Everyone ITT forgets this is not the same Blizzard.
This isn’t even ActiBlizz anymore, it’s Micro ActiBlizz.

Not good enough I havent had anything returned to me as far as I know as Guild leader. My guild bank has all 6 panels all were 75% full of everything Hundreds of ore , hundreds of leather and professional items for my Guild characters , This was around 12 plus years worth of guild collecting that I used as needed and NOW I need them for some characters its " Well we messes up sorry but tough luck "
100% unacceptable I think that in-game compensation is the very least Blizzard could do and to me with the price of items I should be making and selling every guild should be compensated 10000 gold for each of the 98 slots in each panel the guild has, at the very most this would cost Blizzard 980,000 per guild bank panel the guild has.
But considering the time, energy and some of the rare items some guilds have lost it might be better for Blizzard to compensate us 1 Million gold per panel.
You guys make money hand over fist from us spending time in world if we forget to pay our tier by one day, in fact we are 5 minutes late, You shut us down and we are supposed to accept " We are sorry but we are to stupid to back the system up on the day before we upload an update ???"
The Million per guild bank panel would go a long way to placate Guild members who can then purchase what they need at the auction house and face it its just a few strokes of the keyboard to do so, but will be a massive public relations exercise and a genuine We are really sorry!!!
But I doubt Blizzard is willing to do that !! What we have gotten is Blizzard screwing us over and taking our Items that have in many cases taken 10’s of 1000’s of man hours to collect without appropriate compensation ???
Maybe it is time for a mass walk out and a few hundred thousand of us simply leave Blizzard for a few months or for good like I have heard in a few Forums and guilds. And if I get the same sort of cut and paste response to this like Ive seen on 90 % of the comments here then all of us know you just do not care about your loyal customers who have stuck with your for in my case 19 years !!!
Again 1000% unacceptable Blizzard.

Not trolling. Sure it sucks a little for those affected but its really not that big of a deal. Its some pixels in a video game. You will be ok.

Blizzard should do a formal postmortem where they list the corrective actions they will take to prevent this debacle. Anyone else in a professional career would have to.
They’re dry, sometimes boring, but factually focused. They could even cast doubt on new agile development and screwed up quality assurance. Blizzard should be transparent and change bigly because in another industry there would be serious repercussions from losing customer data.

It’s pixels in a game that we pay money for where collecting these pixels is the point of the game and Blizzard is supposed to keep our data safe. If our data cannot be kept safe, there is no point in playing the game if the items we collect will not stay on our characters. Why is this so hard to understand?
How would you like it if a cloud storage service you paid for suddenly lost all your files, and you had things like sentimental family pictures on it? Too bad, so sad, it’s just data, you’ll live.
People being affected like this is a perfectly valid reason for unsubbing forever, and I support those who do so. Even though I was not affected much (didn’t lose anything important).

Sometimes bad things happen. In this case its just something unfortunate in a silly video game. If the pixels are that important to someone then sure they can quit if they want. From a rational, mature perspective its not that big of a deal.
Then there is no point in playing that “silly video game” if it’s just a silly video game. We should switch to playing games that don’t delete our progress. Just because it’s not a REAL LIFE big deal does not make it not a big deal for the game.
This is unprecedented in an MMORPG. It removes any reason to ever play it. Maybe tomorrow you’ll log in and find out your main was deleted. Too bad, start over.

And even before they decided to undertake this huge change (cross-realm access) some banks already had the log issue, where the logs weren’t always showing activity in the bank. That should have been fixed. I don’t know if they are related, but it could be. For my banks, it hadn’t been working correctly for MONTHS, and I’d reported it through the bug report feature in-game.

While I personally lost nothing and if I did, I don’t think anything was of value because someone else deemed it. That said many of the positions being eliminated are redundant. Is it possible they are cutting dead weight, eliminating the people that were not qualified for the job?
Does it suck to lose a job, yes. Does it affect their product, maybe. When I worked, yes, I am currently unemployed collecting no benefits while having health issues. I gave my all every single day even if I hated the job because I was there to work, while this new generation of workers show up want more money to do less and just sit around and complain that they have to go into work.
Poor buggy products are the result of hiring people that are not qualified to do the job. Poor buggy products are the result of not having a quality control system that says hold the product back. Poor buggy products are the result of corporate greed over valuing the customer than a shareholder.

Just because someone has a different opinion doesnt mean they are trolling. I respect your opinion but I disagree.
I think you got it backward. They’re eliminating the high paid devs so they could save money on their bottom line.
This sounds about right.
Exactly!

you disagree because you didn’t lose anything of significance or have too much free time to re-farm or too much money to the point it has no value.
but ya, you’re a troll.

The funny thing, I didn’t lose anything of significance. But that doesn’t mean I can’t comprehend the sheer magnitude of this issue, and can’t understand how the people that did lose stuff feel. This level of incompetence is unprecedented in MMORPG’s.

If you are a person who enjoys playing this game, and would like to continue, you perhaps should not be as lackadaisical, and forgiving of Blizz, about a potential mass exodus of the players. Eventually people’s complacency will result in less attention to wow, then less money from Blizz for support. Perhaps the lack of support results in the the unrecoverable deletion of your whole account which ultimately is also, to borrow a phrase, just some pixels. . . . where do we all draw the line here?

They are pixels, virtual items. None of it is significant.
Again, just because someone disagrees doesnt mean they are trolling. Some of you getting upset over this.
This isn’t the only game out there. It wouldnt bother me to play something else. I do that frequently anyway. Again, not a big deal.
i agree with most of what you said except for ‘dead weight’. if we compare the number of high impact bugs in TWW to older expansions, it’s noticeably higher (in my experience).
keep in mind that thousands of players purchased the epic edition and tested beta for blizzard free of charge and they still didn’t fix so many bugs…
blizzard isn’t stupid, they don’t need to pay for QA, instead they get us pay them for the privilege of being their QA… and they treat us the same, dead weight.
they will get away with this because not enough players were affected and not streamers of people that can bring attention to the issue.
