    The new communities feature needs an in-game scheduler and MOTD.

    I think its pretty good as is but I do wish it came packaged with an in-game scheduler to organize events. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a method to leave a message of the day or of the week either. The social tab on the battle.net launcher has an MOTD feature, but that's a non-starter since you have to go outside the game to use it, which people just won't do.

    However, I'm sure someone will develop an addon to handle the issues.
    TO FIX WOW:1. smaller server sizes & server-only LFG awarding satchels, so elite players help others. 2. "helper builds" with loom powers - talent trees so elite players cast buffs on low level players XP gain, HP/mana, regen, damage, etc. 3. "helper ilvl" scoring how much you help others. 4. observer games like in SC to watch/chat (like twitch but with MORE DETAILS & inside the wow UI) 5. guild leagues to compete with rival guilds for progression (with observer mode).6. jackpot world mobs.

    Look I will be honest... this feature was in the game since launch with custom channels it just wasn't a part of the launcher. Very few people are going to use this they just needs a bullet point for the box.

    Pretty sure Communities have MOTD (called Broadcast in blizzard terms).
    Code:
    function CommunitiesChatMixin:AddBroadcastMessage(clubId)
    	local clubInfo = C_Club.GetClubInfo(clubId);
    	if clubInfo and clubInfo.broadcast ~= "" then
    		if self.broadcastSent[clubId] == clubInfo.broadcast then
    			return;
    		end
    		
    		self.MessageFrame:AddMessage(" ");
    		self.MessageFrame:AddMessage(COMMUNITIES_MESSAGE_OF_THE_DAY_FORMAT:format(clubInfo.broadcast), YELLOW_FONT_COLOR:GetRGB());
    		self.broadcastSent[clubId] = clubInfo.broadcast;
    	end
    end
    And in game calendar has been a thing for a years, which should work with communities.

    That's exactly what they've done though? See links below.

    Good! I relied on Bellular's review of the communities feature and he never mentioned this stuff and made it sound very bare bones.

    Oh its gonna get used because its cross realm. Custom channels aren't cross realm. I'm gonna use it a LOT.
