You're a disengenuous little faggot ass nonce as per usual, but so is the OP, he made this exact thread on leddit and got his shit pushed in there too. Honestly surprised you havent died due to suffocation yet, what with your head being perpetually lodged up blizzards collective asses.
These ads are/were absolutely real. They're were pathetic, so they were fitting for blizzard. Petulant little snide passive agressive clips of "owning" people rightfully criticizing a shit expansion with no content or major features.

You really took telling people to think for themselves that personally eh?

look in the mirror

Hilariously bad take, considering how absolutely reviled the mohawk thing was at the time, and how it saw these exact same "game is dead, this is childish garbage" arguments.

Not happy with mohawk...?
Here are other gigachad ones:



Now please link these comments... as these ads were released around WotLK when the game had most subs ever, LOL.

We came from this:


To this cringe tiktok thing above.

These ads exactly shows how their final target audience has changed fast few years.

I dunno there were people calling these adds cringe back in the day, 'Blizzard desperate', 'blizzard selling out', 'blizzard using celebes lol' are just some I remember.

Blizzard just using whatever is hot at the time, I mean using youtube by itself in 2006 was a trend move :P

Also Blizzard being tongue in cheek and taking shot at people dissing their game, thats old school Blizz I can appreciate the balls of them to do it. I used to love when Blizzard used to have balls to take shot at people shitting on them. (and this come from someone who shares a lot of the sentiments from the comments in that video)

You made a new account just for this post?

Ads are basically ads, almost all of them are groan-worthy and cringe-inducing, only rarely producing art as cast off and happenstance. Advertisements go through weird memetic fads as well - and these seem like the same kind of deal, an attempt to advertise using the TikTok method, which a lot of companies are dipping their toes into. Kind of like brands on Twitter attempting to be relatable and just one of the kids, like a deranged 50-something uncle trying to fit in with the high school crowd.

Pretty cringe ngl

[Scream And Fly]

Those ads look like they're promoting a mobile game.

[Khaza-R]

Okay, where then?

Don't ask others to find the supporting evidence for you. I mean, WoW's posts usually dominate my facebook feed and I've never seen a single one of these personally, they look iffy overall (Weird spacing for example on some of the time stamps of posts), and on top of that, the youtube channel is from the OP themselves?

Weirdly enough, googling the term "WoW Deleted Dragonflight ads" only yields this thread. The major result is about GW2 making ads indirectly mocking Dragonflight.

Looking into it even more, there's a reddit thread on some general MMO subreddit that has links that have urls that don't even mention where they came from. And there's a grand total of like, one article covering it.

You're free to be as skeptical as you like. I was responding to someone who said they were fake.

I don't know why you're looking for a discussions around social media ads. How many thousands of those do you think Blizzard has pumped out over the years and how many do you think ever get mentioned? Which I would argue makes it even less likely these are fake because honestly, who would waste the time making something so minutely controversial in the first place?

[SinR]

they're OK. Not great, but not bleh either.

People need to keep in mind this is a dragon's POV of those "Tweets". Of course they're going to come off as arrogant.

I miss the old ads. "I Never fake an Orc Chasm"

[Zendhal The Black]

This is some Rings of Power shit right there...

Blaming the playerbase because of their failure

This is Blizzard we're talking about. Any misstep that people take as an offense blows the hell up. Don't you remember how much drama there was over something as stupid as the fruit bowl pictures?

[Relapses]

You won't sell boxes telling prospective buyers they are stupid. Enough said.

Hey, maybe Blizzard finally picked up on how many people rage-purchase their expansions and finally decided to capitalize on that untapped market. Phenomenally stupid marketing scheme but anybody who's spent more than 5 minutes in the WoW discussion sphere understands how many of WoW's most critical customers are also their most profitable.

[AlexTinny]

What's the problem with those ads, why were they deleted

[Kiraser]

Oh, hey, one ad is actually still up for some reason! I guess, the question is more of: why the rest are gone? Maybe they simply decided to clean up the feed. This one also got nicer comments than some of the other ones. But I'll try to not overthink this.

No wonder the world is going to shit.... The amount of people in here that think these are actually real.....

Heh.

[Jester Joe]

Heh.

I don't know what you're trying to be smug about, you gave no proof of them existing until 58 posts in. That's beyond strange since it's a failing on your part in the first place.

Maybe start with a link to prove it instead of trying to push your own YouTube channel next time and you'll find less skepticism?

[Auburst]

Blizzard thought it's a good idea to defend beta boy Dwagthyr by showing their creepy visage and famelic form.

Heh.



Heh.

I can admit I was wrong. why not provide this in the OP?

[Hotmail]

So they're trying to sell the game by provoking customers? Weird. Desperate, even.

[Rexosaurus]

Yeah those are stupid, but I'm definitely in the "all WoW ads/promos have been cringey" camp.

My face still hasn't recovered from the biblical-level cringe of the American Choppers fiasco.
