Thatâs not a dev but a pr mascot
The Blues who post here are community managers not Devs or GMs and since the game is a copy/paste of the US game they have no need to post or look here in the EU.
Edit: Also most peoples ânew great ideaâ has been mentioned many times before.
They might just be in disguise, well never know for sure.

My personal opinion is that Blizzard care for the 90% or so Asian users and donât really care for either the EU or US players.
Theyâll tailor the game to suit where the money comes from.
I think Jito also raised an interesting point and one people maybe had not thought of.
Although I agree they do probably tailor the game to suit where the most money comes from 
For me I still think it is unreasonable that I need to make a US trial account in order to be able to see the Beta/Dev section. It doesnât matter how many times people tell me how fast it is to do this, my argument will always be âwhy should I need to do this?â
Actual developers are not permitted to post on the forums and interact with the community. Thatâs what PR and community managers are for. Developers are very passionate and in the end human, so they donât want them posting something which could hurt the company image.
Community managers (blue posts) will contribute to a silly and very casual thread every now and again, but wonât ever take a stance or relay direct information without the approval of PR. Because they donât want to say anything that might upset us and when in doubt, itâs better not to say anything at all.
The forums are a place where the players can interact with one another, not a place where the community can interact with developers. Community Managers relay constructive feedback both ways when it is required. Some developers, do however read a forum thread every now and again.
Also, bear in mind that the job of a community manager, is only to relay feedback, not see it through to the end or to make sure a change is made, regardless of how popular or upvoted a thread is. They are also not required to inform the community that said feedback has been forwarded or if it is being acted upon or not.
For many years i didnt see any, but some, na community manager posted personally some news.
Not much, but atleast its something
Not true at all, they can post, check NA forums.

I get where youâre coming from and totally appreciate the feelings that youâve expressed here Retributor
Anything the developers say is picked over with a fine tooth comb. One wrong word and suddenly something a dev said was âconsideredâ can end up all over the internet as âconfirmed by Blizzard next patch!â even if thatâs not what they said at all. One poorly worded joke made in good faith can provoke a backlash that becomes a meme for years. Even the simplest response can take a lot of time to get right, especially when itâs not the authorâs expertise. Posting can take even longer if the information needs to be approved for release and translated to other languages. While you and I are not developers, imagine how daunting, and scary, it could be to make even a casual interaction when your voice might carry so far and have implications not only for yourself, but the fans, and colleagues throughout the company.
So thereâs risk of causing the wrong kind of storm, and thereâs time. Time, that theyâre spending fully into making and improving the game. Thereâs also something Iâve mentioned before. Any member of staff commenting on feedback instantly makes that idea âabout the blueâ and can detract from the OPâs feeling or message. The thread may get flooded with people who want to join in, or who click on through from one of the various blue trackers, but actually donât care about the size of an orcs ears (or whatever the suggestion was) vastly skewing what the real community sentiment is on a subject. Itâs often better to let a community discussion play out, and observe, to gain a more accurate perspective.
So does that mean your voice isnât heard? No, not at all. Even if they may not post often, the developers can read the forums. In addition, various roles make lots of reports of whatâs being said here and other places, as well as a large number of other activities and avenues that all play their part to convey the pulse of the playerbase and ensure youâre listened to.
Now, I canât speak for the devs, but I do know that from all the interactions Iâve had with them, they care. The care a heck of a lot about the game and you, our amazing fans. Truly.
I hope this at least provides a little insight and helps put your mind to rest a little. 
While weâre on the subject, if you havenât already seen it, check out the recent developer update below

That is kind of ironic consideringâŚ
Even blues canât post without their posts being dissected, interpreted, jumped on etc 
Itâs like having to prepare an official statement that requires someone else to read through it and say what could they jump on, what can they twist, what can they misinterpret.

So in short, not.
Iâd make the argument that if you voice something thatâs interesting, then itâll be heard. It doesnât really matter where you voice it. The community is really good at putting a spotlight on the interesting topics of discussion and making them stand out. That holds true for these forums, it holds true for Reddit, and it holds true everywhere else.
Anyway,
The only developer who has ever taken an active approach to posting on the forums was Ghostcrawler. The NA forums have never had a lot of developer posts â they had Ghostcrawler.
During Alpha and Beta tests itâs common that a developer will post updates on the forums regarding upcoming changes. But thatâs just a form of early patch notes, itâs not really discussion engagement.
So itâs always only been Ghostcrawler. Blizzardâs developers have never otherwise made a habit out of discussing on the forums. As said earlier, their presence seems more focused on social media, interviews, and other forms of communication that reach out to a broader audience.
For curious minds, hereâs an interview where Ghostcrawler talks about his time posting on the forums and how that played out internally:
