New Ion interview

According to most dictionaries woke is:

“aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)”

So are you upset that the game is aware of these things or are you against racial and social justice?

When their “woke devs” are too busy posting social justicey things on Twitter to fix zone-wide aggro bugs in Korthia, and I have to zone in and out 15 times just to be able to use a mount, then YES I would say I need an escape from them.

Oh look. Somebody that expects Blizzard employees to work 24 hours a day. Of course you would be against woke issues.

Yea I’ma have to agree with that. Wrath sounded like it was pretty bad for casuals tbh. Although at least it had a far more deterministic gearing path. I think the first truly “alt-friendly” expac would have been WoD since the garrison basically played the game for you.

Never before nor since have my alts been so well-geared as in WoD.

Of course, they just sat at the mission table and never did anything with that gear…

Wasn’t it “increase the number of women/NBs by 50%” or is it “increase the number of women/NBs to 50%?”

That’s a cute way of saying “I’ll ruin your livelihood if you use the wrong pronoun.”

What about it?

At the speed they’re going we have a few options -

9.2 will be the selfie patch revisited with 9.3 a little meatier or…

10.0 will be released in late 2024.

Again, that is an issue they refuse to fix, I’m sure this dev team could, if they really wanted, come up with a decent open world gearing system that works for casual/solo players, problem is, they won’t because they don’t seem to understand anything outside instanced content. Until they expand their horizons and realize there is a whole open world to utilize, this game will continue its current path.

No one gives a rat rear end about racial and social justice. Every time you put those in movies or even tv shows, it ends badly. Instead of realizing what they’re doing is damaging to their company they just double down and called you Racist, Sexist, Bigot, Homophobic, Xenophobia and ect. those customers are giving them the finger and not buying their stuff.

That was always allowed. I’m sure there are plenty are non-woke gaming companies out there that will take your money (there isn’t)

That’s not even a thing. It’s just silly talking point that has never played out.

That’s not what he said though.

He said he wanted to ensure the hiring process wasn’t only hiring white males.

9.1 came out over 4 months ago, still not a peep about 9.2 other than confirming it exists. OOF.

9.3? i am glad to hear that.
i know a lot of people don’t feel happy about it but i don’t want blizzard to make the same mistake they did with dreanor.

with more imagination and if they finally let their artist be as creative as they want and let their computer technic do what is best i know they can fix this.

this whole restrictions and rushness and all this crazyness have mess up a very promising expansion.

people don’t believe blizzard can fix it, but i choose to believe they can.

they need to fix house first and then have their best do what they do best.

Actually, it is.

Just wanna say this is a horrible mindset and is a good way to lead yourself to always be disappointed.

Not the devs fault if they’re trying to change and you still won’t listen.

No one hires based on demographic.

The idea behind things like affirmative action is to ensure your hiring pool is diverse. You’re still picking qualified candidates from that pool

This isn’t hard to comprehend.

As always…what companies have gone out of business SOLELY based on their “woke” ideas?

Have they ever said that merit would play no part in the hiring process? No. You are just adding that into the statement yourself.
