No. There are other platforms they could use. Trust levels seem to be a way to keep people on the forums every day.
It also is very much like social credit rating. I’ve been a subscriber since 2011, 6 months at a time every time til just about a month and some weeks ago.
Anyway, it doesn’t matter. Some people are going to defend Blizzard to death because some want to continue to play, like the herd dynamic so will dogpile on others who disagree and then some are employees just doing their jobs.
I’m not trying to convince anyone of anything, just saying what I’m doing and why.
If some don’t like that, don’t read it.
I will miss some on these forums though. Quite a few, I think. Smart, funny people still here, so many have gone by now.
Like Koro, Adelphie, et al.
G’night.
