Does Blizzard Really Hate Paladins? The Video Series
Browsing around the WoW Forums, I discovered this very interesting thread. Longwriter from Hyjal-US has taken a tremendous amount of effort to construct this documentary on whether Blizzard likes us or not. It’s all factual based, presenting information from way back in the pre-Beta stage. For a very long-time Paladin like me, it brings up all sort of memories — disappointments, excitements, and a bad mix of both. Definitely check out these videos to see how Paladins have evolved, and has Blizzard really been listening to us? High recommended to all Paladins!
Note: There are 14 videos in total, with only 11 videos being released thus far. Some of these are 3-minute long, and the longest is only around 9-minute long.
At Isthel’s request, here is the third thread.
Having looked at some of the more recent changes, it’s pretty obvious that at least part of the Blizzard company is listening to us, so I think I’ll keep giving them that $15 per month, after all—as long as I still have time to play, anyhow. So the first paragraph of my original OP is somewhat moot, but oh, well: I’ll re-post it, anyhow.
And if Judginator or anyone like him comes in here trolling again, pay no attention to him. I, for one, will click the little icon next to his name with a red X, since, try as I might to be fair and reasonable with him, he won’t reciprocate that courtesy.
Anyhow, here’s the re-posting of my original OP:
I’ve tried a few crazy things to get the devs attention over the years—most have had no positive effects to speak of. Here’s my last-ditch effort before I stop giving them $15 per month: a mockumentary.
I’ve been working on this video for weeks; it’s an attempt to discern whether Blizzard hates paladins or not that looks at paladins’ history, going more or less in chronological order. I feel like this movie is almost more a slideshow with voiceovers and some occasional footage than it is a movie, but I figure so long as it’s informative and funny enough to get attention, it’ll still work.
It’s my hope that this video will inform the masses and get through to the devs—communication from Blizzard is so scarce that it’s hard to tell whether the forums are working or not.
Meh, enough of my long writing (hence my name); here are links to the parts of it that are out right now, and placeholders for links to the future parts that haven’t yet been made:

More videos are included after the jump.
