Does the forums need a rework?

Curious what you mean by this. I know Reddit gets to interview the dev sometimes, but in essence so do we (and more of our questions are answered than reddit's). It would be weird to have our own CM create questions and then interview them, would feel like a a PR stunt lol. So in so much that it makes sense our community gets more attention than reddit's I believe. Could always nominate an interviewer or entirely free form question interview with the forums (most upvoted questions get asked), but if it's free form I think you'll get a lot of thicc bum questions and if it's a specific person then how in the world are you going to decide who without making someone annoyed lol.

There's frequent mention of Reddit in the liveletters, the feedback there, posts, etc.. We seldom hear about the official forums. Some forums have been making amazing feedback threads that cover a lot of ground when it comes to what people would like to see within some features. Some, decently easy fixes. Sadly, over the years, when those features do get changes they aren't only out of line with what had been posted/desired, but the complete opposite at times. Which really imprints the feeling of not being heard.

It's a bit of a running joke that you come to the forums to vent, not to be heard by the devs. Especially if you hang out in the healer forums and have been getting SE's cold shoulder for the past 4 years.
