I would avoid talking about the WoW developers given how out of touch they have become for the longest time. Whereas the current situation kind of shows a similar trend with how little foresight these implementations had behind them.It's good to remember to show some appreciated to be fair. The constant abuse is probably part of why so many WoW devs stopped giving a crap about player feedback and stopped interacting with the playerbase. even going so far as to hurl insults. Criticism for these failures is justified but some of the rage is just ridiculous. If I failed to get my FC house I would be pretty gutted but still have more hope with lotto in future than placard clicking against bots.
I do think it's a bit silly to make a post like this when people are this upset about something. They had a job and they messed up. This is the reaction you get and for a programming error like this to not be caught in QA. This whole situation is pretty scuffed.
Also Jelly bean hair :-\
So you posted an extremely hot take in the middle of a community wide firestorm...and you received back lash in return. It shouldn't have been unexpected.
the devs might be over stressed and true bugs happens,
but not those kind of simple bugs where Q&A would simply find them, for a system developed by a huge company that supposedly have many devs over a few months such a simple bug should not have been passed to a patch. simple.
I would be a lot more sympathetic to the devs assuming they can show signs of competency. To the layman, it looks like they can't even design a working random number generator. That's just embarrassing no matter how people try to spin it. Now people might have gotten houses not because they won fairly, but due to bias in the broken system. So they either rollback, fucking over people who won the house, or don't roll back, fucking over people who didn't win the house. They might even have to rerun the lottery again, wasting people's time. Either way, someone is getting screwed over. Square messed up big time, no empty platitudes are gonna hide that. If i messed up that much in my job, heads will roll.
At the rate this patch is going, with the bard glitch and the housing glitch, the hilidibrand quests are gonna be an unplayable mess. I personally am nostalgic for the days of 6.08. Less content, sure, but at least it worked. There is a time and place for dev appreciation, and I can tell you everyone into housing aren't feeling appreciative at all.
OP I have to say the issue here really is the time of you putting this out. You're seeing the situation that is unfolding and people are justifiably upset. Now is not the time to be like "oh hey but this was good! I can see the effort you put out." And someone said, in a fashion, that it kind of isn't the time to be putting out positivity and you responded with hostility.
