Not impressed with MVP posters...

#0 - Nov. 16, 2009, 8:11 p.m.

I've been coming to this site for awhile now and I have always found the topics to be fun and worth reading...Until I come across a post by a MVP poster.

I find that most of the time (My Opinion) the things they have to offer don't reflect the title of what a MVP poster would contribute to a discussion. I have found that the things that are posted do not apply to the conversation or are just completely inaccurate.

I just finished reading one post on a subject of gold buying and I was dumbfounded at the response that this person gave. I understand they were trying to give the best advice to the poster that started the conversation, but when it came right down to it, it was off base completely. No research what so ever was done other that it was against the TOS. (We all know that by the way)

From my point of view these people no longer qualify as MVP posters as the game has changed and so has the level and quality of questions and requests on the forums. If Blizzard wants to have a buffer between its self and the client, then maybe they should hire professional people that post, run, maintain forums and play World of Warcraft.

As of right now I have no desire to read another green post.

The purpose of the MVP program is to select regular players who are recognized for their knowledge and posting style on the forums, both by other players and Blizzard employees, to help represent the community. These posters are not professionals, nor do they work for Blizzard. The role you describe in the paragraph I've quoted falls under the purview of the World of Warcraft community managers. We run, maintain, and post on the forums as Blizzard employees.

I've locked this thread, as feedback regarding Blizzard employees or MVP posters we've selected should be directed to [email protected]. Thanks. :)
