*Tinfoil Hat* Blizzard Fixing the World First race so a US guild wins?

[Deleted]

Blizzard got sick of Paragon and Ensidia being the poster boys for WoW... Seeing as both those guilds publicly criticize Blizzard. (Just listen to the Ensidia interview on Manaflask posted 2 days ago... Ensidia lay into Blizzard by calling them incompetent etc)

Blizzard are also sick of EU guilds dominating the game and the WoW devs feel the US should be at the top.

So, the plot begins. Blizzard decide to invite Blood Legion and Vodka to Blizzcon, (When 90 percent of players would have prefered to see Paragon v Method) Wait what? They are both US Guilds... Intresting.

So, the plot thickens. Blizzard ignore mass complaints about the LFR loot bug on PTR and let it go to live... Blizzard also ignore bug reports on live (Confirmed by Ensidias members taking screenshots of the tickets) Also if you listen to the Manaflask podcast with Ensidia, there was a GM present when Ensidia were exploiting and the GM said nothing to Ensidia about it... Which is strange seeing as usually GM's jump straight in and warn them about bugs etc.

So basically Blizzard was sitting there watching the top guilds exploit and didn't do anything about it... basically allowing this drama to happen... But... wait. It just so happens that the only 2 guilds out of the top 30 who didn;t exploit are... thats right... The two guilds who BLIZZARD chose to be the Blizzcon posterboys.

I have two theorys here... Either Blood Legion and Vodka did exploit and Blizzard helped cover it up... Or they were warned not to do it by GM's.

The the Icing on the cake. Instead of hotfixing the bug and banning the players Blizzard waited till the end of the week to ban them... Thus removing them from the World First race.

According to Blizzards policy, the max ban you can get is 72 hours... There has never been an 8 day ban in the history of WoW. Why would Blizzard, whos official stance is that they don;t care about World Firsts, suddenly decide to severely limit Paragon etcs ability to challenge for World First when they said themselves that they don;t care about World Firsts?

IMO... They want Blood Legion or Vodka to win... So they can use them to make more money off the game and promote more PvE stuff. Blizzard hate the fact that Paragon and Ensidia refuse to kiss their ass and they want the top guilds to support Blizzard and stop changing their customers minds about them.

Ie. When Paragon makes statements about Blizzards inability to release live raid content without bugs... Blizzards customers read that and have a worse opinion of Blizzard... Blizzard want the Poster boys to say 'nice' things about Blizzard. Blood Legion and Vodka have never had a bad word to say about Blizzard. Whereas all the other guilds publicly slate Blizzard on forums, websites, podcasts and Interviews... and Blizzard wants to stop that by killing off these guilds chances at World Firsts.

Also, it seems very suspicious that Blood Legion and Vodka are SO close in all their kills... All but one boss so far has been killed within 10 minutes or less of each other... That is the first time this has ever happened. No Race has been this close before (Well I say race... It's more like a two horse race.) So, I think Blizzard is secretly helping the guilds.

Ultraxion 25 man HC was supposed to be a huge cockblock... But Exodus downed it in 10 man... Then oh, what do you know? As soon as Blood Legion come back online the next day to start HC Progress again they down the Boss... the same Boss which just 6 hours ago they were wiping at 40 percent on... So overnight by some miracle they seemed to have gained 40 percent extra DPS... Then oh, Vodka get it as well. I think a GM is nerfing the boss just for those two guilds (Whether Blood Legion and Vodka are aware of that is another matter) Ultraxion 25 Man was supposed to be a huge gear check, like Baleroc but they downed it after a few attempts after waking up on day 2. Martin Fury much?

To put it in perspective... Enigma are wiping at 60 percent. There is no way in hell Blood Legion has 60 percent more DPS than Enigma... Enigma are still in the top 40 guilds in the world and are decked out with 25 members with full BiS gear.

TL;DR... Blizzard added the raid finder bug to bait the top EU guilds into getting banned... they banned them so Blizzard could ensure either Vodka or Blood Legion would get #1 and #2 so they can have the new poster boys as US guilds who fully support Blizzard... Instead of EU guilds who publicly criticize Blizzard.

I fully believe this is a conspiracy coming from deep within Blizzards financial team. They don;t want players to hear good stuff about the game so they are trying to remove the 'outspoken' guilds from the game so their reputation isn't damaged.

It's the same thing that happened to TotalBiscuit... He has 100000's of followers on youtube and he openly ripped Blizzard a new one because of their sub-par content... So they banned his forum account and removed his PTR access.

George Bush masterminded 9/11 so he could increase the stock price of haliburton and make Dick Cheney Richer.

If blizzard intentionally set up the LFR exploit then what reason would they have for thinking the US guilds would not take advantage of it and the EU ones would?

Or they used some fucking common sense.... dont exploit, simple isnt it ?

[herpecin]

the fact that paragon/ensidia KNEW about the bug, KNEW it was a bug, KNEW they shouldn't have been doing it, and still did it. makes it far worse then them just accidentally happening on it and thinking it was some grey area.

if anything them reporting it on PTR and then abusing it on live only makes them look worse.

Not that I really care about those conspiracy theories, but if you want to comment on anything you should read it first

MMO Champion is in on this conspiracy TOO then !

[Culexus]

So blizzard knew in advance that the us guilds wont exploit? SUUUUURE!

[Seebach]

Go work on the who shot JFK conspiracy, you might be better at that one.

[Lupercal]

Ok Blizzard isn't exactly the worlds most consistent company in terms of banning players for using bugs. Especially when this bug wasn't even all that fantastic. Basically all these players were gaining was set bonuses and it was from a very basic error on Blizzards part.

[belfpala]

I just want to take this moment to point out that tinfoil hats are to PREVENT your brain from being read by the powers that be. Stop using the term inappropriately.

Who gives a crap about World Firsts anyway anymore?
I dont... WoW is a dead fish.

Next Week sw:tor... w00t w00t !

[Lupercal]

I would agree with you that it's common sense but as I said Blizzard is extremely inconsistent with that they consider "bannable".

[Mustakrakish]

Blood Legion didn't exploit ... Look at their website. They ran 6 25 man groups first week. Absalom, one of their tanks was 4/5 397 T13 first week.

paranoia much?

So many Americans bashing this thread becasue they've got their feelings hurt. You know, truth hurts.

[Moltentank19]

Looks like Paragon(6/8) and Method(5/8) are doing fine... I guess they have alt accounts with geared toons.

[Smeeh]

wait... wheres the grainy close ups, recoreded on a cellphone, by a brave bystander, that blizzard didnt know about, that clearly show that you'r theory is correct?
