Why do people say that blizzard...

Why do people say that blizzard has to stop focusing on things like druid art than focusing on balancing PvP and expanding PvE. They say that blizzard is wasting their time on it.

^ I don't understand that, its not like the art designers are also the ones writing quest lines, figuring out how to balance PvP, and expanding PvE content. There is a team for designers, this means improving game designs. Would you rather just pay the designers to do nothing? What the designers do have absolutely nothing to do with the team who balances PvP. People need to stop whining about that and think about it first.

Also one more thing, why are 90% of the druid community complaining about the designs? After all these years be grateful you get progression on druid skins.

Many players are very passionate about the game and in turn their character(s) of choice. When people are really passionate about something they will focus on what it is they are looking for and it is quite likely they will express the feelings they have on the topic. We understand this and we are used to this.

A lot of people don't understand the dynamics of having such a large team working on something and how certain people work on different sections while bringing it all together at some point. We understand this and we are okay with this - we will keep working on the game and keep working on providing the best content that will be the most positive impact to it.

Now post some class q&a's

>.>

We are working on them pretty much everyday. We hope to get the first couple up this week but like I have mentioned before, these take a lot of coordinating with other regions and in turn translation to get them all ready together. You will start seeing some soonish.

Q u o t e:
If druids are getting this much attention from the art team in the form of new models for their forms, can other classes hope to get love from the art team in other ways? Such as new spell animations, perhaps, or more importantly class mounts?

Note: I'm a paladin and this is my main so I'm not angling for this for my own purposes. But certain classes, like shamans and mages, seem like logical choices for class mounts.

Eh? Eh? This is what happens when you give 11.5 million mice cookies, but only 1 million of them can eat them.... >: D

Our art team is constantly working on new things, but just because we have done some druid forms for the first time in, well, years, doesn't mean we are working on something for every class as they already have "all the other stuff" to keep working on.

That said, you did ask if they will get some attention "in other ways" and to that I will say sure, it's nice and vague but yeah, we have some fun things planned.
