Mind Flay scaling once again.

This is our most used spell, our bread and butter, it is singled out from a system of scaling that applies to every other damagespell currently in the game and not one word do we deserve. Complaints and questions have been heard for the better part of two years but not one comment, clarification or motivation for this has once been given by the representatives. Why is this, isn't it obvious that its the single most important question from the shadowpriest community? Not during the first years of the game, not during our review, not even during the betatesting where it's changing up and down. What is this?

Vaneras, Ommra, I do not even know if anyone on Blizzard even can answer me. I do not even know if it was initially a mistake back when Mind Flay went from instant to channeling that was never corrected. I do not know anything. All I have is rumours and ideas thrown out from a community that is basicly trying to pull answers out of thin air. Why are we left guessing like this, is there a reason we are not told anything at all? Why are there even CM's if not even a very justified question regarding our primary spell doesn't deserve recognition when asked over and over and over again?

Isn't it obvious that we need some light on this issue? Please tell us the reasoning for not making this spell play by the same rules as all other spells in your game.

EDIT: And we have now reached the point in BC where this really comes into play. Surprised?

I will try to get an answer to this, but I'm afraid I can't give any guarantees. Everyone is very busy these days but I'll do my best.

I'm afraid this seems to be taking a bit longer than I first expected. Sadly I will not be able to give you a reply this week either. I apologize for that. I will let you know as soon as I have any news for you.

I also upped the limit of this thread a bit so that you can keep posting.
