    Yeah, I don't see anybody representing casual players in this council. Nobody rises questions about simple fact, that Blizzard have been following "Game isn't challenging enough" demands from hardcore players for several recent xpacks, while completely ignoring feedback from casual players, that leaded to game becoming much more hardcore, than it was back in it's golden era. It's not big noticeable thing, that is easy to spot, that makes this game much more hardcore. That's why hardcore players usually say something "What are you talking about? Game is the easiest now". It's many small details. Like casters, having 3 equally deadly casts without school block now, instead of having just one or two with school block, like it was in the past. Way too high base difficulty. Way too weak/slow catch-ups. Annoying and tedious design. Etc.

    Overall there just 3 types of content now:
    1) Main content - challenging group content. It isn't casual content by definition.
    2) Challenging solo content. Somebody at Blizzard assumes, that if content is solo-friendly - then it can only be challenging. More likely - is should be challenging just for the sake of being challenging, i.e. higher challenge isn't properly rewarded.
    3) So called "casual" content, that can only be about exceeding grind, that automatically makes it alt-unfriendly.

    Problem is - none of this content is truly casual/alt-friendly.

    I don't care about Wow 11.0, if it's not solo-MMO. No half-measures - just perfect xpack.

The data gathering and analyzing required to make any Testing and community driven feedback cost too much manpower, all they do is the performativr side you think they give a shit.
    Again that ism't what the word "ignore " means. You have no clue what the code looks like or what it takes to fix things because if you did, you would know that in many cases, fixing one thing can break a dozen others. Thy actually have to go through the code to see what is causing the bug and then figure out how to fix it without breaking others thing, It's almost never cut and dry. All you are doing is making baseless accusations because they don't give into your complaints and solely cater the game to you all the time. They don't ignore ANYTHING.

    How many years ago was that? The guy who said it isn't even with the company anymore and stopped working on the actual game well before he left.. People need to let this go.

    Does anyone expect them to really pull major features from an expansion on their say-so? Do they expect launch to be delayed for months while they sort through 15 different opinions, often wildly contradictory, about major features? Come on....
    Yes. There are players here who expect Blizzard to immediately grant their every wish and address every complaint to their liking with a snap of a finger. These players expect to be given everything they want and that the game should be solely catered to them as they are the one ones who matter.

    You know what is more stupid than saying the N word regularly years ago or not? Admitting it publicly on a stream. Zero brain cells.

    I said and did lots of stupid stuff 15 years ago, but none of it was out of character. I smoked cigarettes, drank too much, and pirated videogames.

    I never said the N word, hit a woman, roofied someone's drink, tortured an animal, or went down on a dude. Not to imply being gay is a negative or comparable to the others, the point is all those things simply aren't in my nature, they aren't what I'm about. It would never even cross my mind to do them.

    I mean context would matter in this case. I just saw a clip and it seemed he was from some european country. While it was kinda frowned upon even back then and certainly is more today, the further east you go the less does it matter to anyone and your exposure to the word is song texts of shitty music where they throw it around at every other beat. I certainly had a few class mates back in the day that thought they were the biggest "Gs" because they called one another with such racial slurs and had slightly tanned skin (none of them were actually black). That is the difference 15 years and a trip around half the globe make.

    Not that it really matters. While the idea to represent that community is sound, if one didn't anticipate to require absolute laser focus and full blown 24/7 moderation with immediate wrong-think purge, then they probably aren't smart enough to represent the community in the first place. Any decently intelligent person would have anticipated Blizzard reacting this way and even if there was a desire to make sure the poster ment what he said, language barrier or not, the reality is that today no one is afforded such a level of scrutiny. Parse and purge are the only 2 processes allowed here. Anyway, the only regretable thing is that we can't vet the other community council clowns for intelligence as well until they fuck up, but them I'm assuming that the council has a tangible purpose to begin with, which is folly to say the least.

Plenty of soulbinds a simply complete garbage and only some shine through because have broken stuff like pelagos had or the ability itself was even more broken which lifted it even above such concerns.
    You are welcome, Metzen. I hope you won't fuck up my underground expansion idea.

    Ahh, OK. Yeah, I can see how that would hit very differently in Europe 15 years ago, an imported word used without our history of slavery and racism. In that case I agree his main problem is being sufficiently stupid to admit to it in a public forum. That should disqualify him from the council right there.

    Soulbinds balanced across covenants, not within covenants. Each one had a clear winner, there's always a winner, but pelagos didn't sim unreasonably far ahead of dreamweaver (or whatever).

    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.

    Fully agree with this post. Speaking as a full-time casual player now--that council there has been 0 representation of players like me and I know there's a ton of us out there(Although I think most of us went to ESO/FF14).

    While correct, there is a difference between disagreeing with someone and being rude. The example you offered while isn't a personal attack, it is very much rude toward that person for no gain other than an inability to discuss things with people without throwing insults around.

    It is if you cba elaborating upon why exactly does the opinion in question sucks, moreso when you add cute (and completely unrelated to the subject at hand) stuff such as "omg dem youtubers" or homeslices

    when you call it a shitty opinion, yah it is. if you say you disagree, that's not.

    If I called you a shitty person for having a shitty opinion, that'd be a personal attack. But just calling an opinion shitty on its own isn't. There's a difference. Some people are just overly sensitive and cannot accept that there exist people who think differently than they do so they interpret anything that isn't lockstep with their world view a personal attack.

    Put it this way--if in work you told a coworker at a meeting that they have a "Shitty Opinion" do you think HR wouldn't be talking to you afterward?

    And even analyzing your response this isn't a case of you thinking that they just have a bad opinion, you're kinda insinuating that they too are shitty or too weak-minded at the very least.

    We're not at work and the moderation team on this website isn't HR. We're adults discussing a video game. If you can't handle another adult using big person words to tell you that they dislike your opinion that's more of a you issue than an HR issue.

    Wrong again. There is no insinuation. All of that is stuff you imagined. This isn't complicated but the fact that apparently I have to explain it is precisely the reason why so many people think that the Mods on this forum give a free pass to personal attacks.

    A community council with no representative of the PvP community died before it was even implemented imo. The weebs misunderstood the purpose of it and instead turned it into a General Discussion 2.0 with their personal wishlists and dear diary entries. They make 20 posts a day based on their own opinions instead of consolidating the communities' feedback into 1 constructive thread and waiting for a reply on it before adding another thread.

    Pretty sure there was an entire thread about how a high-end raider couldn't get their rogue dagger.

    Then there's me with an army of casuals going---awww poor thing.

    This thread is getting off-track, let's refocus on the question posed by the OP and stop with the personal infighting and argumentative back-and-forths.
    "We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school. Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see." ― Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead

    If you are referring to this thread or this thread then these are the absolute worst examples to use here, this the OP in those threads had been outted for lying, puchasing carrying, and just being a terrible person in general. Unless there was another one.
