Look, a lot of things are going on right now, and Blizzard feels they need to act fast, but you are not acting in the correct direction. You are literally reacting like Don Quixote at a windmill.
The issue you have was “in house” not Paintings in the Game, nor the name of a mount, or the title of an NPC. If anything your knee jerk reactions you have done in the past 2-3 weeks are in fact doing more harm then good. A painting has Cleavage, or a woman was painted in her small clothes, changing these does nothing more than enforce the concept that women should be ashamed of their Bodies, and hiding the fact that people like skimpy, and people you hire, could be closet pervs. So what, this is life.
We get it, you want to make changes that let the player base understand that you know there is an issue, and you want to fix it. Unfortunately you are just blindly stabbing in the dark and hoping that something works. Changing the “The Big Love Rocket” to “X-45 Heartbreaker” does literally nothing to those people who felt they were abused by some “cubical creepers”. All this is, is a complete 180 degree change in direction, when only 30 degrees is needed.
The change in the paintings only furthers the notion that women should be ashamed of their bodies. If this is the case, Why do Male characters get to walk around topless. This isn’t a case of “what’s good for the goose is good for the gander”, you are seriously making the wrong changes to make yourself look better in the public eye. As an example, you are changing the name of “Twin Consorts” to “Twin Empyreans”. This fact alone shows that you don’t even know what a “consort” is, and assume it is a Concubine or Prostitute. Consort merely mean “Husband or Wife of a Ruler”. I think Devs need to keep a basic Paper Merriam Webster dictionary on their desks.
Look I’ve been playing World of Warcraft non-stop since TBC, no breaks, no hiatus, and this is the first time I felt that you need to be told, “You are doing this wrong.”
Do I expect special treatment because I’ve been a loyal customer… no, not in the slightest.
Do I expect I get banned from the forums, could be, but hope not.
Those of us who vocally, and public, complain do it because we love this game, not because we hope to see it fail. We complain, because we care about this thing we’ve invested Years into, and we don’t want some random person hired 3 weeks ago, who thinks they know what we want, to force things that serve no purpose other than to wipe the history clean, upon us.
