Chase Christian: Do you feel that Blizzard actually implements player suggestions and feedback? Do you prefer your role as player and "stress tester"; or if offered, would you prefer to be behind the scenes designing the internal components?
Vulajin: In all seriousness, I do think players make contributions at both ends of the spectrum. Many changes are not matters of exact balance, but matters of opinion. As a result, by making persuasive arguments, players have gotten changes implemented. For example, I'd like to think my passionate posts arguing for the removal of positional requirements on abilities helped get Mutilate changed in beta. And I'm also about 90% certain that input from the community primarily led to the removal of the cooldown on Fan of Knives (coming in patch 3.0.8). Frankly, having some inside knowledge of the industry, I would say that I prefer being on the outside [when it comes to design]. Being on the outside enables you to work with the entire community, to figure things out for yourself, and to participate in the constant process of evolution that is the MMO experience.
In closing
Chase Christian: One last question. If you could take one talent/spell from another class, what would you take (for Rogues, not you personally)?
Vulajin: I choose Blink. Note that if I had my way, Blink would work properly 100% of the time, and we would get this 100% working version. The first reaction to this suggestion is probably, "we already have that, it's called Shadowstep." Yes, but Shadowstep doesn't break roots, doesn't break stuns, and has a 30 second cooldown. In addition, Shadowstep requires a hostile target. Blink does break roots and stuns (though it doesn't break snares), has a 15 second cooldown, and requires no target.
Blink would give rogues an on-demand movement tool that could be useful not only in getting to a target quickly, but also in getting away from a target quickly. In PvE, it would reduce the impact for Mutilate specs not having Camouflage, and for all specs not having Fleet Footed. And of course, whenever you happen to just be running around unmounted, Blink enables you to cut your travel time by a substantial amount.
Now good luck convincing Blizzard to give it to us. :)
