I played WoW way back in the day and they had class liasons. By this I mean there was a person who was both (at least in theory) an advocate for the class as well as the mouth piece for Blizzard. S/he was a “whipping boy” when things went poorly and the savior of the class when they went well. This may or may not still be around (I haven’t played WoW in ages).
My question, is why isn’t there someone like this? This seems like it could alleviate a lot of the forum issues.
Currently we Necros feel like we get less back and forth than some of the other classes. This may be the case, but it isn’t necessarily unfair. Some issues are bigger etc. That said, it will pretty much always feel unfair.
We also feel as if there is no one person at ANet that understands the issues of our class. It wasn’t until relatively recently that our class was given a philosophy (which was far from thorough) which left many of us not even quite sure what our class was supposed to be doing.
Finally, there is a lot of complaining in this profession forum specifically. A lot of it isn’t justified but a lot of it is. A class rep would be more able to separate the wheat from the chaff.
