    Blizzard is so lazy and disappointing.

    YoshiP sat there for 2 days straight doing like 30 interviews answering the same questions and giving detailed thoughtful answers for all of them during their media tour.

    Ion should be giving interviews to
    1 mainstream influencer like asmongold
    1 person from the endgame raiding scene which should be the raidleader of the guild who got world first on the previous tier
    1 person from the top arena team
    1 person from the top MDI team
    1 person from the lore side of things like nobbel
    1 person from the casual side of the community, this person could be a public poll vote and give a chance for a smaller streamer to get in.

    AT THE MINIMUM, he's the game director and should be capable of answering questions from all categories like yoship does.

    This is the best post ever. It is soaked in so much irony but yet you are still blinded to it.

    I'm kind of tired of this. First, we lose totems and auras, then we got them back etc. I can go on forever. Same for dmg and levels. I was lvl 60 like 10 years ago, now I'm level 60 again. Dps is slowly going back to what it was a few expansions ago..

    Oh wait, I said I won't go into detail, OPSIE. I better stop before this ends up being a wall of text. Trust me, I got that much to complain about. Valid complains too, for the most part.
    We have reached a point where innovating means bringing back features they removed a few years prior. Sad state of affairs.
    The absolute state of Warcraft lore in 2021:
    Kyrians: We need to keep chucking people into the Maw because it's our job.
    Also Kyrians: Why is the Maw growing stronger despite all our efforts?

    I like how some posters completely lie just to push their own narrative. The ego and narcissim of them knows no bounds. Heaven forbid they actually make a properly constructed argument without resorting to making false claims.



    I don't expect a response, and I especially don't expect you to own up to your mistake. However this is a problem that is not simply limited to mmo champion. People pushing their own narrative even if it means lying.

    The interview itself went very well, it answered some key questions that people had. Furthermore it was a brilliant move by Ion and the team because regardless of your personal stance on Asmongold, the fact is that he is one of, if not the largest, WoW streamer. The only time he is getting beaten by views is during the World First race. Afterwards? The guild leaders of those world first guilds average between 1k to 5k viewers while Asmon is consistently 25k or more. Even his second channel where he drops the Asmongold character is sitting around 10k viewers.

    I use to absolutely hate him, but I gave him a chance and surprisingly when you ignore the idiotic moments he has while playing the Asmongold character, he can be very reasonable and makes good discussions. For example his stance on the new WoW social contract is something I completely agree on and he defended why the social contract is a good idea. No one wants to play a video game to be harassed. If you want to do that find another game, or try your luck in the real world. I also enjoyed watching people get banned for their comments towards the one person during the Dragonflight reveal.

    He got too big to be ignored. He got to a 400k viewers peak during Lost Ark release.

    Funny how most comments are about Asmongold and not the actual interview. Fun to see the RGB - shelves full of toys adult-children malding

    Indeed, I was being ironical when I called people here "gentlemen", you are very perceptive and you show critical reading skills that, frankly, are above the average here.

    People expecting that don't know anything about Asmongold. He behaves professionally in interviews and he regularity gets top people on from other mmo projects.
    Also the idea that all he does is a dogshit ass game tirades about wow all the time is false. He always has a ton of good will for wow but the shilloids like to stick to the 2 clips they saw about him.

    I think this statement, about Ion, sums it about right.

    Well Asmongold isn't doing his job. Cause the game has been in the shitter for years now. 2 failed expansions back to back, and now sexual allegations along with breast milk stealing has not made the company look good. And now after so many players have left the game, and the sexual crap, they choose to want to listen to the player base, I guess we will all see if it is true when the new expansion releases and about 3 or 4 months after if any of it is true and that they are listening to us players.
    Be careful who you chat it up with here on these forums. If you are NOT for WoW and about WoW, people will report whatever you say and get you banned

    I think in such a family, you are "one of those family members".

    Imagine being so jealous of someone's success that you keep trolling a thread which isn't about Asmongold himself at all.

    90% of such comments are also done by the same 3 people, it's clear they're just super jealous for whatever reason.

    Because you hate something it’s jealously? Damn, I must be jealous of that homeless man that pulled a knife on me.

    Yeah dude, let's compare a criminal who tried to kill you to a nerd streaming WoW, that's a good equivalency.

    Can someone explain the ‘what sword?’ reference? Chat went bonkers over it but I have no idea why..

    if you watch something you don't want polluting your feed go into your history and remove the video's in question.
    It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

    Both are equally unimportant to me. So yes, it is. Better comparison than just saying “anyone that hates this person is just jealous” to dismiss their opinion.

    On the subject of the thread, brilliant interview. It's very clear the WoW team are prepared to listen and change based on our feedback. That comes with risks of course but it's welcome to hear how willing they are to receive and act upon feedback.

    Don't be so naive. Blizzard has spit this statement before and then turned around and did the complete opposite. About 4 or 5 months after Dragonflight, maybe longer, will I then be convinced that Blizzard is LISTENING to feedback.

    This forum is the definition of cringe. "Waaaahhhh he trash talked the game why is Ion talking to him???". Do you realize how pathetic you sound if you write stuff like this?

    I'd be interested in Classic Cata to see how the modern Classic audience feels about it. A lot of the criticisms at the time won't apply because of how much sweatier people play Classic. It would be interesting imo to see what an expansion with actual challenging raids would be like.

    Dismissing criticism of an influencer or a famous person or whatever as "Must be jealousy" says a lot more about how you view that person than the person criticizing them.

    People like them generally lack any self awareness.
