So the Millions of People that have left since the game went to shit over the last few expansions were just Bigots? Do you People even think before you speak?

The point being it isn't "diversity" that gave them a huge Audience years ago. It was simply making a good game. Good games don't require a separation of diversity and niche. It's just more buzzword bullshit.
Might as well give players free race/class combinations now, if they really wanna get in touch with "Diversity makes a better game."
I love how he dumps on WoWhead multiple times, lmao. But yeah. He might as well be talking about his next album dropping for all I care. We've heard this all before so I'm not taking anything here at face value.
stopped reading after the first point.
if someones offended, because something aged "poorly" they deserve mental hospital.
No wonder this game is shit, half their team are blue haired garbage humans with "zim/zem" in their twitter bio.
Would be interesting if someone did research about twitter/social media/internet outrage compared up to society overall. There tends to be a bit of a echchamber on the internet, especially when most people mostly like to interact with somewhat likeminded people.
These days the loudest screams/complaints probably comes from the internet and its various platforms. Over a long enough time with these outrages I bet alot of people think "this is what most people think" or "this is how most people are".
So when you glare at it, it can look like a HUGE outrage, when in reality its just a small % angry people on a social media platform and not the general publics opinion.
We see this all the time in sports. Active social media people go mental about many things, when in reality, fans have a more calm & reflective attitude towards an issue.
The game would have a much brighter future without Ion and the rest of the senior developers in it.
If you always do what you've always done, then you'll always get what you've always got.
I would like some clarification from the mod, that deleted my post in this thread
To be honest, the game itself has no apparent issues even though Blizzard believes so by removing so much stuff(Like joke/flirt etc). I think a bigger issue that they should try to solve is how players engange with eachother ingame - why they do it, how they do it and in general make the game more welcoming and open for group/player interaction.
If we are completly honest with ourself, the wow community overall is probably alot more toxic than any NPC name, joke, flirt or painting ever has been in the game.
These thing was never the issue. How the game is managed at endgame is a major issue.
fixed a 12 year old 'your mother' joke, but still go commit genocide on these ogres ayylmaoIn the end, the team wants WoW to be a positive place to escape the trials and tribulations of the world.
Im just saying everyone(Blizzard and us) should probably take a step back and realise most people dont give two flying fucks about talking about the game on twitter or any other site on the internet. Most people play the game if they enjoy it and move on, playing it or not.
next - most people dont go on angry rants or engage in twitter interaction with Blizzard employees or try to push whatever agenda they have. I can understand Blizzard panics and do whatever they can to do "damage control" by changing alot of things ingame, but I bet ALOT of wow players have no idea WTF is going on or why.
"ppl still unhappy, so we're going to turn up the *pretend we care* meter" damage is done, let wow burn to the ground
cough cough bullshit cough cough.these changes did not take away from development time and would likely have gone unnoticed if they weren't spotlighted from datamining.
