Anyone else upset that they are removing skeletons from the game?

Except its very possible for them to keep the skeletons how they were in vanilla.

I am. What happened to #

Carnifex? Were you on kael’thas ever?

Would you agree that Blizzard could find a way to easily log the players that make inappropriate skeletal signs? There are plenty of ideas that could solve this issue, and not compromise the original affect, but also offer tools to prevent the incident for which they decided to nerf it. So why not petition Blizzard to find a way? A lot of players value it, and even if others don’t care, why would they mind those who are advocating for a reconsideration, or even try to dismiss it?

No I’ve only been on Twisting Nether and Emerald Dream.

This exactly.

This is a non issue

How is it a non-issue?
There is definitely an issue with a change that devalues the original experience being made not because blizzard couldn’t figure out how to re-create it but because some jack-off somewhere may abuse it. They’re making a change because someone may make bad words or advertisements. So the majority of the player base loses out on a neat thing.

They copied off the crap everyone was spamming… if you continue to read it, it says as authenticly as possible. They don’t say it will be a replica which would mean no changes.

As authentically as possible would mean only changing things that are hard to replicate because classic is made by reverse engineering 7.3.5. Its pretty accepted by the community that the phase system isn’t going to be authentic to the release schedule of classic but its close. There are some things that we just have to accept but the reasoning behind the change with skeletons has nothing to do with technical difficulties, server performance, or them being unable to replicate it. The reasoning for not implementing the original skeleton mechanic is artificial as preventive damage control in case some 14 year old figures out he can write the N word or draw boobs with skeletons. Gold advertisers if they really still want to do body advertising will still kill themselves just the way they used to do. Most the time they didnt even recover their bodies to even become skeletons. The change doesn’t stop the advertisements using stolen accounts and placing corpses in an arranged message. We lose more with the change than we can gain. The person you are replying to is not in the wrong for seeing this as a conflict with blizzards response of keeping it as authentic as possible. To reiterate they could and can make the skeletons authentic but are not doing it because of those who may abuse it and the current climate of outrage culture. Blizzard wants to avoid “Gamers spell out racial slurs with skeletons” on the front of an IGN article. Even though in retail a single player can drop 50 feasts and do the same thing. It’s a BS excuse for not re-creating an authentic experience.

Authentically as possible means whatever they want it to mean. It’s there game. Not going to waste my time reading all that crap.

More realistic without dem bones. You don’t see bones laying everywhere in real life either. We got street sweepers. Maybe blizzard should give players brooms to make it more realistic.

I think I need to start a guild focused on finding out what is happening to all the skeletons. Are murlocs eating them? Is Sylvanus using them toward some evil end? Are they being stolen by Candleja

I’m upset for sure. Does this mean Blizzard will take out other aspects of the game because of scammers or “hate speech.” As far as the scammers I understand, but surely there is a better way to get rid of them instead of removing a feature of the game. And people say all sorts of offensive things in any online game, its just something all gamers deal with(Don’t forget there’s an ignore button). You can’t censor everything. I was very excited for WoW Classic, but I’m less inclined to give my $$ to Blizzard when I see things like this just a few days before release.

It does matter. Its a sign that s**t went down in that area. If you dont care about the skeletons then youre either on a PvE server or completely oblivious to the fact that you can get decent intel for a PvP situation.

I read this was just for China… I will be fking pissed if its removed for all other servers… You are right… It is a HUGE part of game immersion… And I for one will not be happy if it is removed!!!
#nochanges aye?? – F
KING C**TS!!!

It was not a “constant problem” … you’ve got to be kidding me lol… Its part of the game… Its crazy that I’ve been ok with minor tweaks theyve put out for WoW Classic up until this point… I am fking furious that they are meddling with the skeletons… It is a huge part of PvP servers and game immersion… I frankly dont give a FK about what country doesnt allow skeletons in their games. They can have a modified client or separate server… DO NO MESS WITH OUR SH*T #nochanges

Skeleton changes will be the least of our worries if Classic is popular.

After 15 years, we all know Blizzard by now.

this has got to be the STUPIDEST thing I have read in a long while.
Listen, if you do not understand how much RMT used skeletons constantly… daily you would fly into Org and see a new ad.
No, Classic is going to have tons of RMTs trying to pay their rent, we don’t need anymore of them ruining the world with their ads all over again.
It’s an easy fix, one I’m thankful for.
Now if we could just get these drama queens to actually find, report, and PK the RMT players, NOW THAT WOULD BE AN IMPROVEMENT.
