here you go, this is the person you want to talk about that.
No, I’m talking to you. You said it was illegal. Or do you just blindly believe what people tell you on the forums?
I didn’t really believe what you claimed was proof that things were datamined either but it wasn’t important enough to argue.
So no I don’t but I don’t care to waste my time on things not important.
I proved that the PTR wasn’t even up yet when Wowhead put out the information about the Brutosaur FoS. Which was right between two articles about datamining.
Yet here you are. Whether or not the Brutosaur FoS was datamined or not is apparently very important to you.
You didn’t prove how they obtained things. You didn’t prove in fact that the PTR wasn’t up at the time earlier, it just wasn’t mentioned in the one link.
Just another Flintstone mount, get a friggin life…
It was sandwiched between two articles about datamined stuff. It was posted hours before an article about the PTR actually being live.
And it ultimately doesn’t matter how it was discovered, we still needed Blizzard’s confirmation if the mount was staying or not. And they waited until someone brought it up on the forums.
Bottom line? Stop defending Blizzard’s horrible communication skills. I don’t know how you could possibly imagine that did a good job in handling this. They should have had something ready to post before anyone even saw the Brutosaur FoS, no matter how they saw it. And it definitely shouldn’t have taken nearly two weeks to finally get a reason as to why it was being moved to the BMAH.
Aye, and engagement tracks time per user.
Daily time spent per player in Blizzard’s franchises again increased year-over-year.
I’m sure you can locate in that document the part where they specifically exclude WoW from the rest of the Blizzard engagement metrics.
First, if you bothered to look, there are spaces in the link. Otherwise I wouldnt be allowed to post it.
Second, https://

You dont know what data mining is.
Edit: I see Rankin did a much better job than me and you still refuse logic.
You can post links without spaces, just use ` before and after a link to make it post as code:
https://www.lexico.com/definition/data_mining
And a linked version since I have TL3:
Just tried it and it said I cant put links in my posts. Guess the system hates me.
The ` have to be right in front and after the link, no spacing.
`https://www.lexico.com/definition/data_mining`
https://www.lexico.com/definition/data_mining
Or just use 4 spaces before the link, I guess that works too.

Ok I was using the wrong key.
There was a few hours difference at most between when wowhead published that and when the PTR was up. There was NO need to get your shorts in a knot over that amount of time that you DIDN’T know.
make some friends and sell mythic plus carries
on average you can make like 50k per player per dungeon and prob much much much more once the weekly cap is +15
You’re still splitting hairs. The FoS didn’t tell us if the mount was being changed or not. We still needed confirmation from Blizzard. And Blizzard should have been proactive in telling us what was going on and why.
Instead players had to bring it up on the forums before they said anything. And then it took them nearly two weeks to finally tell us why it was happening.
Now stop defending their laughably bad communication skills and stop splitting hairs about when we found out about the FoS.
I think you guys are being unreasonable in your expectations for communication. They are a business, you are a consumer. You are acting like jealous, possessive spouses.
This is a subscription based service. We pay them monthly to access the game. The least they could do is give us a heads up on any forthcoming changes. They know this stuff irritates players. They have a long history of dropping the ball. Yet here you are, defending them when they’ve dropped the ball again. It’s absolutely baffling that you would feel the need to defend a billion dollar corporation over their inability to communicate changes in a timely manner.
I imagine if some of your customers throw a hissy fit everytime you make changes, you as a business stop caring about those customers throwing hissy fits.
They could have just removed this in the prepatch to shadowlands instead of giving people almost a year’s notice. There was no need to put that FoS in the game at this point in time. And you know what the fuss would not be any different if they had done that.
You should be grateful you got 9-12 months notice.
Right “hissy fit” as you want to call it. Or we can call it feedback over yet another half-baked idea on their part. One that they should have been able foresee a year ago. But no. You’re going to defend their ineptitude. Well I’m sure Lore can sleep well at night, even though he wasn’t going to do anything anyway.
Ah yes, we should be grateful that almighty Blizzard has bestowed even the smallest amount of mercy upon us.
