Gaaaaah, I finally found this thread. I had to work with the PC version on phone and fine-tooth the search results. Kind of wanted to really vent about the whole WoW expansion reveal thing.

IDK. I felt a visceral anger watching it. I'm still in several circles actively centered around WoW topics because I like the people I meet sometimes. It's somewhat grating to see people cry and cry about the game, and yet get so immensely defensive about it that it becomes unbearable to converse with them. Perhaps the FFXIV fandom is like this. Perhaps all games are like this. But the people in the WoW community... such a major portion of them are self-admitted adults. People with families and work. To see them swoon and fight over a game as if they are still in their late teens is a bit... second-hand embarrassment-inducing.

Plus, to have seen first-hand the entire débàcle that occurred around Blizzard, the absolute unforgivable things they did... and for customers to indeed, move on like nothing happened... Extremely saddening. No one cares anymore. Everyone wants to tune out stuff and consume without remorse.
