Instead of dying and leaving your skeleton for hours as a warning for others, they are changing it so when you die the second time, it disappears. Whatever happened to not making changes?

No. No, not really.

Devs are obviously playing rogues on a pvp server.

The reason given was a good one.
Do you want huge adverts for gold selling sites spelled out in corpses?

Itâs not a big deal to me. I saw a couple of skeletons in the stress test and it made me a little more cautious. It only takes one skeleton to do that.

One thing Blizzard is not interested in recreating from Vanilla are exploits.
Persistent skeletons led to exploits and harassment. Advertisers used them to create the names of gold selling websites, in the middle of town, etc.
Blizzard got rid of the persistent skeletons to eliminate these exploits.

How does this relate to corpses, i seen that happen, but never skeleton advertisements. It was always dead bodies that never released.

I would like to see them pile up like the old days but with people using them to spell bad words and market gold sellers etc⌠itâs a necessary evil, people will abuse any loophole they can find this was just one âcreative use of game mechanicsâ that caused real issues for some servers/players so Blizz took it away.
This is why we canât have nice things
Thatâs the reason that they gave in the AMA for making the change. I donât really remember skeleton adverts either, just corpses like you pointed out.

Well it obviously isnt fixing that problem, now is it?
Wow, thatâs disappointing. I really liked the skeletons after a huge battle.

Right and so the reason I donât really care that theyâre gone.

Probably saves GMs a lot of time/effort so they donât need to track down all the accounts being used to create adverts for 3rd-party websites, see if theyâre hacked or not, banning them, etc.

Just imagine for a second we take this thread back to 2015⌠âHey guys guess what, WE ARE GETTING CLASSIC!! With basically no changes only little ones! Check and see what these people are complaining aboutâ.
Shut up and enjoy classic

Yup.
Basically a few bad people ruined it for the rest. And this change is one of the prices paid to have a game without exploits.
The price had to be paid, so oh well.

âUpsetâ is a pretty strong word for how I feel about it. Iâm mildly, nearly imperceptibly disappointed but this isnât game breaking for me. Just adds to the danger of contested zones, because now the killers leave less evidence.
