Really? Acting like this statement killed the 1.5 AV argument?..
If you think this is the kill blow to 1.5 AV then you are only thinking with a biased mindset. Like. . . seriously?
Don’t get me wrong, I get it, it obviously goes against the 1.5 AV argument, that’s for sure, but Blizzard restating basics to try and steer the conversation is only a reaffirmation that they want to avoid doing 1.5 AV.
In fact by not addressing the supposed issue of lost data and instead focusing on “take the pressure off players to be constantly figuring out what we might do next” that could actually help increase the assumption that the data was not lost.
The statement comes off as “Hey lets not talk about this because we want to do it the other way”. That makes me feel like the stated post for 1.12 AV here is their strongest argument and that they just don’t want to go through the work of 1.5 AV.
To be frank, if anything this statement has empowered my PoV in arguing FOR 1.5 AV.
Edit: INB4 “That was a “putting it to rest” statement”.
Yeah they tried that with WoD having no flying.
