There’s nothing in game that I find offensive, and the things that annoy me are removed. I’m a believer in policing my own experience. The tools are there, every player should be making use of them as they need.
I wasn’t a fan of Sylvanas being called b*itch back in Silverpine. It wasn’t necessary and catered to the exact kind of person they are now trying desperately to expunge from their business for harassment etc.
If someone is using stuff regularly in game to harass, they should removed. Not the emotes.
I have not faced harassment in this game. Oddly, a guy I was playing with did before. It happens, but what also happens is the person is reported and sticks around.
It’s People not the game that are offending ,usually some immature men who thinks yelling about body parts for shock value is fun like a 5 year old game it self is very mild compare to most game now
I played start of BFA as a goblin on a RP server. I got hit on in Voldun. “I’m like, Wacha expectin me to wear in a friggin desert, ya weirdo!”
got apploauded for (by him) for excellent rp… people be odd.
Oh, here’s a fun fact.
Did you know about the road from Hellfire Citadel to the Dark Portal in Hellfire Peninsula?
It is called the Path of Glory, filled with Draenei corpses, slaughtered by the Demon Crazed Orcish Horde: Men, women and children alike.
Sink in that for a minute. I bet people will get triggered discovering this.
Every quest that basically has me digging in poop… and spiders are gross, but no… I have been playing since late vanilla early BC and I cant think of anything that got to me. Tho I am personally not so easily put off by cartoon pixels on a screen. Or fictional stories…
Yes the poop quests are extremely juvenile, but like Gnaar I wash my hands and move on.
No …let people play on a IMAGINARY character in a IMAGINARY world how they want, I got asked once if I’m as hot in real life as my character… I typed …turns stares at you and says HOTTER! walks away and puts you on ignore… that simple… nothing in the game offends me… except those who have the unstable mental difficulty separating real world from a make believe one.
There’s much more to it
I’ve had no problem with the game itself. Gamers on the other hand… No, random guy I just met. I’m NOT telling you about my sex life. Ugh.
And even then that depends on the server you play on. I play on Rp servers and the community has been pretty good at policing itself.
I think the treatment of Blizzard employees is inappropriate and Blizzard should let their employees unionize. They can remove or change things in game all they want, it’s not going to fix their reputation as a company at all for me.
Oh wow you’re tooooootally the first person to say that to me oh my goooood
If you don’t have anything nice to say, keep yer trap shut!
No, you said it. Aside from obvious, named trophies to bad people, the main issue is bad player behaviour.
Which, is something blizzard could fix with better CS and GM support. Simple tickets can take days to resolve right now, and the right-click report feature does nothing for obvious cheaters, scammers and harassers.
Oh, apart from your obvious trolling and nonsense.
His opinion is very much valid in this discussion as he can offer perspective from both sides.
Those guys have a fedora that is to small. Its restricting blood flow to their brain.
Nor have I. It is a video game. It is pixels. I believe all emotes to have their usage and purpose. I am still quite upset that whistle is gone. I have always been treated an equal member of guilds I am in without any special treatment. I have been on the bottom rung of guilds and an officer of guilds. I have worn skimpy mogs on my females and loved them. I have worn shirtless mogs on my males and loved them. I have been whistled at in game, I have danced with friends and I have not ever been offended by comments in RP or by random strangers. I do not revel in attention, I do not expect special treatment. I am an avatar on a screen and in over ten years have never found one thing or person that has offended me as a woman or a person.
It just feels like one of those tone deaf things companies do to create the image of change but not really change.
