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

If 40 people are killed around the same time in said area, you will still see 40 skeletons.

The original game, with all its flaws, was perfect.

I don’t want a flawless version of the original game. I want the original game.

This change isn’t an adaptation to new hardware or client design. It’s a blatant change to remove something that’s perceived as a flaw in the original game. I WANT ALL OF THE FLAWS FROM THE ORIGINAL GAME INTACT.

Except it’s the principle of the thing. Really! Give the PC movement an inch and they’ll take a bloody mile, it just the way it goes.

This is actually true. I knew Blizzard couldn’t resist meddling. We all knew it.

[Astrius-dalaran]

And? You’re talking about an entire game, not an insignificant feature like skeletons.

So then it should be the easiest thing in the entire world to reintroduce the skeletons.

If skeletons is the only reason someone’s playing WoW, then that’s a problem in itself.

I know a person claimed that’s the only reason, but my reasoning is for as little changes as possible. I’d also like this feature to return in retail, though.

I’m sure the 2 subs blizz will lose because of skeletons will really change their mind /s.

Apathy as a result of small consequences is just a disgusting thing, imo.

Stop acting like you’re entitled to something.

If you’re gonna set out to specifically make classic servers, this is a feature that should be in them. It’s not even subjective.

I’m starting to think that because of how passionate you are about this argument, that you’re trying to minimize the impact of this so that it doesn’t affect the enjoyment of your own experience. It’s a change, and a bad one. Gonna have to accept that.

[Theodras-stormrage]

I hope you got a hot tub time machine.

[Dijkstra-kelthuzad]

I don’t mind how long I am going to queue. But, I want all the skeletons. I want the epic chills.

[Manhammer-amanthul (Manhammer)]

It’d be nice if Blizzard made a list of “Changes that we’d like to review and address later when we have more time.” Skeletons and corpses should be on that list.

Nope, I like the skeletons, actually, I think it was a great feature. But you’re sitting around here claiming it’s “game breaking” and how awful the response was to this when, in fact, it was a legitimate issue. They don’t need nor want to reintroduce skeletons. I’m passionate about how annoying you all’s whining and complaining for every little f**king thing is. That’s what I’m passionate about.

Screw skeletons, completely insignificant. What I said can be applied to every little thing that’s being whined about, but still we’ll see you all next Monday!

I have to go to a meeting I’ll be back later to see another one of your sad responses.

The problem is that unlike hate speak in chat there is no way to detect skeleton writing spam and alerting people. If they don’t get to it quickly, there is no proof it happened unless someone took a screen cap with a timestamp, and even then how to prove the screen cap wasn’t altered.

Sorry but the small benefit you get from seeing skeletons isn’t worth it.

I feel like I touched the right nerve here.

You claimed it wasn’t game breaking, I implied it affected the game as a response. I did not claim it was game breaking.

They don’t need nor want to reintroduce skeletons.

And we don’t need classic.

Yeah, I really trust your argument is genuine after you said this.

I have to go to a meeting I’ll be back later to see another one of your sad responses.

Imagine going on a forum for the same reasons, talking about the same subjects, and opposing it equally, but somehow the responses are “sad”. Okay man, you’re upset. I get it. I just don’t get how you can be more upset about people wanting a feature that was there, more than the people actually wanting that feature. Probably because of my reasoning in the post you responded to.

[Theodras-stormrage]

Anything that has to do with player conduct is probably going to remain with current rules and standards. They are not going to roll back those types of items.

You’re right. I remember back in 2005 when everyone left the game because of skeleton writing. Thousands of lives were lost due to suicides, because of the things people wrote with skeletons.

Every private server has failed because of skeleton writing too. The moment it happens, you may as well just shut everything down.

[Fearoftdark-akama]

is this a game breaking change? No. Does it really matter to most of us? No. Do I care if skeletons linger or disappear… No.

Hello boiling frog, hope you’re hanging on.
Blizzard is turning up the heat.

What about when people do this with live bodies? Should we remove the live bodies from the game as well?

[Ramenoodle-malygos]

It’s the only way to prevent the suicides. Everyone will kill themselves if someone writes something naughty.

Even the time tested swear jar cannot save you now.

Think of the children!

[Swifthoof-twisting-nether (Swifthoof)]

Well, things have changed since 2005. From Blizzard’s point of view there is a risk some SJW will see some offensive message and the next thing you know some liberal press has a screenshot pronouncing that WoW is the game for white supremacists, or WoW is what makes people commit mass murder.

You can joke about it, but they have to consider worst case scenarios. What is the worst that can happen from removing skeletons?

And doing it with live bodies requires moronic co-operation on a far larger scale.

Streamers like asmon have their fans doing it by themselves while they’re afk.

The same consequence you mentioned can still happen this way.

[Hiredgun-jubeithos]

Does it go back on their stance of #nochanges? Yes

[Swifthoof-twisting-nether (Swifthoof)]

Yeah but the fans are probably not spelling out stuff that is truly offensive.

[Fearoftdark-akama]

I’m not fighting for or against anything. I’m just saying that y’all complain a lot…about literally everything. It’s sad. I don’t care whether they do or not, I’m just fine with skeletons disappearing, I’m just fine with them there.

So let me translate here:

I’m not fighting for or against anything. I’m just complaining a lot…about literally everything.
It’s sad. I don’t care whether they do or not, I’m just fine with complaining, I’m just fine with complaining about complainers.
