I see a lot of hate directed at the council as a whole for what they are or are not doing. Especially from people who say they’ve never visited the forums.
I have, and will continue to make and respond to posts that apply to me, or that I think I have some insight on. Someone earlier in this thread was asking for a suggestion box or vote etc,
but the problem with that is you could get council members voicing opinions they don’t actually care about, which would diminish a significant portion of the value of the CC, in my opinion. The best suggestion box is GD, or find a way to contact a CC member to share your thoughts. Then they can decide whether its something they want to discuss on the council .
Because the only responses you’d ever see (well, like 95% of the time) would be complaint posts about the council and Blizzard and every other stupid thing people get upset about.
Also, you can’t post or respond there because you aren’t a council member, and Blizzard doesn’t value your opinion as much as theirs, yet. I think they recruit for the council infrequently, so stay active, stay helpful and maybe you can be on the council, or not.
The entire CC should have been a secret forum like it was the last time Blizz tried to do something like this IMO. I don’t see much value in people seeing what the CC is and is not suggesting but some things that could be good for the game will definitely be hated by a small portion of the people who play it. This I would imagine makes it hard for people to suggest some things.
Yes they did. Just because they deleted the tweet doesn’t change the fact they did it.
Learn what libel is. I’ve not named a single person in this as I don’t know their forum name. So if you’re sticking with the libel claim, then I appreciate the honesty that it was you.
Thank you I’ll look over and offer my support. Again I think your takes are insightful. I do agree there is a lot of negativity around the council some of it justified some of it not. However I do appreciate what some of you are trying to do.
I honestly am happy to see the posts public it was a good move on blizzard we as a community should see what’s being discussed. I never would have seen letholas wonderful posts and positive feedback and his negative feedback
Not that you’re necessarily wrong, but I don’t agree.
I think having it publicly viewable - especially given the number of blue posts we’ve seen - is better for the program as a whole. We are a small representation of the WoW community, but I have also received feedback from people in game, on GD, and other discords and forums about posts on the CC, which would not have happened in a private forum.
It was very clearly advertised as a public forum. I think the people who applied would still be ok suggesting their things that apply to small amounts of the playerbase. I mean, look at some of the threads. There are definitely some that apply to lots of people and some that dont.
The real question is why aren’t there more piggeh mounts? This should be every community council member’s top priority. Daily threads should be made. The people demand action!
The best way to do this is to make your post on GD, and link a post that the Council member you’re looking to address made. They will get a notification, and then GD can chime in as well.
The council is there for Blizzard to ignore as many people as possible by pretending to listen to as few people as possible. Letting us all comment there would defeat the purpose.
