If there’s a hidden narrative within SL, buried deeply enough into the content that I and likely others missed it along the way, how does Blizzard propose to fix this issue?
…
It’s not hard, it’s mostly just that Blizzard looks to be on track to not listen and not do anything remotely informed anew by the Community Council, due to the sacred Vision Blizzard has not being worth changing, ever.
I am pretty sure the general lack of faith in Blizzard right now is due to how Blizzard has largely not really ever listened well and done right by the players.
The vast majority of what blizzard has “listened” to includes a backhand slap to the players, or at the very least the idea is tweaked somehow, somehow off of where it was meant to be, and even when Blizzard has the chance to do right by the players, they consistently somehow choose to not do so. Ever.
So if Blizzard wants to actually, you know, listen? And actually try to do the right thing?
The ball is only in Blizzard’s court now, fans have been trying to talk at said Blizzard since 2004, and above all? Blizzard keeps saying, “We hear you and listen” And then they go off and do their own thing and act confused when their not listening action somehow gets them into deeper hot water with the players.
It’s been 17 years.
The CC quite literally has the odds stacked against it.
And that’s only thanks to Blizzard and how they treat the players.
Or, in another common turn of phrase?
Blizzard’s paying customers.
Funny that…
