"/spit has been removed from Burning Crusade Classic when targeting players
When Blizzard said they cared about combating harassment and bullying, they meant it"
If there’s targeted harassment towards people for buying a mount or a 58 boost, blizzard should step up to combat it.
Why should /spit be included in the game if it’s often used by toxic players to harass others?
PS: I know a lot of people dislike Asmon, the main point is the facts/opinion presented, not the person behind it.
Why should in-game chat be included in the game if it’s often used by toxic players to harass others?
Why should PvP be included in the game if it’s often used by toxic players to harass others?
Why should the freedom to interact with other people the way we choose be included in the game if it’s often used by toxic players to harass others?
Why are we even playing an MMO?
These are pretty silly strawman arguments.
Can you describe to me what makes them strawman arguments in your mind, and how they fundamentally differ from emote-based player interactions in the context of toxicity?
Why didn’t you just post this in your other thread about your sjw crusade? Weren’t you getting enough attention there any more? /comforts op
As for Asmon, seems to me he doesn’t need your advertisement of his opinion. Then again, his name alone will generate lots of responses for you in this thread, so nice try.
Ain’t no rest for the triggered!
I can’t wait until these SJWs get their way and then find out way before it’s too late that there’s no going back.
This person can’t because SJWs do not care about well thought out discussions that go against their pre-conceived notions on how the world around them should behave.
More like no one cares, bring back spit!
Asmongold word is law.
#FreeTheBrows!
Asmongold is a toxic, clown just like his fanbase.
He doesn’t play WoW.
He quit for FF XIXZLQ.
He was one of the most toxic players to play this game.
He would have been the perfect Blizzard employee since he takes advantage of his followers.
Has he cleaned his room in 20 years?
Being rich apparently doesn’t mean anything anymore.
Stop posting his garbage.
No one cares.
Asmongold, one of the biggest hypocrites I’ve ever seen. Do fans of his really not see his grift? The dude will say and do anything to get people pissed at wow so he can make a buck. Wait until he turns on FF here soon.
While I agree that removing /spit was the right move, Asmon doesn’t help the cause. What little I’ve seen from him has often been toxic and arrogant, hardly a good spokesman for any cause.
If you’re a sheeple to these attic and basement dwellers I just simply feel bad for you.
I agree!
They should combat it by not including retail stuff like paid mounts, “QoL” improvements that weren’t part of TBC and so on.
They should have just given us a true to the original reincarnation of the game, including the support back then in regards to at least attempting to balance servers and dev involvement in the community.
How am I suppose to Spit and Lick people now?
LOL this game hardly resembles original TBC at all anymore.
Let’s do a little hypothetical thought experiment, since that seems to be where you’re operating from.
The year is 2002. Blizzard is designing a new MMORPG.
Explain why they should include a /spit emote in the game to begin with.
After you finish your explanation for that part. Move on to the next part.
Now imagine blizzard never put a spit emote into the game to begin with. How many people do you think would come to the forums and ask for that feature to be put into the game?
After you’ve gone through this thought experiment and you’re not entirely insane. You’ll see why everything you just said above was idiotic.
Because its an rpg and they can and your weak attempt at reasoning is no reason not to.
Wasn’t this guy hyping up the /spit WeakAura aimed at booster mounts?
