Players who spend extra money on the game most be shielded from negativity at all cost.
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?
Is this fake?! I can still spit on others. Just tried on some store mount owners, works fine.
Today, it's /spit, tomorrow it's /fart. This is too far!!!!
Something something libruls taking away our freedom of spit!
Ill be damned (>_<) Asmongold started this. This is too funny.
FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..
I think, in this case, Asmon recommended players spit on people on boost-mounts. It was a funny way to make a point at the time, but even he has had to tell his audience to stop doing that once or twice while streaming. Players took it a little seriously.
If Blizz really is removing /spit over this, I think they're missing the point and they're certainly not fixing anything.
As long as they don't remove /flop, I'm happy.
what the fuck blizzard
Not wrong. Just some overzealous mods who infract a little more harshly depending on certain views they have. They use "trolling" as the excuse because its vague enough that they don't have to explain themselves. I was once in a thread talking about ppl from different continents playing in dif regions on wow with 500ms+ ping. Mentioned i dont want non natives in my group for the obvious ping issue and got a nice little ban for it lol. Was told nothing I said was wrong, but it could be interpreted wrong
Good. It's only ever been used to insult other players. Just about the most low class way of doing it, too.
It's a rather bad mentality to have to address an issue, assuming it's about the whole microtransactions debacle. The correct answer is to deal with said issues on a case-by-case basis to determine if some ToS violations have been made. The lazy and bad precedent is to remove 'problematic language'. I think the better solution in between would be allowing players to suppress emotes from players when they have them on ignore, allowing individuals to take matters into their own hands if necessary. Heck, this would be useful in retail WoW, as the general follow-up harassment of players on ignore is to spam-emote people.
Blizz hasn't been making the most level-headed decisions as of late, this is just another bad decision in a long line of bad decisions.
“Society is endangered not by the great profligacy of a few, but by the laxity of morals amongst all.”
“It's not an endlessly expanding list of rights — the 'right' to education, the 'right' to health care, the 'right' to food and housing. That's not freedom, that's dependency. Those aren't rights, those are the rations of slavery — hay and a barn for human cattle.”
― Alexis de Tocqueville
It never should have existed in the first place, but as reaction to their current shitshow, removing it is irrelevant.
