The game is up far more than it’s down. When it’s down I just go do something else because it isn’t the only thing I have in my life.
One big difference between wow and most companies is that most companies lose money when their service is down. Amazon goes down for a minute and they lose millions of dollars in orders that they would have had. Wow goes down for hours and they feel no pain whatsoever.
At the end of the day it’s a problem that they could fix, but choose not to and prioritize other things.

Here, have some salt to go with the boot licking. 2007 was 17 years ago. That’s the same year the first iPhone was released. There is no way, in 2024, there should be these many problems for an expansion release.
What does this have to do with anything I said? I was talking about the length of maintenance. It isn’t remotely comparable now to how it was 17 years ago. If you want to be unhappy about having maintenance or the issues with the game that’s fine, but you can do it without the ridiculous hyperbole.
And thanks for the insult BTW. Apparently me remembering what it was like in 2007 = being a bootlicker, somehow.
Everything was fine, until they decided to monkey around with scaling to slow down leveling. Which would have happened even if they decided to delay until October.
And today yet another “Sheduled Maintenance” two hour window turned into FIVE hours. This company is a soup sandwich and the executives in charge of Dev, PM, QA and release should all be canned after this hot mess.
Diversity Hiring
It’s just you.
Seriously, go see how software is actually made.
While you’re at it, make sure it’s software that’s been updated and changed for 20 years.
alot of the bugs were reported on beta but yet here we are and there still here
Yes, while you’re at it, also check on what it is to be a multi-billion-dollar company is and how that company should be professional at what they do as specially when handling a player base with as many players as Blizzard has.
Also, I know it is hard, but maybe try not to be a simp. This expansion has been a complete sh*t show, and you know it.
Blizz is not going to send you a box of cookies or promise you a pardon for defending them when they screw things up. This isnt the RNC.
No one worth their salt wants to work for blizzard. That’s all there is to it.
if only you had a basic understanding about how testing in a test enviroment vs how prod worked
I work at a “multi-billion dollar company”, in software development. I know what I am speaking about when it comes to legacy code. It isn’t as simple as throwing a bunch of money to rewrite it. They do what they can, but there are likely several instances of work-arounds that have been done to make things work over the course of 11 expansions.
I’m not simping for Blizz, I’m just pointing out the obvious. It isn’t nearly as simple as you think it is, in your armchair quarterbacking of their product. I 100% guarantee it isn’t.
And therein lies your problem “work at one and I know”. Do your job and plan the project appropriately. This isn’t the paying customer’s problem, it is the company’s. Don’t like that, quit and go sell hot dogs for a living.
