Moonkins have been posting Endless Threads of Discussion/Glitches/And about our main problems
but yet we see a blue post or a patch note saying hey we are workin on your class/spec


This is how 95% of the moonkins feel

Q u o t e:
This is really sad on a lot of levels. I'm just at a loss of what to say here, other than I really hope that you have something waiting in the wings, an ace in the hole if you want to phrase it that way, for us. These notes suggest a number of things about your view toward the balance tree. It comes across as you haven't even looked at our tree with any sort of detail other than just fixing what you must assume a bug (owlkin) and probably a passing joke in survival instincts. It comes across as a lack of care to the spec as a whole in pve and pvp. It feels to us that you don't really give a damn about our concerns with the tree.

We have fought hard since you gave us just about everything we needed to be viable in BC to prove that we were viable in pve. A great many number of us fought hard with our guilds to let us try moonkin, to gear out moonkin and to show to not only themselves, but their guilds and the WoW community as a whole that moonkins could work with the limited tools we had even then. We fought with you guys for 3 months in beta trying to get the neccessary buffs to be able to remain competitve in pve and in pvp. While we got the pve buffs to at least keep us on the map, we got nothing in terms of pvp. We sat on those changes for a bit, because pvp while leveling wasn't going to be a major issue, and the arena season was not set to start for a while. Now that pvp is in full swing, and we quickly noted the issues with our pvp side of the tree, we have gotten nothing in return for our concerns other than a couple of passing comments that have nothing to do with the concerns we've laid out.

A lot of us are tired of fighting. Fighting our guilds to let us stay moonkins, fighting to try and enjoy pvp with the spec they enjoy the most, and fighting you guys and the apparant stone wall you've put up between yourselves and the moonkin community. I personally feel like I've been pushing this 500lb boulder up Mount Everest for the last 2 years I've played this spec full time, and Blizzard, you just rolled a 1000lb boulder down the hill at me, laughing as it makes it way toward me.

If you wanted to break our spirits, I think you have finally been successful in doing so. If you want the spec to become the running joke it was for pretty much three years, you're making successful steps to do so. I know you said that the notes were incomplete, but every class got a myriad of notes to rejoice over or to complain about. What did we get? Owlkin frenzy got nerfed, and you added an 11 point feral talent (a tree that has ZERO synergy with the balance tree) to be useable in moonkin form.

This reeks of nothing but a way to further ignore us. I don't have high hopes that you have the aforementioned ace in the hole, but even if you can't let us know the exacts of any changes you might have in store, at least communicate with us for 2 minutes to at least let us know that there's a reason to be hopeful that you won't give us another "We think you'll be excited about the changes" only to get our RNG stun removed.

The nerf to moonkin frenzy was because moonkin kept standing in the fire in order to enhance their dps, which seems like not the kind of gameplay we should be encouraging and makes healers write us nastygrams in all capital letters.

We realize it's a PvP nerf and we're trying to come up with other ways to solve the problem. It may be that the current implementation on Live is the best one after all.

But I didn't mean to derail a silly thread with actual info, so I'll try and pick up the topic again tomorrow in another thead and add to this one by saying:
