bugs involving certain cosmetics, PvP exploit abuse, rampant racist / sexist / transphobic / homophobic stuff that would pop-up in-game and on the forums by unscrupulous players.)
- Players will either love or hate them. The not-so-nice types will DM a person and tell them the usual “I hate you, you suck, how dare you be -insert sexual or racial identity here-” meanwhile the others were quite happy to see us in action and taking feedback and interacting with the community.
- Being among the community is EVERYTHING. You don’t have to be some popular streamer or influencer with 100k followers. You just have to be a genuinely understanding person with an open mind and open heart.
- It’s all about transparency. We would have meetings, speak with players in-game about what could be improved and what they liked about TERA, as well as some little events with our players (PvP siege events, new class launch-day streams, Guild vs Guild wars, oh man, those were the days…)
To wrap it up, most of my fellow council pals moved on to greener pastures, as a few moved on to working with GameForge (the publisher for EU TERA, and now NA TERA). I almost wished I’d joined them, but I decided to move to WoW as a player and hope to make it to the Community Council here. Doubt I will (low self-esteem kicking in) but a fella can dream about making a difference.
Nothing wrong with that.
Here’s the deal: You respect others and they’ll respect you. You were on a council before and things seem to go well. You’re not a dev, but you have a voice. If you’re on the council, you use it. Don’t doubt yourself because there’s no reason for that.

They LOOK at it.
They don’t necessarily DO what the players are asking/telling demanding, but they LOOK at it.
Just because the players make some big thread about something doesn’t mean they are going to react to it though.
I even prepared my inauguration speech!
I shall represent thee cows 
I don’t normally watch those guys but I would not be surprised at all if they made complaints about so much loot dropping in BfA that it was meaningless. It would be most likely be Preach who made complaints like that so that narrows it down.
