It really blows my mind

That people care this much about effectively meaningless changes like changing emotes and pictures and including male ghosts in Kara.

Can someone explain to me why people care so much?

I have. How is that relevant to making minor changes in a video game?

It’s why people care.

Because there is more important stuff they need to focus on.

It’s not hard to discern why people would be unhappy that dev attention and resources of any kind are being spent on whitewashed innocuous content.

9.1.5 already covers 95% of changes players have been asking for over the past 2-3 years.
What do you want them focusing their time on?

Why do you care so much about wanting to know why people care so much? Seriously. Why do you care?

It is pretty straightforward once you understand this - whatever the situation is, no matter what Blizzard has done, “DAE Blizzard Bad”.

The Cosby Paradox / Asmongold Paradox seems irreconcilable until you understand that these people don’t think about the implications of their position, they simply say “Blizzard bad” at every opportunity, even if outright contradictory.

It’s kind of like watching someone you don’t know step on a rake or step in dog doo. It didn’t need to happen, it feels bad or smells bad all around. So you try to warn them about the rake and or doo before they step. To then watch them deliberately step in it is frustrating.

Also because it’s gotten incredibly kneejerk at this point. I honestly don’t care that much about any individual item, it’s the aggregate that just makes it clear this isn’t about solving issues it’s about appearances and is completely fake. Which in many was is worse than doing nothing. At least with nothing they haven’t potentially hurt themselves, but making fake changes that don’t actually fix anything is just putting wallpaper over rot and pretending its fine.

Instead of bringing back players by implementing meaningful, impactful game decisions.

9.1.5 will be full of 'We’ve made these changes to promote our agenda of being a changed company "

Also all of the other, game changing changes that are coming to patch 9.1.5

Yeah it wasn’t a movie about political correctness or sexual content being removed from popular media.

Legion time walking for 2 weeks. Every 6+ months.

Such changes will surely be enough for that 30 day mount special.

Many of the actual gameplay mechanics changes are at best papering over some issues but don’t solve the fundamental issues of over designing around RNG. The sole exception being the korthian armaments change. Beyond that conduit acquisition is still completely messed up, gear/loot is still completely messed up, etc.

Removing conduit energy, allowing you to switch covenants whenever you want without consequence. And those are the only the two things I have on the top of my head.
