Yet another Timewalking loot post ( As directed by GM)
Opened timewalking Cache before hotfix
Did Blizzard just hotfix an ilvl requirement onto Awakened LFR?
Currency Conversions Coming with Patch 4.4.0 on April 30
MMO-Champion
Personally i am offended by how blizzard handles things and i really do miss the soul of World of Warcraft.
I got a refund on the pre-order and i am happy being able to spend that money on something i enjoy
With BlizzCon coming up, i was wondering how the emotional and professional impact on Blizzard would be if people who were butt-hurt by Blizzard simply didnt show up in protest.
I bet they would feel obliged to do something.
Hold back your attention and money. That is basically what feeds the obese Blizzard Lizard.
What do you guys think about that?

Blizzcon is an amazing event and it will be even more amazing this year being the 10 year anniversary of Blizzcon.

Almost no one would spend all that money for Blizzcon and then not go. Not going to happen.

Can you effectively boycott something that sells out in minutes?

Plus if you weren't going to go how could you resist throwing the tickets on ebay for $500 each? Originally Posted by Twilight Cultist

I'm pretty sure they sell out of Blizzcon tickets every year.
It would be akind to trying to boycott Glastonbury
Someone who wants to be there will simply take your place.

I think it's stupid. You paid for your ticket price, not going hurts you far more than it hurts blizzard. In fact you're hurting your fellow gamers by denying them the ability to go being an even bigger douchebag then you've imagined Blizz to be.
Hell I wish I had the money to go just to counter protest people like you and extra money to blow on dumb shit, never bought more than food and a t-shirt the 3 times I went. Although honestly I wish I could go regardless of whatever petty protest is going on.“Logic: The art of thinking and reasoning in strict accordance with the limitations and incapacities of the human misunderstanding.”

Isn't there at least one "Boycott Blizcon" thread every year?
But good on you OP! Stick it to the man!
But generally, you're completely right about things: You should spend your money on things you enjoy.

I'm actually going to agree with Jaylock on this O.o I wish every year I had the ability to make it to Blizzcon, and this year should be big. Plus, a lot of people ENJOY the direction blizz is taking with legion (I'm one of them) and also, last I check WoW wasn't their only IP and there's many other blizzard IPs I enjoy (HS, HotS and D3) so I'd be there in a heartbeat if I could but alas, at least I should be able to afford a virtual ticket this year!

You can protest all you want but nothing will stop that train.

My favorite part was when the OP called himself butt-hurt.

Blizzard is not killing your cats and doing mass murders, it's a waste of time to even consider protesting about a company that is earning money in a respectable way by releasing art and video games. If that's not respectable to get money then I don't know what else is. Use your energy to fight other things, but not an entertainment company. If you don't like the game don't play it. Feedback if you like. Proceed in making interesting things in your life.

Why would I want to boycott Blizzard? How dare Blizzard offer me something that has entertained me for 12 years, sure it's not free but they don't fucking owe me anything either.
This is excluding the entertainment I've got from Warcraft 1, 2 and 3. Starcraft 1 and 2. Diablo 1, 2 and 3, Hearthstone and Heroes of the Storm.
Get fucking real.
How do you even boycott Blizzcon? Buy a $500 ticket then...wipe your ass with it? Wtf. Braindead thread seriously.Last edited by Radaney; 2016-04-25 at 05:48 PM.
