Is Blizzard spiteful like that?

Hey, gang!

As a frequent forum user, I observe a lot of mention that Blizzard is petty and spiteful. Take Pathfinder, for instance. There is a large number of players who feel that this achievement was made and continues to be used out of spite. With the intent to remove flying in WoD, and having that backfire, the thinking is that Blizzard spitefully reintroduced flight to the game gated by Pathfinder.

I’m sure there are other examples, but that’s the best one that comes to mind (if you have any other examples, please, post them). And so I ask, do you believe Blizzard is legitimately spiteful in certain situations or is this a misconception?

I don’t believe them to be spiteful but rather master manipulators. They want us to believe pathfinder for example was some type of middle ground when it was the goal all along. They presented us with a terrible thing to get us to a point where we would be more willing to accept a slightly less terrible thing. Yes there was still blow back but it would of been worse had they just gave us pathfinder without first presenting us with that first terrible idea. Its a common manipulation tool tbh.
