First and foremost I’ve been a fan since 1997. I was one of those guys that spent over 20 years of my life also grinding D2. However as of late it is clear that Blizzard as a company is too busy chasing the almighty dollar to give a darn about the community or playerbase of its game.
I stopped playing Blizzard games about 8 months ago to give me some time to reflect and returned 2 days ago to find the exact same issues I found offensive before are still issues today.
-
Balancing. Whether it’s Hearthstone or Diablo Blizzard can’t balance a game to save their lives.
-
(Hearthstone specific) Twinks. This is why you have to use built in bots in your game because twinks are scaring away ALL of your potential new players early on in ranked.
-
Pricing. This doesn’t even need explanation. The pricing for digital stuff on a game as old as Hearthstone is absurd. Also the new D4 expansion price is absurd as well especially if you want the max edition.
-
Lack of care for your playerbase. This really doesn’t need explanation. Blizzard has one of the worst customer service departments in the entire gaming industry.
I was very close to buying the season pass again cause I’m such an impulse buyer but I immediately after returning wasn’t having fun so luckily I dodged that bullet. I truly hope Microsoft clears house completely and makes Blizzard a better company than it currently is.
