How much input?

This is a genuine post, with the serious question of just how much input does the European forum have on WoW?

After reading responses to various people on US forums, from Ghostcrawler, lead systems designer, I have to wonder- if their input and questions are obviously being addressed (and if they pay attention to the bad ones, they surely pick up on the good stuff), how much attention gets paid by senior developers to the European forums? Do we have someone with the same company weight as GC reading our posts?

So the question is really to you blues who post here: how far up the ladder are you, really, and just how monitored are the EU forums? Are we administered by tea bringers, junior, mid or senior level people?

If the post is too long; how much weight and attention at Blizz HQ would an excellent suggestion from the EU forums get in comparison with the same post on the US forums?

Points will be awarded for honesty, and who knows, this could be tested.....
