Because the modern wow team is shady, there are so many issues that Ion has outright lied about let alone the half truths and lawyerspeak to hide the true meaning of what is being said.
Sure does matter. Do i want to do business with the guy who lies and has to be caught lying or do I want to do business with an etical truth teller?
We as a playerbase are making a preemptive strike because issues like scaling in legion where openly admitted to that they used deceit by not telling the playerbase whats up.
This time we have our eyes open and there will be no prepurchase records set next xpac. Very few will prepurchase after how hard we have been taken advantage of since wod.
If your strategy is to try and make money on a crap product by hiding what it really is , good luck in your long term success.
