How Suggestions Are Reviewed

How Suggestions Are Reviewed

What gets serious consideration

• Quality-of-life improvements that don't change game balance
• New cosmetic content (transmogs, mounts, pets, toys)
• Server features outside the game world (forum, web, ticket flow, in-game commands)
• Bug-fix-adjacent fixes where Blizzard's original behavior was clearly broken

What's a hard sell

• Class balance changes — we generally hold to the original 3.3.5a state
• Adding content from later expansions (Cataclysm, MoP, etc.) — out of scope for WotLK
• Loot rule changes that affect competitive raiding fairness
• Anything that requires custom client-side files

How to write a good suggestion

1. Lead with the problem, not the solution. "Mailbox is hard to find in Dalaran" beats "add a mailbox at X coordinates"
2. Explain who benefits and how often
3. If you're proposing a number change, say what the current number is and why the new one is better — not just "buff X"
4. One suggestion per thread — bundling makes them harder to discuss

After you post

• Other players may discuss and disagree — that's expected, this isn't a vote
• Staff may stay quiet while the discussion plays out, or weigh in if there's a clear yes/no
• A reply from staff isn't a guarantee or a denial — it's a temperature check
