As long as I’ve been playing, since March just before MOP, it’s been pretty common for people to blame others’ ability to play and telling them to “get gud” or commenting on how bad their DPS is when someone mentions an NPC mechanics issue or some other bug. It doesn’t matter that they know nothing about how the person plays or what their DPS is. This is their reason.
It also doesn’t matter that Brann pulling is a widely reported mechanics issue and a bug. I even posted a link to a Wowhead article about how bad Brann is and someone said “It reads very much so like an opinion piece of someone who is upset that a Delve went awry and… that’s kinda it.” They didn’t check to see who wrote the article. It was written by Wowhead News Manager Jezartroz who, as it states in their Bio:
Jezartroz (aka Jez) has written over 250 guides and more than a thousand news articles for Wowhead in every division, from Retail to Diablo 4, and Classic of all flavors. Starting as a Professions writer for Retail World of Warcraft in 2022, she has since branched out to other games under the Activision-Blizzard umbrella and beyond. While she has played World of Warcraft since Vanilla, her very first video game was Diablo 2 - and the rest is history.
Jez also occasionally (as time permits) assists as a contributor for the All The Things addon, and advocates for collectors of all kinds. No matter the game, stealth-archetype characters are her go-to - but in WoW, Jez feeds that need via maining a Druid (cat stealth is valid too!)."
Yea, someone who wrote “an opinion piece of someone who is upset that a Delve went awry” I can’t help wondering if the person who put down that Wowhead article turns to that site for tips with the game and has trusted Jezartroz advice and tips without knowing it. Anyway, I often spend hours researching stuff online before I speak, so what do I know…
Honestly, I was never asking for advice or help. I only wanted to state something that has been happening with a lot of people in hopes that Blizzard will notice and hopefully do something about it. Sadly everyone insists that I am asking for advice which they give more than they ask what’s going on. Which is why I stopped responding for a bit.
