Even though Blizzard is owned by a European corporation, Ive heard that Blizzard developers usually emphasizes on feedback from the US forums in regards to development (Feedback from US players since Blizzard HQ staff are from the US). The main source being the US forums. And that the only staff designated to EU customers are customer care staff.

Is this true? Do Blizzard developers tend to emphazise on feedback mainly from the US boards?

This is not true at all.

It is correct that the developers are located in the US, but that doesn't mean that they favour feedback from a specific group of players more simply because they can post on the US boards.

The developers are constantly receiving feedback from all the WoW forums worldwide, and they really do not care about from which WoW forum the feedback was originally posted. Of course there is a difference in the method of how feedback is gathered and forwarded to the developers; in the non-English WoW forums for an example, there are translation matters to take into consideration when gathering feedback, but time zones and geographical location of course also has an influence on the flow of information. The important thing is that player feedback from around the globe is reaching the developers and it is all equally appreciated.
