What? US CMs can post on the EU forums? This is great news! We've finally got the technology for transatlantic communications on battle.net.
I guess this means we'll see actual Blue responses on the EU forums now then. No more need for US-player relays to get something said and read! |

Lol if its a US poster , its probably for the fact if they have any players playing from that region on EU they wouldnt want out to happen to them would they :) dont kid yourself bro |

How does that work for us player who have both EU and US accounts on the same battlenet account? Do I have to change the question or not? I made the battlenet account itself on the European page.

Been checking the blue tracker on MMOC lately? I usually see more EU flags there than I do US of late. And when reading the US forums, I see similar complaints being posted there "EU gets more blue replies" etc. |

Been checking the blue tracker on MMOC lately? I usually see more EU flags there than I do US of late. I'm talking about posts like these: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/5889309137 http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/6307802424 And this post just shows, to get recongition you need to have someone relay your feedback on the US forums: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/5889309137?page=177#3536 |

If this is only intended for players on US servers,
then why is it on a forum for people who are on European servers ? |

I guess this means we'll see actual Blue responses on the EU forums now then. No more need for US-player relays to get something said and read! Can you please show me links were can EU players actually discuss about class design with the devolopers.I curently searched the beta forums and saw nothing but little jokes added from time to time in blue posts nothing like a discussion where players can actually give their suggestions and recieve feedback........ |
If this is only intended for players on US servers, Because many players based in the EU indeed have US based battle.net accounts. It all depends how the account was first set up. It's entirely possible for someone to have a US battle.net account but have an EU WoW account. Much like I have both EU and US WoW on my EU battle.net, this means that I cannot play on US WoW when EU battle.net is down for maintenance. |

Sure. Just look at the forum index page and post in the board that fits your topic: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/forum/ Dude, developers are not obliged to read or post on the forums. It is not part of their job to do so - that is the job of a community manager. Developers do it on their own volition when they feel they want to address the player base more directly, instead of via a community manager. And naturally, since developers work in the US department, they'd do so on the US forums. Doesn't make other boards less important contrary to popular belief. So please, don't think its their job to do so. Because it is not. If they worked in the EU, you'd of course have seen a the story the other way around. Community managers, however, are different. They are equally important across all three regions, and player feedback from all three regions are weighted equally. They are the ones who relay feedback to the developers, and they are the ones who have contact with developers. Else their presence here would be pointless, and Blizzard would not be wasting their resources to run and maintain forums and such. FYI, developers have sometimes posted on the EU beta forums, and on one occasion, it was during a time when the community managers are not really at work and they needed to announce something quickly. But again, it just is not their job to do so. They do it when they feel it necessary (such as making a quick announcement and such).
Not really. Community teams have a purpose - they relay your feedback to developers, regardless of the region you are in. |

If this is only intended for players on US servers, Because if you have created your battle.net account on the US site, even though you play in the EU, your account is not safe unless you took the necessary measures. |
You make me laugh hard. "it's not their job to discuss with the comunity".....What kind of logic is this?Everywhere in the world when you design a product you start from the needs, and in an MMO the best way to do that is to get in touch with the community, where you can find what they like and you can even get suggestions about how to fix problems, and alot more usefull feedback. And yes the HAVE to make that available to everybody because they want to sell their product to us too.If they respect the EU playerbase enough they will. |

I absolutely adore how you take part of a sentence out of context and twist it into your own gross misinterpretation in order to make yourself feel like an absolute star. Congratulations. You have mastered one of the easiest aspects of language command. |

I have to agree with Danellos here. He didn't say that the forums are meaningless and that the developers never take any community feedback. What he said was that it is the Community Managers who directly interact with the community; it is they who pass on feedback to the developers (and believe me, they do!). The developers communicate their ideas to us via the Community teams. What the developers don't do is spend their time posting on this forum. That doesn't mean they ignore players. |

yes ok i should not have used quotation marks but that's what i understood from your post and that was more like paraphrasing.I also nerver said that developers said that the forums are meaningless(that would be idiotic taking in consideration that the game must fulfill those players expectations otherwise they will loose customers), but still i dont understand why we have to support differential treatment when we are talking about the same game.I think thats unfair and rude, and i consider that developers should treat all the parts involved the same
Oh yes they do but they dont spend time on EU forums.US players are given the chance to discuss directly with the devs.We can't. I also can't belive that a company like Blizzard can't overcome the technicall issues of merging two forums..
WHy not?This is the easies way for the to get to know what people want and also make those people feel usefull at the same time |
