as I said a few minutes ago, Groups A and B have been well detailed in this and other Pink Mercy threads. An appeal to “just donate” is mis-targeted on Group B, which is what Pink Mercy is intended for
I find it odd that the BCRF itself willingly and eagerly works with group B, yet forum members here seem to prefer to attack members of group B instead.
Group A needs to go buy a Pink Mercy account because after literally years it’s evident the skin ain’t coming back, and that if it is, Blizzard will tell us.
Whining here is annoying and has never done and will never do anything productive. Email or call Blizzard, or be quiet.
/thread
Several problems with the above
First, theres been nothing in this or any other Pink Mercy thread that can reasonably be described as “whining”
Second, the use of the term “whining” is clearly an attack on other forum members. This is against both the spirit and intent of this forum, and I ask that this cease
Third, no one can legitimately claim that the skin will never return, as no one has the ability to see the future with certainty. as such, statements of this kind tend to rob the individual makign them of credibility
Fourth, the skin will return when and if Blizzard decides i will return, regardless of how many forum members declare it can never happen
Fifth, using a purchased a Pink Mercy account is illegal, and I strongly recommend that no further recommendations to perform illegal acts be made
Finally, telling a fellow forum member to “be quiet” is inappropriate given that this website is set up explicitly for open discussion of legitimate OW-related topics like this one
not at all
Illegal HAHAHAHAHA
It’s not illegal lmao, Blizzard just doesn’t like it.
Keep yelling hot air, nothing’s gonna happen.
Illegal in the sense that its against the rules of the game
Blizzard will ban the player the moment they determine it is a purchased account.
Player loses the ability to play the game and however much they spent to buy the account
Its not something any forum member should be recommending other forum members do
aside: as I said, the thread continues
Oh really. Right.
All the streamers producing bronze to GM content, you think they went out and played abysmally for 25 quick play levels plus placements to get that account? Of course not.
I don’t care bub.
Huh… this discussion is still going?
Has anyone bothered to reach out to BCRF on the possibility of a future collaboration again? Doubt anyone would find much of a response though. Without BCRF, then there won’t be another time to get pink mercy. They raised a ton of money when it was released so for them to not approach blizz again means they probably aren’t interested.
I’m honestly all for it and I hope they charge you $120.00. Raise money and make you dish out a huge chunk of change for being insufferably annoying.
yes
CB (the op) has reached out…
…and he received a response indicating that they’d love to do it again
Many people have stated this as fact, but no one has ever presented proof that BCRF has any control over whether the skin is re-released or not
as such, it is just a guess, not a fact
except…they have indicated they are interested
in writing
I think 30-50 dollars would be abut right, personally
I dont know of any aspect of this request that can reasonably be considered to be “insufferably annoying”
Please be aware that one can simply choose to avoid a thread they find annoying, rather than participate in it
OP did and got an pretty much got a standard “fill in the blank” reply.
Which honestly seems skeevy since, you’re bothering a nonprofit for a collaboration that’s almost 6 years old now.
Yet here we are. Blizz could use a win and we know they’re not going to get it from releasing a good patch (they have to make one first). So what is stopping them?
There is more to it than BCRF saying they’re interested, because it takes two parties and BCRF isn’t obligated to mention if there is a “but” after the “we’re interested”, and since Blizz is silent as usual, then doesn’t look like we’re going to see anything.
This is all so stunning to me… its not that great of a skin. Just donate money and put it on your 1040.
The things people fight for eh?
I know of no good reason to not re-release the skin, but clearly, there is something in play that is preventing it
many guesses have been made as to why, but they all remain guesses
Here again it is stated that it takes both parties, but that isnt actually a known thing
It seems reasonable that BCRF might have a say, but no proof has been offered, ever, by anyone
This is an opinion stated as if it were fact, which it isnt
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
Many folks have declared that the Pink Mercy skin is their favorite skin of all skin in the game
Nearly 900 thousand of them were sold, so this seems to indicate plenty of folks found it be be a pretty great skin
the “just donate” appeal is mis-targeted on Group B, as stated several times today in this thread.
Pink Mercy is an appeal to Group B.
“Just donate” is an appeal to Group A
Maybe blizz doesn’t give af about group b? Maybe they don’t want to go through the effort of setting up a charity again?
I’m sorry, I don’t know what to tell you. Befriend bobby K?
all guesses
that said, one wonders why a forum member who has declared a group of other forum members to be “insufferably annoying” continues to discuss things with said group.
For me personally, because this topic keeps coming up for months? I know we can walk an chew gum at the same time but the game has a lot of pressing issues. A mercy skin isn’t very important to the other all health of the game.
Guys, I honestly think dodo wants someone to exchange witty cleaver conversations with. The topic doesn’t matter.
Have you ever been asked by anyone what the time was and you check with your own eyes and say “oh it’s 2:30” and dodo sees the same time anf goes “No it’s not! it’s 2:28!” and then you do that giant breathy sigh?
That’s what you’re getting yourself into lol
oddly enough, there are many repeated topics on this forum, with some repeated far more often than Pink Mercy.
There is no forum rule I know of that says that a topic must have a certain level of importance to be discussable
There is a rule that says topics need to be OW-related (tho yes, many non-OW topics do get discussed) but this topic is a legitimate ow-related topic through and through, so no problem there
That said, it is a subjective call to say that one topic is more important than another. For some folks, this topic is more important than some where you’d see it as the opposite
Importance aside, people discuss what they are interested in discussing, regardless of importance. I am interested in private profiles remaining a default setting, so I enter discussions where that is being questioned; and it never matters to me whether items that are alleged by others to be more important are being discussed without my presence there.
Bottom line is that as long as a topic is ow-related, its level of importance is really irrelevant as to whether it can be discussed here
What I want is to discuss the actual topic.
That said, I am not the topic in this thread
I ask that personal attacks cease
Why haven’t you DM me yet?
I have no need or desire to have a discussion with someone who has shown an interest in personal attacks
sad, because it started off pretty well - and I said as much
So that gonna be a no on the DMs?
