Haven't touched it myself. Don't know anyone who uses it. And to be honest, I forgot it was even a thing until I saw this post. : |

I don’t personally use it because I’m anti social but I know my guild leader/friends do for world PvP events and for finding new guild members. Seems pretty successful for them.
I use it a lot for mythic raids, m+ and rated pvp, so yes
getting into the good communities is usually merit-based which makes it so much better
if its left like it is now. Then no, not really. If they evolve it and make gross realm guilds, then yes. we can do everything beside mythic cross realm. Why not guilds ? why limit guilds to your server and connected server
Have they upped the limit from 1k yet?
On that note, have they implemented any significant improvements since its initial implementation?
That's the thing with Discord, it updates all the time, but I haven't read anything really changing on the Communities front. Sorta like that guild finder thing from several xpacs ago that wasn't updated.

I have a guild so i dont see a point for it.
I like that they're making the tools too. Just seems like their social tools get implemented but not updated and evolved. They should have a small team dedicated to updating the social tools in-game and across other Blizzard games when they don't have anything to do in WoW for the moment. Not just personal projects that get implemented and not updated.
Its a good feature. I think communities cannot be a true success because cross realm, war mode, and sharding exist, so it cannot create a true in-game community that it otherwise would. But the problem is not with communities themselves but with other features.
I would improve communities by making events easier to organize:
1. add a filter for "community events" on the calendar. It has filters for Darkmoon Faire, Active Raid lockouts, Weekly Events and PvP brawls but nothing for community events. Also, some things on the calendar cannot be filtered out like holidays and microholidays (the thousand boat bash is on the calendar and cannot be filtered out for example)
2. we need a timeline of events that have been added, in progress, or deleted.
3. we should be allowed to add notes to players in communities. I know that can start adding up to a lot of notes, so maybe give toons an allotment of 75 notes that can be spent on friends lists and communities. Once it totals up to 75, then they must delete notes to add new ones.
4. Add more functionality to the calendar sign up. Currently, when you click on the event in the calendar, you pull up a small window listing who signed up but you cannot right click them to whisper them or see their gear or ilvl or leave a note.
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.
It was a good idea that got the bare minimum of dev effort and hasn't seen any QoL improvements. It's very barebones and needs a ton of new stuff to compete with discord. Basic things like searching, permissions, etc.
For a second, I was wondering what "community" feature. It tells how non important it was for me.
What killed the feature for me was the lack of a way to browse and find communities in-game.

I am actually using it, unlike some of the other supposedly great features Blizzard added (like selfie cam, twitter integration, or in-game voice chat).
