Oh I seen some of it, just when I thought Balance was done being nerfed it gets nerfed some more.
It’s a mess.
Or you can do everyone a favor and open your eyes. My example literally happened this expansion and you didn’t even know about it. On GD there was literally a 10k post thread talking about it.

Aight, i’ll address a couple of these lies, starting with yours. As you provided no source on yours, i had to find my own and i managed to find an article from around the time 7.2 came out. //https://mashable.com/article/wow-item-level-scale
the most relevant quote in the article seems to be
“This reflects a deliberate change, but it’s also not working exactly as we intended,” he said on the wow forums Wednesday. “The scaling may be too steep, and the fact that unequipping a piece of gear can ever be helpful is a bug in the system. We’ll be looking into making changes to correct this in the very near future.”
Nothing hints at him trying to hide the fact that mob scaling was implemented when confronted with it being a thing.
As for the ripcord and how ion lied about it not existing, aside from my own personal experience on these forums around that time, i happened to find this helpful reddit thread. //https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/iqrwpv/ehm_what_does_ripcord_mean/
relevant quote
It’s a reference to a comment the game director Ian used in an interview with Preach Gaming. He said “if we need to pull that ripcord, it exists” when asked if they could allow covenant swapping.
Unfortunately i cannot include links in my posts as i’m a naughty boy, for the relevant articles i added a // before the url.
I did open my eyes, i did what you all suggested and found sources for your claims. Oddly enough the factual sources seemed to contradict yours. Weird. Would you like to comment on that?
What would you considered to be communications? When the blizzard tracker for the past couple of months have been active in terms of communication based on class, design, quality of life, and any and all related to Dragonflight design and stuff. What else do you people want from them? Or is it that you people want them to waste their man power to talk to strangers about random stuff nothing related to game design and stuff.
While I appreciate the sentiment… this has unfortunately been proven false. Blizzard community representatives have historically been bullied since day 1 of WoW, even back when Blizzard was considered one of the best and could do no wrong. Now, some of the representatives kind of brought it on themselves, allowing their own personal opinions cloud their judgement and causing them to say things that only caused backlash against them. But even the most professional and well respected community reps would inevitably have people blaming them for things not their fault, or have demands made of them, or just plain be outright disrespected for no reason.
There’s a reason why every regular blue in the history of this forum inevitably either quit or were broken and said something they shouldn’t have.
Clearly none of them had thick enough skin for the wow forums. Smh blizz not even able to hire people who can tolerate such innocent jokes such as “get hit by a bus” or “go die because you nerfed my class” clearly its blizz staff thats the problem, not the players.
Your sick you know that. Your type of people think words have zero consequences and will not have any effect on anyone when it does have effect.
I mean we gotto adhere to some rules as well. E.g. not sending death threats to start with.
same. its such a sham but at the same time the average wow gamer is so toxic that I don’t blame them. They should at least be talking in the community council though
you need help if think this language is okay in any place. This will not only get you a forum ban but in game ban as well
The people they fired weren’t gms lol
You would think you would be a little more informed about a game you play every day.
You’re pretending that those types of comments were common.
They were not.
Like I said, moderation is the key, and almost none of that happens here.
A threat? Banned. Rudeness? Warning, then ban is it continues.
Then it will stop. People will learn to behave, and then civil discourse can happen.

Don’t know how far you go back with the game but back during vanilla days I think through wrath maybe there were devs popping in and out of the forums responding to feedback here and there.
There were a few that were well liked and people recognized their forum handles.
But sadly it all changed as the community turned more toxic (I hate the over use of that word btw but can’t think of anything else).
Plus it’s best for them just read in the background and not actually responding.
Yeah Blues just say " Hello " , not all of us will bite 
Ion said that there was a “ripcord” they could pull, but first they wanted to try to make covenants and players being locked to initial choices work.
Later he admitted there was no ripcord and had never been one. But I knew when he originally brought up the “ripcord” idea that it was already too late in the development process to make changes that deep.
And everything the naysayers predicted came true. You were there during the discussions at the time, telling us that nobody would ever have difficulty getting into a group based on covenant choice, build, or balance.
Well, people didn’t predict that more than half of players would quit the game. Nobody could have imagined it, though Blizzard had the power to determine how well a development project and features would be accepted before giving it the go ahead.
It’s called marketing research. A responsible business ignores what their customers want to pay for at their own peril.
I mean, you realize i was being sarcastic right? I was communicating that this sort of behavior is bad.
Yeah Blizz has been misleading or outright lied to us in the past. As for the #pulltheripcord debacle, Ion had said they had a ripcord in place to pull in the interview he did with Preach Gaming. Later, Ion admitted there wasn’t a ripcord because to “pull it” would unravel the whole system. His exact quote was “In short, pulling on that thread (or cord, as it were) would unravel the entire fabric of the system. Even so, we would embrace the work required to rebuild the covenant system along those lines if we agreed that it would be an improvement, but we ultimately do not share that view.” Now after losing the majority of the player base that SL had started out with, along with many going over to the competition (FF14), they finally did rebuild the system to allow for covenant switching, assuming they can be believed that it wasn’t possible when that interview took place. And here’s a link to the article discussing there not actually being a ripcord with the quote I provided.
Considering everyones sources for blizzes supposed lies is “just google it” and my googling, that ive backed up with the sources ive found says the opposite, id say im more informed than most people here who seem to subscribe to alternative facts.
