TLDR: No. Beta attracts most of the folks who are interested in bug reports and feature enhancements.@Missanthropy will the US forums have something similar to what @Marindor is doing with the ideas & suggestions forum in Beta?
You may recall that Marindor was a US forum moderator at one point.and he was promoted to Beta, in part, because he was interested in that aspect of the game. He has access to the internal JIRAs that the developers use to track bugs.
The reality is that most of the folks who are interested in improving the game participate in BOTH forums, so there would be a lot of duplication. For bug reports, in particular Beta is a more effective platform for testing the recent changes, as very few of the folks in Beta are playing catchup.
In the production worlds and forums we're more effective when we concentrate on how to play the game that we have, and especially so when we offer discussions that focus on newer players who are still learning the ropes. That said we do quite a bit of MOANING when we're getting swamped with Support Tickets and related posts in the forum.
