WoW wasn't struggling before it either. It isn't the 10 Million active players it was in 2008, 13 years ago, backed by the Warcraft franchise storyline and Arthas, but it wasn't a financially dead game it was very,very successful. Even BFA was a very, very successful expansion for Activision-Blizzard. Nor was it a socially dead game given the esports growth that occured with the MDI, or with the World First Race.Quote:

06-02-2022, 11:42 AMVelKallor.....did we play the same expansion? The one that gave us warfronts? The lame and interminable war campaign? Mission tables? A return to the idiotic and threadbare 'Me orc me no like human orc smash" garbage? A lame, tacky, pathetic ending ripped off from Lord of the Rings?Quote:

That it was a game play disaster didn't matter. Activision Blizzard had already made their profits. -

There's not an issue with players coming to the forums to raise issues so much as the way they do it. They make a thread with their grievances. They may or may not insult the devs in it. Someone has a different opinion. Sometimes it's rude but sometimes it's perfectly polite. The person criticizing turns their vitriol on that person just because they don't agree. If the other person says they aren't bothered by X issue, then the person criticizing insults and degrades them for not seeing what they see. If the person is Hydaelyn forbid happy with a change, well here comes the dissertation on why they're wrong and should feel horrible about themselves.
You're even doing it in the OP.
"I'm happy so I don't care" is a perfectly valid response for someone to have. They don't see the things that you do as an issue so they're just giving their opinion as you are. All you have to do to have successful interactions is just understand that others may have differing opinions and so long as everyone respects that then points can be debated civilly. -
