Ok, I can't help but feel a little bitterness for the blizzard non-beta forum right now. After they released the new hunter information, I imidiately posted on the boards my opinion on the matter...It was deleted ( I don't know why). Thinking it was a mistake or something, I posted a new topic ( It was deleted). I posted one last time, asking why my suggestions were deleted ( if there was offensive material or what ) and suprise, it was deleted. Anyone know why any of this is happening? Do they just not want opinions on the non-beta WoW forum or what? Guess i'll be posting my opinions and suggestions here from now on in the suggestions area...

let me let u in on a little secret....blizzard really doesnt care. if u post a sugestion or something of that nature either it gets deleted after awhile or they just dont read it. theres a point to blizzards use of the sugestion forum....to keep people from posting stuff in the general discussion forums. and if u post a complain abot something, instead of blizz replying, they just delete it. but whenever some1 spams crap that s not important blizz will answer with some sort of joke.....me thinks blizzard is run by 5 year olds.

Hehe, that would explain a lot. I do respect to company a lot though, they've come out with some of the best games to date, just confusing how they care so little about people not directly in the beta. Like I said in the blizz forum...There are like 10 doom 3 posts not deleted but mine with an opinion about the game was....wait, my post saying that was deleted.

Posted on the wrong board? Posted a suggestion on the general board? duh. some mods are nazis about keeping the right stuff on the right boards. i donno why they didnt delete the doom3 posts, I dont read the blizzard forums.

personally i have no respect 4 blizzard now, i got TFT the day it came out, i was so excited. then like a week in i realized that theres alot of BSers and hackers on the game. (definitly not as much as RoC if roc had any). so ive send numorous emails showing hackers and BSers and once never got reply or saw the person get baned. then when i posted stuff about it on the blizzard forums they didnt answer, they deleted my thread. shows me that people like me who continue to post things about the D2 hackers and the warcraft hackers care more than blizzard them selves. yes they banned lots of accts now, but does it matter? look how long it took them to do it. and so far ive seen nothing done about diablo.

if WoW ends up like diablo theres no way in heck any1 gonna pay the fee to play it.

I posted on what i thought was the correct board. I gave my thoughts and comments on the hunter class. ( nothing offensive like I mentioned before ) It wasn't really a suggestion, and since there was only boards are general, off-topic, suggestions, guilds, and role-playing, I felt that was the correct board to post.

i was excited about this game when it got anounced, but now im over it bigtime. 4 one if blizzard doesnt care about diablo2 hackers u think they will with WoW? prolly not, peopl still paying 4 the game so who cares blizz is making money. also, i dont remeber where it was posted, but acording to an artical in a mag VU (blizzards parent company) is pushing blizzard to release WoW by november. somehow i dont think it will b released this year since by the looks of it blizzard has no idea what there doing.

I dunno, I'm still super excited for the game and think blizzard is doing a great job with it. My problem is with the forums. But luckly, the people there won't be there much longer and we'll get some real people to answer everything, not the techies that obviously aren't much help in the non-beta forums.

sk8andgames, if you hate blizzard and are "so over" WoW, why are you posting here? Just to trash blizzard? *rolls eyes*

The people who manage the forums and blizzard website are not the same people who make and run the games. They are called Web Masters and web technicians or something. They read the forums, then tell the devs what the main topics of discussion are.

If the mods for the boards let everyone post about d2 hackers when they saw them, thats all the forums would be. Blizzard's job is to make an update games. theyd have to hire a whole nother team to track down and eliminate hacks and hackers. and since your not paying them for bnet, you can stop complaining. if you dont like bnet's hackers, play single-player, since that was their main focus.

MMORPGs are VERY hard to hack. Unless its some little mmog that noone has ever heard of, chances are everything is going to be server-side and protected, so hacking wont be a problem. Oh sure, people might hack their clients, but you wont see any of that since the server ignores it.

And if you want to see dev-to-player interaction, check out the beta forums. theres tons of posts from the devs there responding to the posts. also, the devs dont care AS MUCH about the opinions of a non-beta tester since they arent testing the product. they are listening to the ones they gave the chance to test because THEY have real feedback.

You know why they dont care about D2 and WC3 because they already have your money they dont care about the servers after that point. Now with WOW if they do it right they will get even MORE money because people will stay. Although I think the reason why D2 was just left alone was because its so old. I cannot speak for WC3 though...

The Blizzard forums for the Non-Beta have gone to hell. It's pathetic, they don't even have people that moderate those forums. It is just a mass of random people arguing about what the best game will be. It really isn't worth the time space or money to keep that thing up. But then all the little fans will be like "Blizzard let us down and only cares about the beta testers!"

Which is indeed true. When was the last time that a forum mod actually did something constrctive there? Not just deleting a post about a suggestion or posting saying "We are trying as hard as we can to keep the public updated."

Sad really, I almost looked forward to reading the forums and posts about that game. Now, it is just one massive flame war split into different threads.

That being said, I am looking forward to this game. The dev team and the reps have taken their attention away from the public to make this game. Something I don't quite agree with, but it will probably be for the better.

Yeah, I see what you're saying, but I still think that my opinion should hold at least SOME value. I've done my research, I've obsessed over the game for long enough to have some thought about it ^^. But my point is that for them to just delete my post because my opinion is not what they want to hear, that's not right...but it is their forums and they can do what ever they want. It'd be nice to hear some response to it, if they don't like the idea, they should just say why, i'm sure 1,000 other people would like to know what they have to say about that same issue.

Who hasnt researched and obsessed over a blizzard game? If they took the time out of their day to cater to even 1 in 100 of those people, then theyd NEVER get anything done. I cant speak of the people who run the boards, but if I wasa dev with a fanbase in the millions, I wouldnt care about a few dozen of them. Cause if you care about one, you gotta care about the rest in the same fashion. Otherwise your playing favorites.

Wow,will be a watered down rpg made for kiddies,and it looks like it too.Anyone for serious rpging should look somewhere else anyways.

LoStCaUz3 · August 2004

Claith, I guess you haven't heard. Slavery is over, you aren't forced to come here and post on a game you don't like. So you can leave now, your free.

LOL. I would just like to give a warning that a few days ago a rude individaul was removed permanently, the topic deleted and his post past present were deleted. I would tread carefully about what type of comment you make around me Cliath. I will mercilily incire into your resoning behined you opinion and make everything you say into proof of your misguilded opinion.
I also ask you to please use your personal judgement on your right to free speach. If you abuse it any further by insulting a game in a board that clearly enjoys the game and anticipate it's retail replease I will come down on you like a tone of bricks.

this is actually my 1st Blizz game to obsess over. If you see a jerk online griefing or ganking or ninjalooting take some screenies and send them to www.Ninjalooter.com If Blizz won't police the community to our satisfaction we should just do it ourselves. I think that's why Kat left, she got sick of messing with the babies whining in the forums. I just use the blizz post finder so I don't have to read the drivel. If you were beta testing a game you love (at least they say they do) would you want to waste time with the trolls? I don't know how they do it really!
