The following are the number of Blue Posts in The Class Forums over the last 6 months unless otherwise noted:
Hunters = 19
Druids = 80
Rogues = 60
Shamans = 100+last month
Paladins = 36
Priests = 100+2 months
Warriors = 32
Warlocks = 54
Mages = 34
At first I felt bad for the hunters and warriors, then I noticed the caliber of the blue posts. Almost every single blue post in the Hunter and Warrior forums answered a question put forth by the community and was very informative. I encourage you to go look for yourselves.
Now lets look at some of the 34 blue posts over the last 6 months in the Mage forums.
Q u o t e:
I just realized you all had pie over here. All I got were cookies and tea.... ~Nethaera
Q u o t e:
Someone beat you to it. :)
@ Neth or other blue, Milk + cookies for you!  ~Nethaera
Q u o t e:
I'm sorry, but it just can't trump chocolate chip. Not even if the oatmeal cookies have raisins.~Nethaera
Q u o t e:
Wait... what kind of cookies are we talking about. I'm not very partial to oatmeal... ~Nethaera
Q u o t e:
I closed my eyes for a second, but it's ok now. ;) ~Nethaera
Q u o t e:
I have a mage, true, and it doesn't hurt to always strive to learn more. Anyone that says they know everything is most likely fooling themselves. I know I don't know everything, but you can bet I'll work to learn what I don't know. ~Nethaera
Q u o t e:
My birthday is the 14th, Eyonix's the 12th and Drysc's the 11th. What did you get us? ;p ~Nethaera
Q u o t e:
Post cap lifted by request. ~Nethaera
Q u o t e:
The picnic was good, didn't get to go to the BBQ though due to an illness in the family so I read instead. Thanks for asking.~Nethaera
Q u o t e:
:( Great. Another black spot on my permanent record. ~Nethaera
Q u o t e:
I don't have it, but I've been the recipient of it. I don't know if it's worse than being pigged though. ;) ~Nethaera
Q u o t e:
Patch Notes for 2.1... ~Nethaera
Q u o t e:
Increased the chance Frozen effects are broken when the target is critically struck by a spell.
*This note was unintentionally left out of the patch notes but is now properly listed. ~Nethaera
Q u o t e:
... ~Eyonix
Had you been posting on Elitist Jerks, you would have been Banned from the forums long ago for Useless Posts. Furthermore, there is a trend in how Blues deal with threads requesting mage answers.
Q u o t e:
It's a nicely laid out post. Thanks for that.
How many agree with these points and have additional feedback? ~Nethaera
Q u o t e:
Please post your questions or concerns in this thread. We will do what we can to compile them and answer what we can over the duration of the testing of the new patch. Please be aware that we may not get to every question, but we will do what we can. We would like to encourage everyone to please test the patch prior to posting when possible so that we can get the best possible feedback.~Nethaera
Q u o t e:
Call for feedback is my way of letting people know I saw the thread and thought it was well thought out and organized. The information of course will be forwarded. I can't guarantee if and when said information will be used. That's not my call, but I have no doubt there are some gems that can be gleaned from here. ~Nethaera
Here is Nethaera replying to a mage with similar concerns to mine.
Q u o t e:
Thanks for the info. However, why is it that whenever there is a significant discussion following a Blue post, you Blizzard guys never respond to the concerns raised, and will instead single out an unrelated post and respond to that? ~Rumblebub
Q u o t e:
Pretty simple, sometimes we need to ask and get more answers. Sometimes we don't have any answers for a bit either. For obvious reasons everyone is working long hours on the expansion and various tasks so we may not always get the answers for people as quickly as people may want but we do what we can. ~Nethaera
Recently Nethaera posted
Q u o t e:
I'm putting some blue on this thread, but please refrain from posting /signed in it. If you have an opinion, agree/disagree with what is in discussion, please say so. /signed doesn't tell us anything more and isn't constructive to the discussions at hand. ~Nethaera
then
Q u o t e:
The reason we say that /signed doesn't help is because we want to see more discussion to go with it. It helps gauge where the heart of a concern may be. It doesn't guarantee that we are going to make any changes based on that, but then again, it doesn't mean we aren't going to take it into consideration for changes that are yet to come either. Some people are concerned more for PvP, some for PvE and some for both. Some Raid, some don't as we well know from many discussions and "flame" wars we see on the forums about these topics. We like seeing discussion, what we don't like doing is promising anything we can't deliver on. ~Nethaera
Nethaera, we have been discussing this for a long as time. Our threads have been deleted or ignored. I personally think it is insulting for you to post here about us /signing threads. I am pretty tired of rewriting what has been deleted and ignored and would rather /sign a post that clearly articulates what I have been writing in the past.
Consider the /signed posts to be us rewriting what the OP wrote. We've already had the discussion, you just missed it.
I and many of my fellow mages would appreciate if you addressed our concerns with answers instead of more "Let's have more Discussion" posts.
P.S. I have this copied.
