Question is BBB, do you think the forums will be reverted back to classes after enough QQ?

From what I’ve read the official word is that they’re keeping the class forums but aside from moderating (locking/deleting threads and posts when necessary and moving threads to more appropriate forums) there will be no interaction from the CMs.

However, the developer types will be regularly reading the role forums and occasionally adding their input, so any threads about class balance in PVP or PVE, and specific abilities and talents that seem to be under/overpowered or not working as they should will need to be discussed in the role forums where people of other classes will certainly chime in. Ghostcrawler apparently believes that having dozens of rogues whining about how cat druids can heal and battle rez is both useful and necessary in a thread about feral DPS.

I never talk on the druid forums anyway. too much spam and other classes trolling. Set up a druid forum here and we can come along and hang out.

What a mess. I agree with you 100%

It may reduce the number of forums, but not the number of posts. I’ve been a mod before, and it can get rough, but 99% of the time you just let things roll until someone reports a post/thread. I can’t even begin to imagine trying to find useful information amongst all of the trolls. It gets difficult in the class forum as it is.

Wait wait wait…

The official reason for only three forums was to reduce the number of forums to babysit.

So they decide to keep up all of the forums including the three new ones?

Somewhere at Blizzard there is a Vice President in charge of nothing important that decided he had a GREAT idea, and ordered it done.

/facepalm

Talk about being out of touch with your clients. Nice to see they actually took the wake-up call on this, and are leaving the class forums.

“Easier to monitor 3 forums instead fo 10…” Wow, I didn’t know it was SO difficult to assign X number of Blizz employees per forum. I guess that’s asking too much… But I digress.

This is a monumentally stupid idea. I loved reading what my fellow hunters had to say and if this goes through, I guess I’ll have to dig past all the rogues, mages, warlocks, fury warriors, arms warriors, balance boomkins, feral non-tanking druids, ret paladins, dps deathknights, elemental shaman, enhancement shaman, and discipline/shadow priests in the damage dealing forum… Sweet…looking forward to it… :(
