I wish the mods were actually respond to topics that aren’t their own. Sly and Ratbat did this and are still hailed from veterans as a result. Current administration lacks connection with the players in pretty much all regards on the forums.

Ribble was on vacation.  But he overseas a lot more than just the NA Forum and English Discord. 
  For WG direct feedback your better off on the Discord as several are there.

I think most of us miss the older days where we had our NA crew, who checked in daily; even if they did not respond to that many public threads either.

Yes and No, I liked them - but at least I can ask Ribble a question and get an answer.  
  Ryan and the rest needed to ask Ribble or others the question and it often took week of it was even answered.  
 

I guess the question

As long as you aren’t guessing the answers I’m good with that.

Fair point, they were our point of contact and for some stuff, they could not provide answers without checking with RU. 

 

But, they had presence, some fun Friday events, extra chances to win something, ...

Yes community outreach was much higher.  
  It generally needs to be in young games - I think the NA crew did a good job of that early on.  
 

Don’t get me wrong, I miss them. I think they tried exceptionally hard to make the NA server for Blitz as fun as it could be.  
 

That said, as Blitz grew, the need for that eroded, and after the EU crew made several odd remarks and WG needed to have comments redacted several times by NA and EU staff, it became obvious that Blitz wasn’t working with Regional staff.  
  Now it should have been easy to do, but the general nature of WG made that impossible. 
 

I think the best ‘return’ to something like that is seeing if every few weeks we can get some sort of Q&A going with Ribble. 
  If people are interested I can see if he’d been willing to do this.   We could have some questions in advance- that like the old Dog’s Den was setup on the BCC Discord that we could assemble here and vote on for a top 5 or so questions - and go from there.  
 

No guarantees, as I know Ribble is running around like a Chicken with his head cut off at the moment, but we can ask.

Only time Ribble is on here is to post news or balance changes because he has to, not because he wants too.

He doesn’t have to. He can have a mod do it, or simply link people to discord.  
  The dude is literally running around doing about 6 peoples jobs. 
He does it because he feels it’s valuable.

Didn.t know that was from him specifically. Thought it was something from the top dogs.

 Well, busy or not. If a thread is remotely negative on WG it gets shut down right quick. I’m on here early in the morning and get to see a lot of threads I don’t consider problematic that disappear a short while later....

Perhaps it is the rest of the NA mods? 
  I know many of us are getting sick and tired of repeated garbage.  
 

Negative and factual are fine. But most of the trashed threads are not factual, just some angry player dumping. 

[acrisis]

One can say plenty of negative things, as long as it is constructive to the game and forum conversation. . 

 

The key is to do it an objective & factual manner about the game, as feedback. 

 

So, without accusations towards WG as company, insulting WG staff members nor enthusiasts of the game and / or fellow forumers, personal attacks on players, personal feuds, ...
