You guys have no dev team for Classic do you? That’s why you’ve fixed none of the bugs, you’ve made no changes and allow AV to be exploited, you’ve banned none of the bots etc.
We’ve heard exactly zero dev response on any issue… because there are no devs… Activision didn’t allot any devs for Classic WoW, and we are playing an MMO on autopilot…
They made it a cash cow and were too cheap to hire someone for community outreach.
By the way, it would take ~3k subs for ONE MONTH to maintain the salary of someone that would actually talk to the community. Imagine how many subs would’ve been saved for MONTHS if a billion dollar company had the foresight to hire someone that actually cared about the well being of the game.
People are saying it’s impossible to do that because the forums (while heavily moderated) are still too toxic.
Press X to doubt
I could literally hire a brain dead monkey paying him in rotten bananas and it would still provide a better community response than what the Classic team has given so far.
Are you kidding? An intern could freaking read some community discussions, take notes, and attend meetings to go over community discussions. Also you think there isnt someone already doing that? Of course they read their forums.
It’s not an excuse. It’s the only option they have. If they started adding changes like transmog the entire playerbase would collapse. They can’t add features that didn’t exist in Vanilla.
Doing even minor things sets a dangerous precedent that could destroy the delicate balance. Way less people are going to complain about it being the same than people will complain about it being different.
Nobody’s asking for a mod to respond to the morons trolling every topic, just post an update about the release schedule sooner than 1 week before it drops.
Is that REALLY so much to ask from a billion dollar company?
Step 1: refuse to moderate forum and let it become toxic cesspool
Step 2: blame toxicity of forum for absence of moderators
Step 3: enjoy white knights, who claim forum is “heavily moderated”
Fix bugs?
Classic, warts and all…
You do understand they are DELIBERATELY leaving bugs in the game…right?
I mean, they said that from the outset, I don’t know why people are confused about that.
Hey, I don’t disagree that the game is in kind of a mess right now. They dropped AV right at the beginning of the holiday season and then they all left the office, leaving the game to fester. And now there’s no comment at all.
