Pathfinder change...a small victory but still a loss in terms of feedback

Nice Win for the game, new / returning players, players with accessibility restrictions.

However; Did you think about all the threads done before this happened?

What’s the point of PTR, Community Council feedback tools? if this kind of issues reach the point of an official announcement.

Improve the communication channels with players and avoid this kind of issues before happened.

They would probably have to start by moderating the forums better.

A dev going through here for feedback would be like taking a piss firehose to the face.

Agree, there’s a lack of moderation and probably that leads to a lack of attention to all these feedback threads, which are ractically duplicate topics in different forum sections.

The worst argument is that dragon riding is free.

One of the flight modes is a core part of the gameplay of this expansion. The other is not. Apples and oranges. We’ve had pathfinder forever.

I’d rather them keep the 15 rank rep restriction and quit pandering.

Well it’s something. Good luck to everyone who wants this

Theoretically that’s what the community council was supposed to be a buffer for.

Clearly they aren’t paying any more attention to that, though.

Am i missing something? They thanked everyone for their feedback and iterated on it? What are you upset about now?

And it should’ve NEVER existed in the first place.

I think its failure is a clear demonstration that a council is not a replacement for good moderation.
I never expected much to come from it.

I’m just pointing to all the feedback ignored, if we didn’t do 400+ comments in their official announcement, that change wouldn’t happened. It’s just a reaction to backlash instead of working on actual feedback from their forums, specially PTR.

Most didn’t. I don’t think anyone was shocked that it turned out to be a big nothing

Both are forms of flight. They are just a way to get around.

Yes one being free while the other wasn’t made no sense.

Only since WoD. One of the worst expacs for the game.

You can still work your way up to rank 15. You’ll get other things for that. If you weren’t into traditional flying, it was never gonna matter to you anyway.

But if they made the change and acknowledged the people that gave the feedback, how is it being ignored?

Where exactly did they mention they ignored all the feedback from the forums?

Its being ignored until today after the backlash, they’ve almost 2 months of feedback since September 8 in the PTR, to check player response and work with that.

Almost 2 Months without response to multiple threads…yeah my bad that’s not ignoring…

You want them to point to a specific post where Blizz was like “this feedback here, we’re ignoring it”?

Are you guys in here just mad you have nothing left to have a group chat complaint thread after thread now because you got what you asked for so you’re creating reasons to be upset?

Cmon man. This thread is ridiculous.

Blizzard thanked people for feedback

They quite possibly couldn’t have been less cryptic.

Yea I know, you just asked that question in a really bizarre way and made me laugh is all.

So, if it’s ridiculous just don’t reply, it won’t gain any more attention but thanks for your response.

I did the post because its frustating that some players report this 2 months in advance and there’s not any response or change from Blizzard side, until there’s a backlash at the last moment. That leads to less players providing feedback for future issues.
