Seriously. We have the tools now. You can quote. You can post links. Use them.

Every damn thread is full of people saying “Blizzard said” “Article Proves” “I saw a blog where…” “Numbers prove” “They posted stats on WoWhead” “Everybody knows”

Enough of it. If you want to quote a Developer, say you have inside information, refer to a blog, then post the damn link or I am assuming you are just making stuff up and I will point and laugh at you.

Idk man when people say super believable stuff like that guy who said blizzard pays horde to wreck ally cities but bans alliance who raid horde cities it makes more sense to just believe him.

A developer told me I didn’t have to provide evidence of my claims.

You wouldn’t know who he is though, he lives in Canada.

Also he died last week so you can’t meet him.

Agreed to an extent, it’s always just better to ask for evidence though as that is how one learns new information.

You are free to laugh at them however when they spit out the old “just Google it man” and refuse to provide any supporting evidence of their claims.

Lately there’s a lot of talk over Blizzard ‘attacking’ fans because of Diablo immortal. I have seen gaming journalists attack fans, but not Blizzard themselves.

I think you’re making this up.

How did they attack the fans? If anything blizzard made themselves look like jackas$es and the fans reacted accordingly.

I have evidence that Arms Warrior has a high skill cap and is always the “to go to” spec.

73% time people make up 29% of their facts, this is true almost 53% in Academia
