So a blue just said that the highest rated post in the thread was post #73 which was:

What is your favorite escape/distraction when you arent working on WoW?


I simply don't believe it.

That's votes by the official forums morons, not by Blizzard. We'll see what they decide to answer.

Well we've learned a lot from this first round. We're waiting for some of the other regions to report in but we have a good selection of questions to get answered. One thing we had originally planned in the initial discussions of starting this up was to theme the weekly questions so as to give some direction to what the topic will be. It was sort of put aside to see how the base idea would work out without any theme to drive the topic of questions. This first round of what people asked and especially what large numbers of people actually vote for has shown us it's something we'll in fact need to use.

For example, the #1 most voted for question on these forums? "What is your favorite escape/distraction when you arent working on WoW?" By far it got the most votes. It sort of indirectly reveals a flaw in a 'sky's the limit' approach for what can be asked. It puts us in a weird spot because you all voted for it! But at the same time most people would probably be pretty upset if we took the time to answer it over something with more substance. Hopefully we can guide future Ask the Dev's to have more substantive questions by providing a topic to stick to.

Yeah, I don't believe it in regards to that being picked by the official forums people. I read that forum a lot and although there are a few people who like that sort of question I highly doubt that was the highest rated. It makes no sense.

So basicly they're saying, "We're going to put up questions and you choose the ones we'll answer."


Oh and the questions will be completely irrelevant to the game in it's current form.

Duh, they have screwed up the game so badly, they can't answer any question regarding the game anymore. They have to answer frilly, stupid questions. Because they are frilly, stupid people.

GC is so arrogant, I don't think he even believes that questions can be asked. There is only The Visionâ„¢

I would ask: When are you going to make healing fun and viable again?
