If one can be true so can the other. So if as you say the majority that enjoy the game aren’t here then the same majority of people that don’t enjoy the game aren’t here as well.
See the above, cognitive bias cuts both ways.

Highly doubt it. She has a history of keeping true to her words.
The amount of gold buying/gold selling, GDKP, and gold farmers was already so bad in Vanilla Classic. I can only imagine how much worse it is in WOTLK. Maybe that’s why they put in the token because they realized they just couldn’t stop it.
At this point, I’m less surprised by anything Blizzard does as a company and more surprised at how the developers seem to lack the capability of learning from their predecessors and previous iterations of the same game. This whole “We’re going back to our roots” makes gamers excited, but really just translates to “We think we can make a better version”. It’s getting old, and fast.
Well they probably can’t stop botting but they could have aggressively banned the gold buyers. I don’t believe Blizzard has no way to track the gold seller accounts or thousands of gold being traded from those accounts to real players.
They do moderate the forums they allow spirited debate both positively and negatively the way a person running a private business should in a free speech society. What they don’t allow is written in the forum COC.
The only people I see advocating for forum purges, more moderation, are those that are on the “game is great” side of the aisle, I always wonder why its always that group that advocate the silencing of descent.
I personally come to the forums less now due to the absolute nonsense complaints. Constructive criticism is great, but people literally slobbering on themselves in fantasy land made up nonsense getting mad gets old. IE OP and this post is an example of idiotic toxicity.

People have been falsely flagging all kinds of posts on either side. Posts just expressing something positive about the game like someone literally saying they just wish they had more time to play it got flagged and filled with hateful comments accusing OP of trolling.

I wish they would moderate false flags something they talked about when they got rid of the dislike and replaced it with the heart system. Everyone warned them people would use the reporting tool to replace the dislike function. The algorithm is the same in WOW you can mass flag a post and the algorithm will automatically give you a 24 hour ban and send a notice to the CM for manual review which will automatically go to the 86 bin with a \shrug from the CM.

Took my son for an walk and did a few things around the house, came back to see people have engaged more with this thread then the game itself this morning.
Thats an problem, the fact that we are all ALL this tired of logging in is an serious issue, let me ask you an honest question.
How many times have you logged in, opened the map, saw literally nothing happening and just didnt feel like running another pointless NMD for no drops and half an paragon point and logged back out?
That should never happen to an video game of this scale one month in, let alone in the second week of a bran new season.
Aside form the spectacular failure of the game as an whole this season mechanic shouldnt even be allowed to be legally described as such. The so called seasonal mechanic gave gamers about 1 to 2 hours of content, it was an absolute joke.
Now for perspective im an older gamer, 43, dad, work part time in the evenings, can put in 4 hours or so a day usually. Have played mmorpgs and arpgs for 20+ years, not easily triggered and not an fan of doom posting, however at the same time ive played through the active collapse of multiple titles including wildstar, maplestory 2, new world, lost ark etc.
While its true nothing goods come from just trolling and shi* posting you also cannot simply sit idely by while an money hungry publisher just gouges you and tells you to sit there and be grateful for it.
Its 2023, we have choices, and again, this is an ARPG, not some fnacy delicate mmorpg with an intricate community woven into every fabric of the game.
It doesnt matter if lil Timmy actually finds some amazing drops in his dungeons, its not going to “break the game”, nor will players actually having fun clearing content in good time without 5,647 random on ground death effects.
Your entire way of thinking is destroying this game, hamstringing players and making things shi**ier is not the same as adding content.
Im sorry you couldnt come up with meaningful endgame content over the last 6 years of cashing Activision’s checks but that doesnt mean you can just keep openly nerfing everything to slow players down to buy you time, enoughs enough.
Players should be given the option to recieve an refund and have their blizzard accounts disabled, you flat out lied to your players and continue to do so once an week on the campfire scams.

The game is great, but I have also given feedback on how it could be better.
OP says his post isnt a rant and has his opinions about issues with the game and the forum dying.
Here comes the white knight troll that everyone knows, trolling him by saying:
This added nothing to the conversation other than his horrible opinion that every post is negative. Hence I laughed cause he is always trolling everywhere he goes.
Like here is one above my post he thinks the game is great.
If you review his post history you will see how much of a troll he is. Furthermore he just uses 2 accounts (possibly more well find out very soon™) to try and push his agenda on the forums.
Who cares? Trolling only works, when you give it attention. Which you are providing. You are actually the issue here. The forum isn’t a war. You can’t win.
I’m cool because I spend most of my time logging on to forums of a game I do not play and do not like. Me and the other cool kids get together to talk trash about the game, and feel better about our own failings.
I am so angry all the time, becaues other people are enjoying a game I am not, I can not live with myself and just have to make sure nobody else enjoys the game as well.
So every day, instead of moving on with my life, like any adult would do, I decide to open my browser, login to the forums and start a new post, because that’s how sad my life is.
I try to hide it by pretending I am doing it for gaming, but I am doing it for myself, it makes me feel important and like I matter.
I personally don’t want people here if they aren’t having fun on the game. I wouldn’t wish such misery on anyone.
The reward for completing the Season Journey is so pathetically small, I’m sure there’s been more than a few players who got to one of the really grindy parts of the process and asked themselves, why even bother?
Nobody is giving him attention if you notice my posts are never “replys” to him because well I don’t feed the trolls. It seems you have a personal vestment of people calling someone out for being a troll. I’m sorry daddy I didn’t know I needed your permission to do so.
Anyways come at me again with how I am not allowed to call someone out for being a troll. Ill wait

I’m cool because I spend most of my time logging onto the forums of a game I like to play rather than actually playing the game. Me and the other cool kids get together to talk trash about anyone that criticizes our game.
I am so angry that others don’t enjoy the game, that it ruins my enjoyment of the game. I can not live with myself knowing that others are posting complaints about a game I like so much.
Rather than ignore the posts and continue to play the game I enjoy, I stick around to defend the forums from the whiners and complainers who don’t think D4 is the greatest game ever made.

There’s a reason I put that guy on ignore. You can’t reason with him.
GET EM BOY!
Love reply’s like this Enough is Enough! Cant sit here and tell me they cant fix the game in a timely manor or add things that should been there from the start. When they showed us ALL they can nerf a character into the ground within 2 days after the release by disabling aspects, stopping items from even dropping and force 1000s of people to redo their character 2 days into the release of the game.
Yet we have to wait 2-3 more months for 1 stash tab. 6 months for a gem tab or them to be moved to the materials section. QoL features that should have been there at the release of the game. Endgame that is meaningful and worth our time. Endless bugs they refuse to fix people going lvl 1-100 in 3 hours, exploiting all over the game but we got time to warn about 3rd party overlay Turbohud4 because we are to lazy to add the QoL it adds.
Aspect names over the top of the aspect so I don’t have to go 1 by one to find the one I want for my build. Missed item counter you know so you don’t leave legendries on the ground when you are speed running NMD’s. NPC icons over top of the NPCs in town so you know what they actually are without having to use trash map. Map reveal on dungeons so you don’t have to run down dead ends constantly. List goes on.
