I am quite aggravated that I have to come on the forums all the time to defend classic wow so all these forum lurkers don’t come in here and claim they are the majority of the community.
You are not the majority of the community, these people are never happy and sit on forums ALL DAY LONG. They come on the forums and spend countless hours crying about how they don’t like one particular part of the game such as, world pvp… or running to dungeons… or having to look for a group in a chat.
These forum lurkers act as if they represent the majority of the community but they do not. The majority of the community is playing the game and enjoying it, like me. They’ll even come on to post on multiple characters to make it seem like there’s just an overwhelming population of people that agree with the complaint.
It’s absolutely ridiculous that blizzard listens to forum lurkers who complain about everything they possibly can. Then when blizzard caters to these idiots, they point the finger at blizzard. If you actually wanted to destroy a game for your benefit, you could just make a bunch of robotic forum posters.
Keep in mind the loudest are always the first to be heard. A forum is a platform for the voice and those with the most inciting content will likely always get the attention, true or not.
I’m not sure what you mean by ‘lurkers’ as lurkers are the ones that just sit back and read.
But among the forum, there are people who are voices of reason, though albeit many get pulled in by some of the irritation caused by those loud few.
Thank you, glad I’m not the only one annoyed at Blizz for catering to these jokers. Lest they forget this is how we got here in the first place. It kinda tickles me hearing them all cry that “Blizz isn’t answering”…wonder why? How do you punish children? Yet they persist, like petulant children…
Lurkers to me are people who are on the forums all day arguing with people, complaining, making flame posts, making bait posts, etc. etc. Lurking around waiting for someone to disagree with.
That’s usually just referred to as trolling, depending on what you post. (If it’s actually just to be incessantly inflammatory, not just percieved as such). But everyone calls everything trolling now, so it’s lost it’s meaning. Idk being lazy? lol
You’re right that the majority, regardless of how they feel about the game, are not on these forums. Blizzard making decisions based on the forums, on the other hand, seems like a stretch. Twitter / Reddit seem much better at getting their attention, TBH.
