I agree with the general feeling of almost isolation. It is hard to tell if the posts in the forums are even read by the related dev team. It is unclear what the limitations are how devs can post if it has to go through some PR approval first or if they can freely post. If the latter is it completely optional? Is there a fear of player response (which can be admittingly scary) or is it not wanting to give a personal thought but then it being misinterpreted as a promise to add something?
In the original WoW community council post it was mentioned that “some topics may be started by Blizzard developers and community managers.” and I appreciate our community managers but I’d love to see the developers start more threads. I am not sure if it is because they don’t want to reveal too much of what is being worked on?
The last thread I could find started by a dev was this from Nov 2023: Rare Elites in Zaralek Caverns and Forbidden Reach
The last thread I could find where a dev asked for feedback was May 2023: Feedback: Mythic+
