New shaming tactic, kinda like the boost symbol?

:joy: i found it hilarious ā€œthese disgusting poor peopleā€. It feels really like that we got buffs that buff whole team and opponents and they got debuffs with warning mark :warning:. What if activision wanted to do the same with HotS but since Blizz has also voice they said: you can do that but whole team must get buff and even opponents! have more faith in Blizz!

I remember in old Diablo 2 Bnet chat donā€™t having expansion was considered even more prestigious, near your character were displayed titles:

basic game for softcore:
Sir, Dame,
Lord, Lady,
Baron, Baroness.

basic game for hardcore:
Count, Countess,
Duke, Duchess,
King, Queen.

expansion owners softcore:
Slayer
Champion
Patriarch, Matriarch

expansion owners hardcore:
Destroyer
Conqueror
Guardian

You could be freaking King if you donā€™t owned D2 expansion! it was pure class in itself.

If itā€™s meant to shame it doesnā€™t seem to be working, itā€™s rare to see that many people with it active. Yes they have made the boost symbol shamelessly visible in almost every part of the UI. But as it only gives people XP for loot and doesnā€™t grant in game advantage with items, I donā€™t think itā€™s an effective persuasion.

The only shame should be on Blizzards end for having a sale on the 365 day boost and then announcing after the sale had ended they were putting this game on life support. As for the Season Pass, does anyone really care enough to feel shame about it?
