If you sat down with Ion what would your conversation consist of?

My conversation would be about of how modern wow should reflect more on the vanilla mindset.

A lot of silence, never asking him a single question because I’m too familiar with the kind of answers lawyers give.

Awkward silence because I don’t know why I’m talking to him…

I guess tell him great job on the game and I’m enjoying my self? Idk

Masterloot. Then old raid mount drop rates, “world bosses especially.” Followed by warmode.

These forums show people do not want vanilla. They want to not grind, to fly, to get their BiS gear with minimal effort. I would shake his hand, say great game and then go back to playing.

Talking about how awesome war mode is? Especially with invasions?

I’d talk about how i’d have just made all PVP servers warmode always on, with the bonuses equal, “the 10% is supposed to make up for downtime from being ganked.”

All pve servers would be warmode off, but you could OPT to turn it on. And then it’s on forever. (Tons of confirmation boxes spelling out exactly what you’re signing up for and MAYBE allow a once a month paid transfer back to PVE)

My knee-jerk reaction is to say I’d probably slap him in the face with a wadded-up newspaper. Then upon reflection I’d probably express the hope that he move on to other career opportunities and that he be replaced with someone who doesn’t have such a blatant faction bias. In my opinion someone in his position should be neutral with no clear preference to either side.

Uhhhhh, probably say “Hello, gotta get going,” then walk away. Never been much for small talk.

Why lock people in when systems now have the design to allow user flexibility. Also some people want to be on a PvP realm (warmode on) where their friends/guild they play with has people that want PvE realm (warmode off).

I can’t tell you cause it’s against ToS.

I’d ask:

What is your end goal with Bolvar Fordragon, the Lich King, since uhh, err, you know, your playerbase probably yearns for another Lich King based expansion.

Why are you like this?

I would just meme insults at him, it is pretty clear that he won’t listen to anyone says anyway so I might as well get some catharsis out of the encounter.

I wouldn’t want to talk about our jobs, that’s for sure. What a boring convo that would be.

He’s a Yankees fan so this Sox fan would probably give him some guff for that. If he’s a Knicks fan, it’d be even worse.

The whole point of WM was to give the choice.

Would ask for his opinion on a few questions about the industry in the point of view of an animation student. Other than that, would be silence. Not because I don’t like the guy, I just suck at asking questions in person.

Me slapping him around the room.

Because it doesn’t work. Locking people in would.

Heck, NOW you can can’t play with your warmode friends since they are phased separately from you. PVP server never mattered in instances.

This thread is going to be like a bug zapper attracting internet tough guys.
