    Dunno, could be infected by the shit you posted, hence the comment for the shit.
    FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..

    For gods sake people it is a 90 day suspension from 7 countries until we can sort out a better way of verifying that the people coming from said countries are not coming with ill intent. Why this is being blown up into something it isn't is beyond me. Trust me, there is no sweeping ban on all immigration, I am a commercial pilot and see lots of it everyday of my life. Take a deep breath and it will all be over before you know it.

Having to provide paperwork they aren't ready for or in the position to show when out-of-country and trying to return is a repeat story you can find easily on the internet.

    Trump is making a public ass of himself and spitting in the face of US ideals and some people will mindlessly cheer for him regardless. It's pathetic.
    Almost all of the ones that are traveling legally on visas have been sorted out. Even for those very few that are affected by this, it is only for 90 days. The other option, open the boarders like France and see how well that works out.

    Admittedly it would have been nice to have some more warning on this so that everyone could prepare for the 90 day ban, but I can also see their point in not wanting to give a warning. Although, its not like Trump didn't say this was going to happen while campaigning so it shouldn't be that big of surprise to anyone.

    expected it to be about the botting bans not the entitled millenial kiddies and their faux drama over the supposed "muslim" ban lol.

    do they even teach history anymore or do people just not care about the state and future of the country?

    As an old saying goes "making a mountain out of a molehill" and this is what most of those against all this are trying to do.. At the rate things are deteriorating in the US would not be surprised one bit to see another Civil War break out..

    OT The title of this thread is very much clickbait to be sure..

    The people jumping to the conclusion that everyone affected by this are either A) Illegals or B) Terrorists, showcase exactly how a retarded cheeto such as Trump could come into power.

    Botters are rarely driven by boredom, fyi. People being bored in an expansion like Legion though sure are trying hard to be...

    Considering that Blizzard is an international company that moves its employees around often, this information makes a lot of sense.

    Before, they could move techs across borders easily for maintenance, upgrades, repair, and upkeep. Now, that will cost more money for them to be able to do since it is going to become illegal. Temporary work visas no longer will cover the extended periods of time that server-based work generally requires.

    This, by expectations, isn't "proof" that Blizzard employs illegals, as it was legal to move people around a company under temp visas and now it won't be.

    From this post it's pretty clear you have no understanding of the situation at all.

    The whole ban people from that and that country thing is a fucking mess. Of course you can't exactly expect someone whose likely answer is " nuke it " to any problem he is faced with to actually handle something in a non-hamfisted way.

    Hardly proof that they're hiring illegals though.

    There are employees that have family, residences, and travel to the middle east. This is what the email addresses if you were to read it. These people did have the right to legally work for Blizzard, and now they are going to be forced to choose between their families, residences in these countries, travel to these countries, etc. and working for Blizzard, being an American based company that will be restricted by these new policies.

    Yeah me too, thread title should be edited to be more clear about its topic and should be moved to OT with all the other Trump treads.

    OT, if Blizz employees were botting or some of them are the carriers for RLM boosts thru those website spams we see in game. I highly doubt they would come out and say it.
