Goblin starter zone Ex-GF/BF quests

I’m very surprised they left these questlines intact, considering all the benign stuff they removed in the wake of the sexual harassment allegations.

Blurry painting of a girl in her underwear? GONE
Harmless /silly jokes? GONE

A questline where your ex cheats on you, so you then murder the person they cheated on you with, then you murder them and literally take their heart? Totally fine.

Sounds perfect for a fantasy video game.

Here is the dialogue for the 2 quests
1.
" Dude! You’re never going to guess who’s out on the oil platform to the north.

<Ace shakes head in disbelief.>

Chip’s out there, and he’s working for the Trade Prince. That traitor’s now working for the other team. But worse, I heard he’s going out with your ex-girlfriend, Candy Cane!

I don’t know about you, but if he was going out with my ex, I’d do something about it."

" Oh, sweetie! You’re never going to guess who’s down in the slave pits to the north.

Candy’s down there, and she’s working for the Trade Prince. She dropped you like a bad habit and now she’s working for the other team. but it gets worse. Since you “dealt” with Chip, she’s dating the Trade Prince!

I don’t know about you, but if she were my ex, I’d rip her fickle heart right out of her chest."

Sounds less like something in a fantasy game and more like one of the quest designers is an incel. I don’t know how anyone could argue that that dialogue isn’t worse than everything they removed combined.

i’m surprised you did’nt point out that the ex-gf/bf quest implies that your character is heterosexual. bravo to you sir! for not pointing out the part that you know modern-folks would really take issue with! :+1:

Literally nothing wrong with those quests.

Take your trolling and leave. Thanks.

The things that were removed were about the ones that put them in the game, not the content itself.

My point wasn’t that they should be removed, it was that I was surprised that they weren’t.

But if I could make a trade, I’d have Blizzard change that questline and re-add everything else they removed.

That is just simply not true. They removed a ton of jokes and vaguely sexual content.

If it were that, then they’d have removed many other things in the game. Blizz confirmed it was about the ones they let go due to the controversy that they removed some things.

You’ll just have to live with that.

And the removal of that content was honestly a non-issue.

I seriously doubt you even noticed it was there before it was removed, so why on earth do you care now that it’s gone? Move on.

You are conflating different things. They renamed McCree in Overwatch, for example, because of someone who did things. They also removed a ton of stuff because of the content itself, like the removed jokes.

Uh oh, what new hill did you all find to die on?

McCree was renamed due to Jesse McCree who was on the Diablo team. The other stuff was removed because of people who were removed from the WoW team.

Some race/genders like Troll Males have like 2 jokes now. It’s an issue.

No it’s not.

Were you spamming /joke on a Troll male at any point before this change? No? Didn’t think so.

It’s a non-issue.

So really you don’t have any opinions outside of “defend Blizzard at all costs”.

You are pro-removal of jokes, but anti-removal a questline that actually has disturbing real world implications.

But I guess this doesn’t resonate with someone on the WoW forums with 12,000 posts, since you’ve obviously never had a relationship.

Bilgewater goblins aren’t good people. Like, that’s literally one of their defining characteristics

Ethically, I believe that this is morally right. If you cheat, you risk your life.

If this was removed, Blizzard would be condemning certain cultures who agree with me that martial infidelity should carry the death penalty.

Blizzard doesn’t want to alienate any culture. They want to address harassment without upsetting deeply held cultural morals and ethics such as this one.

Don’t cheat

Really helped making me sound not crazy, thanks bro for confirming my belief that 99% of you are alt-right losers.

No I am anti-stupidity and anti-making mountains out of molehills.

Also, goblins killing people who annoy them/betray them is literally part of their entire racial character.
