The entire point is that Bellular has no authority, because he is in essence just another salty WoW player. Only difference is that he managed to turn his salt into money and even that only happened because people in this playerbase are so desperate to get bad news and have their negativity reflected back at them that Bellular became their icon.
And yes, there is a lack of respect on my part. Respect is earned and I have seen nothing from him that would earn him my respect.
That is not even remotely true. Many many other AAA titles have much bigger problems. WoWs biggest problem is that it tries to satisfy everyone, especially the loud minority that will never be satisfied anyway.
And after digesting all this information and having your "unique" prespective you happen to arrive at exactly the same conclusion that thousands of others have before and after watching Bellular. Curious. Do you think they all work for a studio too?
Sure, that is fine. Just don't expect anyone to believe you and respect your authority. The beauty of the internet is that anyone can claim everything and thus no one is entitled to authority just because of those claims. We can and will only judge you by your words not your alleged authority. It's just that simple.
You can make educated guesses, but they are just that, guesses. The information you need to make a factual claim is not avaiable on the net and you can't base an argument on guesswork. Having an opinion is fine, claiming this opinion is "true" because of data you don't have, is not.
Why do you think Classic dragged millions of players back?
WoW has become completely unrecognisable from the original game, graphics excluded. We can argue until we get blue about whether new WoW is good or bad, but it's undisputable that the model of the later years burns out anyone but the most zealous within a single major patch. With the increasing demand for gear, WoW has also become increasingly toxic, on top of increasing "difficulty"(that you bypass with gear), failure is now outright punished, I.e. downgraded keys. Fall behind on weekly progress and you are permanently behind.
Old WoW? Gear almost didn't matter. Some BiS gear could come from anywhere, including 5m dungeons and earlier raid tiers. In WoW classic you barely need gear at all. It's chill and stress-free.
You say the game isn't getting worse, but objectively it is. It is now a mobile game designed to hook and make addicts of the vulnerable to ensure monthly subs. FOMO is the main reason people log in daily, until they are burned out and give up.
It wasn't like that before.
then at least learn how to write then because your email was just as bad as most of these hate threads on mmo-champion/WoW forums. im surpised you even got a response to it. you literally started it with the stereotypical "No offense but (insert insult)" that is not how you write an email to a President of a company
Real or not, the comments here are funny to read.
Or...
People can still play yet point out the obvious flaws of the game?

My biggest question is if this is real, or fabricated. I'm down to assume it's real, but I don't know. If it is fabricated, the person at least got Brack's BS corporate text to speech lines down.
i didn't expect praise at all. honestly, i'm surprised the comments have been as positive as they have been. i expected this thread to either just die or not get anyone that's reasonable and willing to think critically. i just don't care about the opinions of people who will discount my opinion simply because my actions don't line up with their sense of right and wrong.
Would you have shared this email if it didn't contain phrases denouncing 3 popular influencers?
Is this yet another attempt to start drama and get nothing productive done in the process?

lets keep in mind that ion inherented that expansion after it had released. so ion wasn't really responsible for designing it. he really just led it through the 7.x patches which would have been planned out and been in the design process by then. please keep in mind expansions get developed years in advance.

Interesting comparison. "Taste" is indeed very subjective, what tastes well for one might not for the next.
So considering the guy that has hated the food for the last 5 years and made money off of hating it as an authority in the subject of food might be a bad idea. Maybe the food is fine and he just hates it because it pays the bills?
Food for thought (pun fully intended)
probably not. i don't imagine he cares.

first, i didn't try to cancel. i asked for a demotion to what he was good at. that isn't cancelling. second, we've tried talking systems and solutions with ion and he hasn't listened. that's why i started emailing these people.

it's not over one system. if i was that petty, i would've done this long ago back in legion. almost the entire game is bad at this point. that's why i did it.

i actually don't. i agree with asmongold on the idea that devs are suppose to listen to player feedback and ideas to determine the true issue and a real solution. the players can easily tell when a problem will happen. they aren't the best at fixing them though.

it's still alive. it actually got a new hero some months back. but it's not exactly a big deal anymore and i kind of expect the hots team to be disbanded soon.
