For this event to be exploiting FOMO, it would have to be attempting to extract cash from you.

That’s not how a psychological phenomenon works. No definition even has that in it. And it started as a concept from social media. So what are you on about?

[Thelei-stormrage]

I think it is absolutely hilarious… you guys are so twisted into knots. Next you’re going to tell me you’re losing sleep over it. #snort

There is an actual definition that was linked to you earlier. You just want to ignore it so you can keep changing what you think it means.

Even with his backwards definition, it applies, as I said here:

@Maizou-proudmoore

Hi, you seem to be confused. Let me enlighten you:

What do you think this does to people who aren’t currently subbed by don’t want to MISS OUT on the limited time content?

GASP.

They have already addressed the current event

Hearthstone's 10th Anniversary Event Updates

With hotfixes coming soon, we’re making the following adjustments to the Hearthstone’s 10th Anniversary Event: Fixed a bug where it was possible to complete the Whizbang encounter and not receive Trading Post credit for it. Players can now collect missing cards by using the Hearthstone Gameboard toy to defeat others in a friendly game. It will continue to drop cards after the event ends. The event duration has been extended by 96 hours, and is now scheduled to end on Friday, March 22. For the …

The wikipedia article that was vague enough to be applied to every aspect of life or this game if you really wanted to?

Hell, we might as well call every new season FOMO since you may miss out on the experience of the first week of a raid.

Also, if I think the sky is blue, but someone else is colorblind and says it’s grey, that doesn’t change the fact the sky is blue, but to each person, they are still correct to themselves. You are the one who sees it as grey in this case, if that wasn’t obvious.

Objectively speaking, the sky is clear and colorless… light refracting through the dust and other particles in it gives it color based on what wavelengths of color are blocked out and at what angles. Same with cup half empty or full philosophy… the cup is actually always full, because it has air in it and other stuff. Nobody ever seems to specify water or other liquids… therefore, glass is always full.

Also ever notice the “No shoes, No shirt, no service” signs don’t mention underwear or even pants? Arguably THE most necessary articles of clothing for BOTH male and female?

I don’t get the FOMO comments. Most things in WoW are limited time. AOTC, CE, KSM, all limited time. You want to earn achievements in game you have to play the game.

[Titanspite-stormrage]

thanks for having common sense

wow is filled with limited time stuff

people arent complainin about those

[Rankin-shandris (Rankin)]

@Titanspite-stormrage

people arent complainin about those

Oh man, this must be your first day on the forums.

@Maizou-proudmoore

And yet you have made MULTIPLE posts in this thread telling people there’s no FOMO because you don’t feel it.

No, thats not what i have said in any of my posts actually, i have never said that ITS IN FACT NOT FOMO BECAUSE I DONT FEEL IT as a blanket statement like you have in the other direction. what i said multiple times, is that FOMO is a personal feeling, and every1 feels different things(you basically agreed to this because you said the same thing) and then i said that I PERSONALLY doesnt feel FOMO, did you notice how i used the word personally there, to not dictate and decide what other people feel ?

@Maizou-proudmoore

Also, if I think the sky is blue, but someone else is colorblind and says it’s grey, that doesn’t change the fact the sky is blue, but to each person, they are still correct to themselves. You are the one who sees it as grey in this case, if that wasn’t obvious.

bad comparison again, makes 0 sense to bring in a minor disability.

[Lorelaî-stormrage]

I think it’s more so that Blizzard hasn’t said when the event ends, so FOMO kicks in.

Blizzard could easily tell us that, but they’re choosing not to, knowing it will contribute to FOMO.

[Titanspite-stormrage]

or people are blowing it wildly out of proportion

[Sendryn-sentinels]

@Rilota-moon-guard

i distinctly recall you complaining about how a TIME LIMITED event had rng… why would you care about that unless you feared MISSING OUT.

Wow. You really didn’t read what I wrote to you, considering I covered that. In my replies to you AND to others.

Stop twisting stuff and please read what I said.

Edited to add what you somehow missed:

@Sendryn-sentinels

Not all players will feel that way. Some will, some won’t. So we cannot say that the event itself is a psychological phenomenon. Just that some are going to feel that sense of “FOMO.” Which I understand, because I got a small taste of it during the current event.

@Sendryn-sentinels

@Kentaurus-turalyon

I guess my brain just makes them one in the same because they are so intrinsically tied together.

Which is understandable. Because for some people, those events are going to cause FOMO for every single one. Because that’s just how things are for some people.

I don’t get that all the time, just sometimes. Some people feel that all the time.

There’s nothing wrong with it, unless it starts affecting real life in a negative way.

I feel for those who get like that all the time. I really do.

@Sendryn-sentinels

@Kentaurus-turalyon

Yeah, it largely depends on whether I actually want the limited time items or not. If I don’t, I don’t care. If I do, I care. A lot.

Exactly. And I was like that with this current event. So yeah, I get it.

@Kentaurus-turalyon

I also don’t like companies preying on that part of the human brain.

Marketing does tend to take things to the extreme.

[Cäpslöck-proudmoore]

If you’re able to accept that there will exist an item you want, but do not have, nothing is FOMO anymore.

[Karvalli-proudmoore]

I’m mad at Blizzard for making expansions FOMO. They should all last forever. Just a greedy cash grab that I have to actually play the game to experience the content.

[Veidmann-zuljin]

Some people aren’t happy unless they are complaining .

If it sucks it sucks but if it turns out to be something really cool then great.

[Yveni-moon-guard]

I like this in a “there is no spoon” kind of way.
