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

Please realize that the gold advertisers were using cheats and exploits to drop corpses in specific arrangements in cities. They didnt drag a mob to stormwind on 35 characters and let it kill them in a specific spot. Blizz surely has enough anticheat systems by now to prevent that action or at least detect it and perma ban the accounts used while deleting their specific corpses and/or skeletons.

Blizzard is not interested in recreating exploits, I can understand that. But the skeletons themselves arent an exploit or a glitch. We are being punished for someone abusing that mechanic.

Could Blizzard fix it in a way that banned the gold advertiser cheats? Probably. Would it stop everything? … no. Some amateurs would still pilot their bodies manually to create curse words or other inappropriate language.

Is it worth the dev time for Blizzard to try to come up with a more complex fix when they already have a fix that works all the time? Nope!

Is it worth changing a feature in a fan service product thats entire point is to replay the game as it was 15 years ago, which means avoiding changes as much as possible. no.

Is it worth the dev time to change the way things operated instead of leaving it as is, because the off chance little timmy gets his feelings hurt? Apparantly yes.

I’d have preferred a more elegant solution, but eh, doesn’t bother me much.

They’re cool and all but really I have better things to be upset about.
Gotta pick my battles and this ain’t one

Well. This was prophetic.
