World of Warcraft: Current Year

Remember when some asshole on this forum started bringing stuff from the internet into someone's real life, and causing problems for them at their job? And how the entire forum unanimously thought that person was a piece of shit? This is not different from that.

No no, some piece of shit getting fired because of some dumbass tweets he posted years ago is wrong, but stalking your coworkers past online presence and sexually harrassing them for it is perfectly normal and "their fault".

Shower Thoughts Conspiracy Theory time:

Maybe that has been the plan all along? Activision pissed off everyone in a leadership position so much, that they specifically hired those keyboard warriors, harassed them a bit, got out in time themselves, and now watch as the current generation of low performers tear down the games from the inside, piss off the fans in the process, and then proceed to burn the whole company to the ground. "This whole company must be purged!"

After everything's done Activision will regret ever buying Blizzard. I bet they already do.

I thought about it too - the goal was maybe to remove the "artists" who thought they were irreplaceable, that without them wow would be trash. Or they want to bring the price of the IP down so some company belonging to the circle jerks of activision can buy it cheap and create a WoW 2 (outside of CA, heck maybe in Japan / china)

Not to feed the conspiracy theory here, but it is amusing that right on the heels of Activision-Blizzard's reaction of mostly "It's all fake and distorted information, we didn't do it", the previous leaders whom a lot of people feel didn't leave on the best of terms came to shit on that with their own statements of mostly "It's all true and we are sorry we couldn't stop it"... You'd think the founders of Blizzard would want to keep their legacy a little cleaner, but they're doing their best to damage the brand right now. Maybe Moirhaine hopes people will flock to Dreamhaven.

She only has an associates degree. And looks like she started a dog walking business that shut down and now she just lives with her husband doing nothing and trying to cuck him on dating apps



It does look like the hired girls for eye candy and its biting them in the ass now.

My point is that any pro-tips from people who post on this forum about what not to do online is someone who is really throwing stones in glass houses.

Good point, the irony is pretty spot on here. Some people on this forum are

"Haha stupid girl, she shouldn't have posted nudes online because she might get consequences"

are also

"Guys, we should hide the politics forum from prying eyes because us being racist and insurrectionist might result in consequences!"

Those aren't mutually exclusive, what about our racists who post nudes!

Did SL really have that much less content at launch? I didn’t think BFA really had that much less content. I think it just sucked and reeked of player metrics.

Click to expand...

Yes.

Legion had 5 full zones at launch, 1 extra zone competed early and 1 more patched in at the end.

BFA had 6 full zones at launch but half per faction, so you really needed an alt to see everything. 2 zones patched in mid way through.

Shadowlands had 4 full zones but you could only see the full story of one of them, meaning 3 alts to see everything or swapping covenants. So far they completed 1 extra zone.

I actually think that Shadowlands would have been praised for it's questing endgame if you could play all four covenants stories at once and get all their transmogs but only select the powers of one.

Mist said:

Not sure how you can say that the Maw wasn't a full zone. It has quests, achievements, secrets, etc. So that makes 5.

While you're technically correct, I've seen many people utterly dismiss the Maw as a playable zone, mostly because it's like you took the map of Dread Wastes and threw caltrops, pitfalls and diarrhea all over it.

At least in 9.1 it's barely tolerable now that you can ride freely through it and they added some more content to it (beside Korthia) but still, a lot of the Shadowlands zones feel really much emptier and less lived-in (no pun intended) than the last few expansions.

And yeah, splitting the playerbase into four covenants was a terrible idea. It drives collectors to play alts alts and more alts in a very alt-unfriendly system to collect everything, it creates a lot of toxic behaviors in groups or dungeons unless you're the right flavor of the month covenant/conduit/whatever, and it only lets the average player see 25% of the story and as such most people have no fucking idea what's going on.

It's like Ion is really working for Squeenix sometimes.

I have no doubt some of this is true. But i also can guess quite a bit of it is straight lies or revenge. Also 100% sure flirting, grab assing, rubbing against each other, long hugs etc were done by both sexes the entire time, especially if it was low on totem pole girl > supervisor male. More so all the vultures coming out of the woodwork to say "oh this happened to me too" now is most likely false.

I honestly thought people learned by now to treat people at work like they all have the plague. Never get too friendly. Never be alone if you are in any kind of supervisor position. And NEVER date at the workplace. Because all it takes is 1 bad break up/rejection and now the other party wants revenge and will just make up shit to ruin your life. And today's society only needs accusations to take action, never proof.

Also what kind of workplace of a huge ass corporation like this lets people get drunk at work or even a work event(like a convention you are working at)? Drunk people do very stupid things, news at 11. Why you would allow that at all is beyond me.
