I think you are confusing “looking” for feedback with “open” to feedback.
Sometimes the phrase “looking for feedback” can also be used to basically mean that as well.
The simplest explanation is that they are out of touch and made it up.

“My only option is a megaserver where my faction massively outweighs the other, or a small server where my faction massively outweighs the other”
What about Pagle and help change the balance, or Ashkandi, or Windseeker for more balanced PVP. Or if you do want to be the dominant team, Mankrik.
“Woe is me, I have no options because I decided the only option I had was the worst one”.
To paraphrase College Humor.
“We took a wide survey of people”
“Uhummm I see, yeah. I do note one thing here though.”
“What’s that”
“Yeah, you did your survey at a rally of the ‘I hate LFD’ club. Don’t think there was any sort of bias there?”

They may have sent out emails, but I don’t remember any.

To be clear, if you read the forums before the announcement, it was all “LFD will destroy Wrath”. Because the people who post are not the ones who assume the status quo will continue.
The Silent Majority is the ones that are now pissed off. The ‘vocal minority’ that posted thread after thread before the announcement saying that LFD needs to go, are the ones they listened to.
The feedback was right here on the forums.
Good example of why you should always push back against bad ideas for something you love. Because if you don’t, people will assume you agree with the vocal positions.

why would i ever play on a pve server… not trying to be mean but the numbers are there.
Better PvE guilds are on PvP servers. Just how it is.
If I’m looking for feedback, that implies that I’m actively seeking it out. For example, sending legitimate surveys to people (i.e. McDonald’s asking you to complete a survey with details on the back of your receipt) If I’m open to feedback, that just means I allow you to share your opinion, it doesn’t mean I want it or not (i.e. having your business on Google where anyone can put a review)
Interestingly enough, though, his tweet that actually touched on this has been deleted/removed.
Please explain how much WPVP you’re getting on your PVP server…
Did i say wPVP?
I specifically said… better PVE guilds are on PVP servers…
Did you even bother reading?
They didn’t send out any emails regarding this change. If they had, we’d be able to find some pictures of it online on Google or various sites, even if they said “Do not post this.”

And the whole point is that you’re creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. You are the reason why megaservers exist.
“I want to go where the best guilds are”
“Me too”
… moments later …
“Why is this a megaserver now, why did everyone come here”

If you’re going to abuse the report button, at least try to put it on the posts that actually justify it.
"I don’t understand. You recognize that no LFD would be good, but the problem is server pops. Then why not push for server balancing, instead of fixing a symptom?
-I’ve literally done that in maybe 100 threads. But realms populations being balanced is at this point a fleeting pipedream. LFD is the last resort Blizzard has left us with.
I don’t know if they could afford the 5 cent stamps, considering their past motives.
Im only one person lol. When our 7k server decides overnight to vanish, wtf am i supposed to do about it. Great now you play on a dead server and nobody cares.
Earthfury 101 right there.
Every snowflake is just one snowflake, but avalanches are made of snow. That mindset you literally just repeated, held by 30,000 people is what created Faerlina.
OK speaking from somebody who’s played since 2004 and yes I very much remember when World of Warcraft Was compared to As it was mostly known ever crack.
I think you have a very bad misunderstanding of certain things or rather If you’re really thinking that people still play the game the same way they did back in 2004 and I think you have some things mistaken.
In a perfect world you’re right Limiting dual spec does make that identity More unique No racial or faction changes does help with faction balance And no LFD does help at social aspect as I said ideally.
However You’re missing a lot of big things one Most people Don’t enjoy the aspect of not build the switch specs They want they’re off and main spec that’s OK it’s more fun Just because something may or may not increase your class identity.
If it’s a miserable experience who cares As far as socialization with no LFD bro are you joking me People Only talk in dungeons when they were difficult to do like it or not we’re just way better at the game now and we’re just going to crush it.
As far as no Faction transfer for faction balance are you kidding me Faction balance has been dead for a long time blizzard made the bad decision of not doing any racial balancing.
I understand what you’re trying to say and where your mindset is but no offense you’re living in a fantasy world more so than World of Warcraft.
People don’t play the game like they did in 2004 we destroyed that the moment we wet logs in Is the world buff meta If all of that stuff in the midmax culture that we adopted and said was OK.
Because the reality is Boosting would not be so much of a problem if the community didn’t want it blizzard would not have put in a paid boost if everybody wasn’t doing it.
I for one do not agree with no LFD why because people Are just going to be More cut off from the content I guarantee gear score is going to come back and it’s going to be even worse because we’re seeing it already.
I see this from a palatin tank’s perspective who just recently came back I’m a little behind and gear I want to know that but I’m getting there.
But I’m certainly gear Enough to do za I’ve always been told no we want a tank that can just carryouth can just carry us People want the easiest solution to get done with the goal that they want to do it’s just that simple.
And you could make an argument that mentality started in wrath but that wasn’t the game that did that it was us we decided to make achievements a way to get content from people we decide to adapt gear score and accept that.
Is we made classic into pay to win gdkps If would not be as popular if the player base didn’t want them it’s just that simple It’s the same reason I say the wow token should be I see the game as it is now not the way it used to.
Thats great man, go feed the world.
Im living in reality here.
Especially since they’re now halving the number of servers, now is a great time to get Guilds to shift to populated, but not overpopulated servers. Spread Faerlina and Benediction out over the other servers, by player choice. Take a temporary hit and a chance, on the goal of making things better.
