Sounds like real life to me.
And these fated mechanics grant pretty big damage and stat boosts.
Management only said to clean the breakroom once. Who said everyday?
I think this was all you needed.
It succinctly sums things up.
Idk when DF is gonna come out. I’m hoping mid november.
Don’t get me wrong. I think anyone who truly wants the mount will get it. But there are a lot of players who genuinely struggle with normal.
To me, it’s not that big of a deal. This is another mount that everyone will use for like a week and then never touch again.
Blizzard should be asking themselves why so many people don’t want to even bother with normal. What are the implications of that? Shoutout asmongold.

Your analogy doesn’t quite work. A job like that would be awful, but they’re not really allowed to withhold payment. We have entire labour contracts written up all legal like to protect both workers and employers from unlawful conduct. The slime cat debacle, however, was perfectly within Blizzard’s rights, and indeed you agreed to them being allowed to do this in order to play the game.
Does it suck? Sure. I will give you that. Blizz makes changes we all hate, and by all means fight them on it. They were within their right to do so though
Your example of the job was underhanded behaviour in which one would be used or tricked. The cat, while arguably still in bad faith since they did indeed know of the expectations of the playerbase, was well within their rights, and in the realm of changes you agreed to before playing.
Like I said though, by all means keep fighting it, just stop phrasing it as such that Blizz was outside of their rights to change the achievement, because they were not.

You’re free to your opinion and I encourage you to write up a nice thread with a better analogy.
It’s far easier to critique someone else’s original content than to generate your own.
I’m sorry. Did you think making that super tiny would stop me from seeing it?
I have no interest in making people understand anything. I do not need an analogy. I was just trying to point out that the situations were not the same. In one, you are being shafted illegally, in the other you agreed before using the product that Blizz could make changes to the game environment and content.
Like I said though. Go ahead and fight them on it. That’s absolutely within your right. I do the same when they make changes I hate, but in the end it’s still within their right to do so.
No, I knew you’d see it and I’m glad you took the extra step to see it.
Good job!
I got fired from a job when I was a teenager, because the manager changed the schedule on me the day before without telling me. I was scheduled a day off and he changed it at the last minute and blamed me for not coming in every day to check the schedule.
I have a feeling people that are happy for this change are the same types of people that get walked all over at jobs. “Here. Do the work of three people but get paid the same as one.” “I changed the schedule, because I’m such a bad manager, so you don’t get a day off this week.” “You’re scheduled 80 hours this week, because I (the manager) am going on vacation and I need someone to cover for me. You won’t get a raise from doing it, nor will you get paid more.” “I’m not hiring anymore people, even though we’re extremely short staffed, so you’ll have to do it.”
This is common in the service industry. Not the exception. Seems that way in corporate world, too, and customers seem to revel in it, to the point where they’re happy it happens to them in a video game.

Judging by the responses to my OP, I don’t think you’re far off the mark.
I know people who plan mogs around mounts; they rp, etc. At one time, they thought they could acquire this mount the easy way. Now they, find out, they have to run normal, but they aren’t raiders but they did all this planning. The fomo has sunk in and now they’ll most likely buy a token for their mount so all of their planning hasn’t gone to waste.
I am really not kidding. I know people who plan mogs and rp around mounts And vice versa.

This mount would be perfect for a Plague-spreading RP. Just imagine how it could be paired with the slime backpack mog.

You also didn’t say it was only once. Also, the assignment only said to “clean the break room” without any further direction. Not exactly “crystal clear”. It didn’t say to do a quick 5 minute job, and then change it to a deep clean months later. Again, this is a horrible analogy that doesn’t work. Besides, getting paid is different. This would be more like getting a sticker in a sticker book. The reward is a mount to go with your other 400 mounts you aren’t using.
I encourage you to write a better analogy.
I know you can!
Barring that, how would you improve my analogy? I’m always receptive to constructive criticism/feedback.
The burden isn’t on me to make a better analogy. I don’t have to know how to make a souffle` to knows that yours is flat, burned, and tasteless.
No one told you that you have to.
But I’m cheering for you!
How would you improve my analogy? I’m receptive to constructive criticism/feedback.
Let’s face it. The ‘just run normal’ people are mainly trolls or shills who just agree with everything Blizzard does no matter what.
