- Who cares.
- It’s pretty obvious they aren’t doing their jobs from home.
- It’s a pretty weak reason to have a walk out.
- Fire them. There are folks who wouldn’t mind working.
This is one example of a bug, turning into another bug. There’s been a laundry list of bugs. It’s unfortunate because the expansion is good, but the bugs do make it feel uncooked.

Signs point to it being the CoD QA team, and this happened a day ago. I doubt the walk out had an effect on WoW, but maybe they were underperforming because they were working remotely.
Also how to you “walk out” when you work from home?

I wish I could share details. but I recently saw this happen on a pretty big scale.
Really.
It does make sense.
I would imagine anyone who believes that has already gone out and bought shares of Microsoft. So is that what you see as one of your top investments?
If the $90 Bronto was a poor product, no one would be buying it which means no one would be worried about it.
Cool post , but i didnt read it

Stop pretending like any of these companies are doing poorly. They are up on the year, and up on their 5 year.
This isn’t even a valid rebuttal to what I said, its a deflection. That shows you have nothing of substance to say.

Absolutely nothing to do with it. This is all just poor Blizzard management, laziness because they easily make money, and a profit over quality mindset.

This isn’t a logical thought process at all. McDonalds isn’t a good product, its just fast and convenient. Its awful for you, and they have notoriously bad customer service. Feeding off FOMO and skinner box processes doesn’t mean they have a good product.
You think people working on their own will be better than working in the workplace? Hard disagree on that one. As much as I appreciate some people’s discipline. Most would take the easy way out all of the time.
Citation on *most please?
And they aren’t working on their own. They are working at home. Its not like when you get a remote job, you are suddenly your own little manager working on your own little project with no oversight. Companies like this will easily have goals and metrics in place for employees whether they are at home, on the road traveling for work, or in office.
Honestly, you can believe it’s the same exact thing, but I know it’s not, I have worked remotely for a time. Yea, they have deadlines and such, but there isn’t a manager walking by you making sure you’re being efficient.
Also, I’m not too confident the employee’s are even meeting their deadlines to begin with. There has to be a reason for them wanting the employee’s back in the office, and there is, there will be more accountability and control of the work.
We’re talking about lazy people here. They’re on strike because they want to work from home. Give me a break.
I currently work from home three days a week. My office started by allowing one day a week, and saw no changes in productivity, so they allowed us three days at home. We only have two days in office because we have assets to manage there, trainings to handle for new hires, etc. “For a time” give me a break. You’re projecting your own work ethic onto others here, not logical at all. I don’t need a manager stalking me to be efficient, maybe you do, but unless you can show me some peer reviewed studies showing that *most people need a boss to stand behind them with a whip to make sure they are working. you should drop this whole anti employee shtick. We get it, you’re a middle manager with a chip on his shoulder that bows down to the amazing corporation.
If they aren’t meeting deadlines (again, citation please) its because they have poor managers with poor goals in mind, because they have literally just fired a bunch of people, and because as always, in a capitalist society, they care less about quality and more about squeezing money out of consumers with as little overhead as possible so they can give executives and shareholders bonuses.
The reason they want people back in office is because they are control freaks who also pay a pretty penny for their offices and want it filled so they can justify the costs. It also looks better to shareholders.
Wanting to work from home does not make you lazy. Once again, citation needed, please.

The bugs are not their fault, Microsoft just made a slight mistake and fired too many people who understood how the game is coded and could have prevented the bugs from ever happening. I’m sure they said “Who cares, we have people who know C++” but they didn’t know the game and how the code has been tweaked over the years.
It would be like firing Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Benjamin Franklin while writing the Declaration of Independence to save money and then saying “No problem, we have guys who know how to write stuff, it wont make a difference”
Ok maybe not so “slight”

I had a feeling you did LOL. I’m not projecting anything. I’m always at the top of my class in anything I do.
I don’t have to cite anything. You can believe what you want. I don’t really care. I think working in the workplace is leagues better. You can collab better, grow relationships better, work as a team better, be healthier yourself. There’s so many more positives besides also having in person accountability, not an email.
You’re acting like I need to prove something to you. I don’t care to do that. Obviously it struck a nerve with you. You’re the one accusing me of projecting when that’s what you’re doing lol. You have an issue with people thinking those who work from home are less efficient, and you have a problem with that opinion for a reason. Somebody secure in it wouldn’t care.
No, nothing struck a nerve. You’re just always derailing threads with your fist shaking at employees while bowing down to the corporate elite.
Your attempts aren’t going to work on me my man. I’m just proving you’re wrong for fun. No nerves have been struck, no insecurities here. This kind of deflection from you is absolutely meaningless.
The feedback in the OP is mostly due to corporate greed and poor management from Blizzard. Thats all. They need to do better.

Here’s a hint:
You can make profit and not go out of business, but yet also provide a quality product that functions as intended.
Plenty of other companies manage it. There are other MMOs out there that don’t push glaring bugs that are easily seen by an average player within 5 minutes of play onto Live servers.
Have you ever played a Warrior? Like, 5 seconds in combat and bugs that have been in the game for more than a YEAR stare you in the face, like the fact half of the sound effects straight up don’t work.
And it’s been like this.
FOR A WHOLE YEAR or more.
Unacceptable.
This is some kind of crap you’d see in an Early Access game.
EDIT: How about Dracthyr non-Evokers? Literally 10 seconds in combat, you notice that your female dracthyr sounds like a guy when she gets hit and has male grunts for attack sounds. there’s no way this was missed on PTR or internal testing. But they pushed it live because they just didn’t give a crap to fix it.
