This is not just my issue. It should be everyone’s issue. And I don’t see Blizzard replying to ANY issue whatsoever on these forums.
…exactly?
I think Varlios gave the answer, although I agree with you Kornag it is frustrating. I think most people can accept a yes or no answer, it is being ignored that causes the frustration.
For me I would love it if they at least acknowledged certain threads, even a response with no commitment to action other than they had passed it on. So they could state something like “Our remit is to police the forum community and forward to Developers issues raised by the player base, it is not in our remit to respond to any of these issues, but we assure you we do forward these suggestions to the relevant teams”.
That’s exactly it. I’m almost certain nothing from the EU forums is passed to the devs.
Well, one function of the forums is, yes. But a Blue reply here is not necessary for that.
They aren’t GMs. They’re CMs. Very different. If you’re going to complain about them, at least understand what the difference is. Also, not devs. Only devs can comment beyond formal notices, and it is usually not wise even for devs to comment too far beyond what is already agreed.
The best thing Blizzard can do for controversy threads is STAY OUT OF THEM!
The CMs here can’t make company policy, and they should not interject their personal opinion, and they are probably not well briefed on the state of any discussions at Blizzard Central anyway, until something is decided, or close to decided.
And as soon as a Blue posts in a controversy thread, whatever they say, it destroys the thread. On the spot. Instantly. From then on, the whole subject is about whatever the Blue said.
That one has come up a lot before, Think it through. If they instituted that policy, then three months after, where would we be? Every thread gets a form Blue response that tells nobody nothin’, and everyone would be asking for a substantive response.
It is part of the job of CMs to summarise and fill in forms for The Machine about feedback. Aerythlea talked about it once. Lots of forms. Many forms. If the CMs aren’t forwarding these summaries, they’re not doing their jobs, and that would be a performance or disciplinary issue for Blizzard to deal with.
Half-right. Somebody is using alts to like this post, but unless he has a second account, it isn’t OP:

I only looked through the first ten or so likes and there is a lot of alt liking going on. I’m not going to name names. Nor do I care about it personally but this is the system that Blizzard have chosen. It is another side effect of not making us Btag based and allowing us to have 50 chars per account to post on.

I honestly think it would just shift the complaint from, blues never answer anything to Blues never say anything useful, they just copy paste a standard answer stating policy.

Like I said to him, feel free to look at the accounts and compare achievements and whatnot, my account is not hidden unlike his, I have nothing to hide.
I also don’t see why it is something of awe that people are frustrated at the lack of communication by Blizzard on serious matters involving the game on this forum.
Both Gráinne and Dawnrunner have hidden profiles and they both like each other’s comments, if anyone is suspicious it’s people with hidden profiles.
I’m not naming names but in the first ten I did not come across one of your alts no.
I am also not interested in spending my time checking 50+ likes on a post 
Your profile is hidden too but that doesn’t stop people looking you up on the armory or third party sites

No idea how it is hidden because I never set it to hidden myself. And if it is hidden, how did that guy see my pets and link my profile with the pets?
You can not hide yourself on the armory:-
https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-gb/character/eu/draenor/kornag
You can hide your profile on the forums because it’s a different profile and shows your post history etc.
This is what people usually see when it’s not hidden (using my own as an example):-
You can check this easily with https://check-pvp.fr/. Just type in one of the characters on Zenedar and you’ll see what’s going on.
It works on the basis of what alts have already been looked up, for example my entry is very empty and I do not hide my alts, they can be seen on various sites.

I know, but someone else already checked most of the characters which liked the post so in this case it gives a good picture.
I agree, I just meant they have to keep looking up names for it to complete.

I don’t understand what all this suspicion is for. Is it truly unbelievable that a lot of people are annoyed and frustrated at the lack of communication from Blizzard’s part regarding important issues? Or that people are fed up with all these multiboxers running about, breaking the game?
Alright, fair enough.
No it’s not unbelievable, but it’s a fact that someone’s been liking the post with their own characters multiple times.

Which is kind of ironic in a thread complaining about multiboxing!

Ok multiboxer.
Who, me? I think “LOL” is the appropriate response here. 
I’m barely hanging on to the game at all on one account.
Insofar as it matters at all, my position on multiboxing is not simple. As I recall, Blizzard once banned multiboxing, but were pressured to allow it again after someone made a mechanical multiboxing rig with multiple keyboards and got a lot of support? That would have been soon before I started - 2008/9? early Wrath maybe? I just searched, but could not find the news article I remember from back then. When they did some anti-botting changes, they noted that this would also make life more difficult for boxers, and that that was OK by them. So Blizzard don’t favour multiboxing, and I don’t for a minute believe that the tiny amount of marginal revenue they get from it is enough for them to care at all.
If someone wants to multibox to level, or solo dungeons or raids, good luck to them, I say! Open-world farming … doesn’t feel as natural, but I can’t really object on principle. It’s as legit as single-account people doing the same.
When a multiboxer creates lag in a BG or zone though, as we have seen with at least one huge multiboxer in the US, that’s definitely a place where Zone Disruption should be invoked as a disciplinary matter. Even if the disruption was not intended, the onus would be on the boxer to stop as soon as it became apparent; carrying on is a clear offense.
Also for silencing people by reporting on multiple alts, which we also saw in a famous video.
Herb farming is Blizzard’s own self-inflicted problem. I think that they should dump multi-tap. I did an analysis of its effects in Suramar, I remember, and even not considering multiboxing, the virtue of multi-tap was questionable. When you do add multi-boxing, multi-tap becomes a detriment.
When it comes to the more general case of multi-boxing in BGs, I don’t have much standing to comment; I barely play any. But FWIW, it seems to me a special case of the problem of premade groups entering BGs, not simply a consideration of its own.
