As a former MVP. The worst part of posting dissenting opinions is being verbally mauled by anonymous players on the forums. Posting with a target on your back was very stressful.
It’s good to give input on areas you dont have much experience with. Likewise, it’s good to read what more experienced players have to say on topics you aren’t familiar with.
My only gripes, so far, is that most feedback is wishlisting and some of the posts are waaaaaaay too long.
The game still has “a couple million” subscribers? 
Most guess-timates from people that take the time to actually look into it, extrapolate the numbers out, etc like Bellular (for example) seem to suggest < 2 million subs, which is fairly low compared to their previous expacs
Read them. The fact is the game is not some small new thing. It is a 17 year old game with complex systems that interact with tons of stuff.
It is very very very hard to just say “fix X” , without context. It touches a lot of other aspects of the game.
Good feedback tries to encompass all of that and someone who knows how the game works can disgest that.
I mean, if you want just “give me mint chocolate chip ice cream” I can, but that won’t help anyone.
Admittedly, if I’m not invested in the topic, then I’m more likely to stop reading earlier. But I digress, longform text isn’t digestible. It’s good that these posts usually have “TL;DR”'s or “Conclusion” sections. (It absolutely helps.)
So basically no difference value wise then.
The issue is that they didn’t prioritize people who are talkative online. So they ended up with people they prioritized for other reasons, but who don’t discuss much.
The Blizzard council has been pretty dead lately.
Are they active on Twitter maybe? Could just be that they don’t like using the forums
I thought the whole point of the program was to have them providing transparent feedback posts under the “official” Community Council forum?
I’m certainly not going to go play “internet detective” looking up their twitter handles, Facebook page, reddit handle, looking for them on Discords, etc etc… not gonna waste my time doing that when they’re “supposed” to be posting on the CC board
According to one member, they do not represent the community, they represent themselves. To answer your question, it is because as a PR move, it sounds better than “group of people who get to tell Blizzard what they want changed”.
Yea this is 2022 though and Twitter is where people like to congregate online. I agree with you that a forum is much more organized for discussion but twitter gets people likes and followers
I mean, if they’re going to be inactive on these forums, but “active” on 3rd party platforms like twitter… the least they could do is… I don’t know… maybe “plug” the twitter/social media handle/stream channel right there in their intro post (for the benefit of the reader)? 
If some of these dudes are allegedly active on twitter, Discord, etc… but inactive/afk on the Community Council board then that’s kinda lame imo, especially for the average reader/passerby/lurker that’s visiting the CC board and sees certain CC members never posting or inactive (…while also being completely unaware of those CC member’s social media handles)
Council threads and feedback seems fine… tbh i dont see they asking for things differently than what most threads already ask/demands. In all ways of forming a council negative people would act negatively towards it anyways, Vote? oh streamer council. Pick randomly? oh so you get the guy that dont do X content here, pick selected by aplications? oh we didnt choose it. I mean, people are literally complaining about the amount of words posts there have.
Next time you don’t even state a gender because it’s obvious now who are you referring to.
I think the stars just aligned for one time. We still haven’t heard anything about the Power of Balance- and other various topics, which are still longstanding requests.
This is not true, though. I like reading through the GD because there are several good ideas and postings which describe the problems perfectly. Blizzard could help preventing the trolling and increase the overall topic quality by making alts globally ignore-able and hinder people to post on several characters. They invited this bad habit themselves.
This is a bad take on something what might could interest people in trying out. There is always a reason behind why people do not want to do certain things and they reacted a bit on such topics with the battle pet changes. The entry level is simply too big and I’m sure you can find similar answers to your concerns.
Agreed, lots of people are very happy never touching twitter and they shouldn’t be in the dark.
Hey, “nerds” is a pejorative. I prefer the term “dorks.”
I’m one of those hehe
I do have a throwaway twitter account I’ve used to sign up for random giveaways here and there, but other than that I don’t use twitter
Same thing for Facebook, I have a throwaway account there so I can lurk around in certain groups
Yeah, the idea of being represented by some GD lfr raider worries me a bit.
Not that I know of other than personal accounts. Any discussions for feedback with Blizz are supposed to be on the CC forum, not other places. I mean, people can certainly chat with their guild or discord about whatever, but when they want to sum it up for Blizz it has to be on the forum.
One who is a small streamer did that but the forums got furious and accused them of only being on the CC to promote themselves so they removed it. Since then nobody has even mentioned their other media or streams to avoid forum agro and accusations.
Ignore them? Some people just can’t be reasoned with. Don’t give them a “win”.
