Q u o t e:
1. When you say if this happens, then we will do that.. how do you determine if those criteria have been met?
For example.. you have said that if damage is still too high for PVP-geared players, something would be done about it. More recently, you said that if Priests stop getting raid spots, the developers will find ways to buff them.
You obviously don’t (nor should you) go by what people say on the forums. Your internal testing doesn’t agree with our observations or it never would have gotten to this point in the first place. You certainly don’t watch every single game or base decisions on limited statistics (after all, numbers can be taken a dozen different ways and don’t reveal reasons).
So HOW would you decide that yes, PVP damage is too high if not from the forums or statistics? Likewise with Priests and raid spots. Are you checking who is doing how much healing for every single raid on every single realm? If not, how would you even know that this was the case?
Basically what I’m saying is.. it doesn’t look like there’s any way for you to really check if any of these things are happening.

We have a lot of tools available that we don’t publicly discuss. Forums and statistics certainly weigh into that. So does feedback from expert players and internal testing.

Q u o t e:
2. Why not be more honest? You can tell people something they don’t want to hear and make them angry, or you can avoid certain issues + word things in a way that might keep people happy.. and make them REALLY angry.
This seems to be – no offense – rookie public relations work. Which is to be expected, since GC is a game developer and not a public relations expert.
Be honest.
PVP damage is not going to change this season. It’s obvious to anyone who is paying any attention or has any common sense (in regards to the unfairness of major changes mid-season). You’re going to let this season play out, check the detailed standings and stats near the end, see how the best players at each class managed versus specific comps, and otherwise take a good hard look at it then.
Likewise with Priests. Any changes you do make will be along the lines of mana costs, coefficients, bonuses from talents… tweaking sort of stuff. You’re not going to give them a niche. You’re not going to completely overhaul the mechanics of any of their spells. The sort of changes players are wanting, the large-scale stuff, the ETA on those changes isn’t measured in months and patches.. but years and expansions.
Why not just say it clearly and directly? Sure, it will make some people angry.. but then they can make an informed decision and move on. As it stands, people are harboring false hopes and are ‘in limbo,’ which just makes them angrier.

Heh. I try to be very honest, and we’re generally not at all afraid to make people angry. We are going to do what we think is right for the game, not what will earn us the most immediate kudos on the forums. Elemental dps was too low coming into Lich King and would have lagged behind as players got more gear. Warlocks were too easy to kill in PvP. Unholy DKs were too good in PvP and dual-wield DKs were too good in PvE. Those are mistakes we made. There are others we are working on that we aren’t ready to talk about yet (generally because we haven’t finalized a solution). I have mixed feelings about announcing problems when we don’t have solutions. Those postst tend to generate a lot more anxiety (and launch dozens of threads) among the players than if we are also able to add “and here is what we are doing about it.”
I don’t even have a problem telling the community “We don’t know yet,” though that often causes equal frustration. (“How could you NOT know? It’s so clear to us. We’ve been telling you since beta and you IGNORED us.”) Players are right a lot. They are wrong a lot too.
I suspect that what you’re getting at here is that you just disagree with me, can’t understand how that possibly could be the case, so conclude it as deceit on my part.
红色部分： 元素萨的DPS太低了。术士PK太容易死了。DK PK太牛B了，双持DK输出又太高了。这些都是我们犯的错！
