We agree and the WoW CM team has only grown since the game was released ("do more with less for bigger dividends" sounds very cynical and has never been an operating procedure for us). We've taken on a host of various responsibilities over the years, but community engagement remains a primary objective.
That said, our "customer audience" expands well beyond these forums and we have to keep that in perspective. There needs to be a larger engagement strategy so our time is well managed.
On a related note, I'm not going to have much time at all today to engage the community because I'm organizing a lot of data in Excel. But that data will later be used to inform how, where, and why we engage the community. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
10% Damage Reduction in PvP
Simply put, we felt that PvP damage was too high across the board. There were several changes in Patch 6.1 that caused a general increase in PvP damage, and this change was meant to counterbalance that. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
Hunter Pet Damage
We've just pushed a hotfix that reduces the Cornered damage increase from 50% to 20%. It'll still probably be wise to kill Hunter pets at low HP, but that should make the strategy of purposefully summoning a pet at low health significantly less effective.
20% is still more than 0. So they're still going to do it.
Sure, but it's a much more dangerous tradeoff considering how quickly a low-HP Hunter pet can be killed. There's significantly less reward for the risk. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
Blood Elf Model Feedback The feedback was gathered? i'm not sure about that. "my weapons are far too big!" was said about 5 billion times and they still went forward with it. the smug expressions are still there and the terrible run animations are still there.
Weapon size is a divided topic for sure. We saw lots of feedback before the models changed that weaponsweretoosmall. I think we adjusted weapon size back and forth during testing to hit a spot that most people were happy with, but I know some of you'd still prefer something smaller. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Darkmoon Faire A bug on the DMF's race: sometimes when you hit a post, you get an extra toll. Climb to the blue post and u get 3->5 tolls.

Chance the ring toss vendor could be a little further from the gate, everyone stands on her while tossing rings. #dmf
We're hoping to have this addressed in a future patch. For now, try toggling nameplates and/or using a '/tar Jessica' command. (WarcraftDevs)

She’s considered a Draenei for the purposes of Alliance-side traits. (WarcraftDevs)

any1 know if the tranqulizing shot nerf is pvp only? as it dosent make sence from pve stand point
I know BW doesn't even reduce the cost. I just think it's a waste of spell being put in action bar. Let's just take it off so other ppl get their turn to dispel. More dps actions for us, NO DISPEL JOB \o/, Oh hell no not glpyh Tranqulizing shot. NO thanks.
Keep on nerfing damage in PVP blizz, pretty soon its just going to be a "who can survive farther into dampening" fest. I'm enjoying this xpac but so far we've got little of what you promised. Stat squish did nothing (already back at 300k - 500k hp), You promised less CC and well i'm reasonably sure we ended up with more CC, you promised less instant heals which is true for every class except Rdruids. Sigh guess i'll become a casual yet again since everything that I try to enjoy gets butchered
Their solutions when it comes to balacing/fixing PvP are more and more out of touch with reality.
Because The game was not built to have PvP. It was added as a mini-game after WoW initially released. There will never be balance because there is none to be had. I, personally don't care much for mini-games. Some are fun. PvP, in this game, is not.
