Neth, Tseric, Caydiem, Eyonix, etc, etc. How many times do these people have to make fools of themselves attempting to "understand" a class' pvp problems? I'm sick of reading Tseric's class posts in any forum; saying how priests are the best healers if they spec right (paladin pvp healers anyone?) or in shaman forums telling them that elemental shamans should melee. I don't blame him or any other CM, I blame blizzard for obviously not getting a good mix of CM's who are KNOWLEDGABLE in different fields of the game.

There's two obvious aspects of this game...PVE and PVP. How much sense does it make to just hire CM's that just understand the PVE element of the game, and perhaps a very limited amount of PVP knowledge (usually limited to their main's experience.) Contrary to what is to be believed by listening to CM's, there ARE people who play wow that have multiple 70's by now and know A LOT of the problems facing MULTIPLE classes in pvp. These people are the one's you want as CM's!

I'm not saying the current CM's are worthless, they're people persons...that's what they do best, they may not know every class like some people, they may not know the major problems of every class, but they sure know how to selectively respond to threads, and gosh darn, ain't they witty sometimes?

But, for the love of Thrall, can we please get some diversity in the CM core? Keep the cute little current ones for those witty yet useless responses they're renowned for and perhaps hire some more knowledgable one's for the actual hard hitting data, problem solving posts.

Just think it over.

P.S. for the current CM's: There's a pretty pink bunny in the next post, quick find something witty to respond with and ignore this post (or just accidently prove your worth and forward it to someone with value.)

Also, you named some CMs with PvP server experience on your list.

yeah, corrected the mispelling prior to seeing your post. And frankly, joining an av once, doesn't qualify someone as being knowledgable in pvp.

k?

Half of our team PvPs heavily, the other half does not. We are both balanced and working as intended.

Green AND blue colored posts?!?

All we need now is some Yellow and Red and we have a bag of M&Ms

Key to enjoying WoW: Stop reading the forums!

Why is it that people complain about draenei being space paladins from a spaceship, yet nobody complains about orcs being space shaman from a stargate?

So that explains why...Well, no, nevermind.

Attention, blood elf rogues:

Do you guys ever get pwned and go hassle the devs? I would. I don't QQ on the forums but you can be damn sure my nametag at work would read, "Hello, my name is QQ".

Well then, here's a crazy idea...How about assigning those CM's who have, "pvp'd heavily" into a class they've become accustomed to and know their problems to speak on behalf of those classes? The only CM I've seen lately even attempting to understand the problems of classes is Tseric. So I suppose he must compromise "half" of your team. The other 5 "half" are reserved to respond with witty posts or provide nothing worthy in a promising post.
