Not enough publicity on some hot topics

#1 - Jan. 12, 2012, 2:19 p.m.

I think there isn't enough publicity on some hot topics, like for example the Vial of Shadows problem in competitive PvP. They are simply "not visible" for the developers.

Follow the history and see for yourselves:
Nerf DK - 3770 threads - no nerfs or fixes so far!
http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/search?q=nerf+DK
Nerf Frost Mages - 2652 threads - no nerfs or fixes so far!
Nerf http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/search?q=nerf+frost+mages
Nerf Rogues - 2941 threads - no nerfs or fixes so far! Buffed instead.
http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/search?q=nerf+rogues

And you think that with 297 threads on Vial of Shadows someone will actually "see" that problem?
On the contrary - buffed instead (for Hunters).

if you want to get something fixed, more publicity and threads are needed.

Either that or Blizzard simply doesn't care on the amount of threads and these Forums are rendered pretty much useless when it comes to PvP issues.

EDIT: Please note, that this is not a "Vial of Shadows" nerf thread. It simply says that there are a lot of things that everyone knows are damn wrong, yet no one ever speaks about them...

Do remember that the search feature goes right back to the creation of the forums and as such you will get many outdated threads, so it is not 100% reliable to take that as an exact statistic for how many threads there are on those topics you mentioned.

I believe that a large number of these topics have been in reference to Blood Death Knights and their feedback was that Vengeance was making them far too strong in PvP, this could be less of an issue now in the coming patch because of this change:

World of Warcraft PTR Patch 4.3.2 Notes:
Classes: General
Vengeance is no longer triggered by receiving damage from other players.

Nerf Rogues - 2941 threads - no nerfs or fixes so far! Buffed instead.

As again, most of these (if you ignore the ones that are far too old) are feedback players are giving about rogues being too strong mostly because of the legendary quest line daggers and the DS Trinkets. There is a thread here about PvE gear in PvP which I posted in: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/3161496140

We are always reading the forums and passing on your feedback to the developers. As Dalrian said though:

But you get more publicity by making 1 big thread than by making 50 small ones like they do now. With 1 big thread, you'll appear on the popular topics section for days, you might get a blue reply so you will end up on the bluetracker etc etc.
