Seriously, check out my idea for warriors on the WoW forums (if you play WoW) and post your comments and suggestions here please. Hopefully Blizzard will catch sight of it!

Suggestion forums [especially for Blizzard] are like a giant sink hole with which they can distract players with a faint glimmer of hope that their thoughts may affect the game positively.

I sent an email to them and I'm wondering if the guy is extremely professional (as most of my email encounters have been) or if it was a bot.
I'm betting on professional. ^^;;
Greetings, [email@domain.com],
We here at Blizzard appreciate every email you send us, and your complaint/concern/kind words/suggestion/question/cheese/other has been noted and we will discuss the matter in our next daily board meeting where we discuss how the community has been feeling and how we can improve their playing experience based on their advice.
Also, have you checked out some of our cool deals and partners? More info <a href='http://www.blizzard.com' target='_blank'>here</a>.
Sincerely,
John Doe.
- then it's probably an auto-reply. I could be wrong, though.
I have a warrior at level 24 that I stopped. It was useless, all the battles were the same, and I'd always be replaced by a rogue. No way in hell I'm waiting to fifty until I'm useful. (edit): One small note, I made a rogue. Although I'm going to make a warrior again and hope for the best, it just suits my playing style. I love having the best armor on, having the huge sword or sword and shield, and being able to take damage as well as dish it out. It just so happens that we suck at everything and look cool, hardly furfilling our rolls....
....I hope someone smart at Blizzard sees my system and then in the next patch you'd see it in there, and I'd get no credit for it, except I'd be happy. People would claim it was all Blizzard's idea, but man, it was me that fixed warriors. Me!
Warriors are very important in insctances and groups but they can't hold aggro against a shaman that is not even attacking!
I was grouping with 2 warriors and all the enemy healers and mages were attacking me because I healed them up all the time. That was very sucky.
Anyway, double up rage-regeneration and lower some of the dmg and effects from the abilities.. Gives TM a buff for 10/rank rage retained when switching stances.
I played a warrior to lvl 30 in the OB and realdy there I felt I was gimp without having played other classes.
Seeing that I am one of 'them' by now, I'd just like to note that there has never been any obligation by any contract signed by any developer to sign the design of the game over to the players once the first release is done.
Guess what, folks, most developers are aware of the big issues of their game, and are pretty clear about which of the various possible solutions they want to try (worth to remember: There is no complex problem with only one valid solution), but are likely held back by other, higher-priority stuff (in Blizzard's current case likely the server situation and everything it entails). So if you offer a solution to such a problem, that's nice, and I wouldn't want to sit near the designer who does not feel flattered by the care that likely went into it, but realize that nobody ever asked you for it. Further, realize that everyone - literally every single player who invests time into a game - will have ideas of what to do better. Now consider that 'every single player' spans the threshold from 'rocket scientist' to 'hillbilly barely capable of operating the on-off-switch' - welcome to internet suggestion forums, especially in the case of community juggernauts such as WoW.
Even if you as a designer are out of ideas on an issue, and there's a glimmering gem of wisdom somewhere in there, it will likely be burried under so much stinking effluent that finding it will barely feel worth the effort to dig it out. We should all thank Zunni three times a day for the effort he puts into our I&S forums.
