It depends on the issue you need help with. Asking about anything quest/in-game help has never ever been answered. In the past, the response was just “we cannot give game hints” and that was it. Now, they refer you to the forums and Wowhead to get community-driven help.
For other issues, like refunds/restorations/etc, they have added a lot of self-help resources over the years. This gets you what you need a LOT sooner than waiting for a GM to respond (which, under the best of circumstances, would take 12-24 hours).
For bug reports and game feedback/suggestions, they have never ever taken those reports through a GM ticket. You need to post on the Bug Report Forum or by using the in-game Bug Report Forum (for bug), or posting in the appropriate forum or using the in-game Suggestion feature (for feedback/suggestions).
Looking through your recent posting history, I see that you have the following issues:
- “Gamebreaking” bugs
- Solo Shuffle players leaving
- A bunch of threads not knowing how an in-game system works (Primal Loot boxes, Void Elf heritage armor)
- Pushing an insane “Discord rumor”
Here are your answers:

You need to report them on the Bug Report Forum. As established in another thread, your definition of “gamebreaking” is much more liberal than reality. A racial not scaling properly to 70 is not “gamebreaking”. Gamebreaking means exactly how it sounds: the game is broken, meaning you cannot actually play the game.
Even so, if you have found a bug and reported it properly, it takes time to recreate the bug, troubleshoot why it’s happening, determine how to fix it, then actually do the work of fixing it, then testing the fix to make sure it doesn’t break anything else, then pushing it live (which sometimes take until weekly maintenance). It’s not an instant process, and it’s not a process that GM’s have any part of. And they never ever have. -
While certainly irritating, there is currently nothing that requires someone to stay the entire time. Emergencies happen, disconnects happen, and beyond that, there are many reasons why someone needs to leave.
That said, they are making adjustments based on feedback (given in the correct place, such as the Arenas forum). You can read about it here: Solo Shuffle Update - December 16. Especially pertinent is the “Future Improvements” section. -
See above: CS does not give in-game hints. I didn’t check all these threads, but the community can easily answer your questions. It’s not up to a GM, nor has it even been.
(Edit to add: Regarding the Void Elf heritage armor, it is not awarded for simply unlocking the Allied Race. After unlocking, you need to create a new Void Elf character and level it to 50 (maybe 60 now?). No boosts, no transfers or race/faction changes. Just level it. And once earned, the heritage armor is only available to that race, not any other race.

Just stop. Seriously. “I heard a rumor” is not a reason to contact the GM staff to inquire or complain about it. First, if Blizzard wants to ban addons, that is their choice. But I guarantee that: a) you would hear it directly from Blizzard well before it happened, and not through a “Discord rumor”, and b) it’s never going to happen.
