Iā¦I have to go now. I never thought I would care this much about a virtual stranger losing their job.
Iām sure Iāll get over it, but ā¦Goddam Iām pissed right now.

With all the crud going on, I have never felt more pressed to abandon the effort.
But Iām a New York Knicks AND New York Jets fan.
I have a well of resolve dug in from YEARS of floundering in mediocrity, with no regard to reality or reason.
So, in spite of the grim tides foreshadowed by todayā¦I press on.
Revert the permissions.

Iām not sure why I bother any more. Itās obvious Blizzard is imploding, and they clearly have other things on their minds than making an old video game work better.
But, just in case Iām totally wrong, hereās another post from August with some guild improvement ideas:
Yeah, yeah, dead horse, wasting our time, whatever. Iām going to keep doing this and think of it as my memorial to Ythisens and the other Blizzard employees who actually cared about WoW.

Now that the only CMs left are ānever post, always insult the communityā Loreā¦ and Bornakkā¦ we can officially kiss any chance of a response goodbye. The promises to communicate better resulted in the CMs getting firedā¦ so, we have to realize weāll get even less communication than what we had been seeingā¦

I run a social media group for guild and raid leaders. No one likes the new permissions or UI. Some have shrugged their shoulders and decided this is the New Normal and are rolling with it. Most are attempting to communicate with Blizzard by various means (here, Twitter, Reddit, etc) about what they dislike and why.
Given the big picture of how guilds have been treated over the last few expansions, the layoffs, and general direction of Activision/Blizzard, I think itās time to start thinking of Plan B that does not involve WoW.

This makes me chuckle because, well, you know, someone else insists we in this thread are the only ones who hate this change (and that there are only 5 of us). I somehow find you more believable.
This makes me sad, but I canāt say I blame you. I havenāt been able to bring myself to log on for a couple daysāand thatās not normal for me. I just feel like no one in charge at Blizzard cares about WoW at all anymore, and thereās no hope of a fix for our ālittleā problem.
The guild permissions arenāt the only thing wrong, but they seem like such an easy fixājust make an āadvancedā tab with the permissions separated out the way they used to be. If Blizz canāt even be bothered with that, Iām afraid I have to conclude theyāre done with WOW (beyond collecting our sub money and releasing cash shop mounts).

Still doing my read-through even as the world (of warcraft) crumbles around us.
Here are some great ideas Venjin came up with and listed back in August:
If a miracle happens and Blizz decides WoW is worth their effort again, maybe theyāll take a look at some of these ideas. Number 6, of course, is the one weāll be happy to get even if we canāt have any of the rest.

Oh no the thread died WAIT no it didnāt.
Seems like the care that used to go into WoW is waning, though. Sincerely hope they arenāt looking to strangulate it and milk subs/shop mounts, but not a lot points to any other conclusion. Pretty sad and shortsighted to let the flagship sink and expect the brand name to give oomph to a mercurial mobile/esports market when the olā trusty plowhorse could rake it in for the forseeable future if theyād polish it even half as much as MoP or Legionā¦
Eh, I do have ESO on the back burner whenever enough of my friends quit. I wonder if Rift is still around, they had bards!

Iām giving up guys. It just seems so impossible to get any real change, despite how many posts I put up. Nothing we say is going to make a difference.
We can holler all we want, but the fact remains:
James Dolan still owns the Knicks and until that changes, weāre screwed.
Waitā¦
Oh crap, wrong forum!
Revert the guild officer permissions to their pre-BfA functionality.

If after nearly a year and 2,800 posts they wonāt give you guys any sort of information then itās safe to say they donāt care what any of you have to say anyway.
Sometimes itās best to just walk away.
Over half the player base has done just that.

Please revert the guild permissions.
It would be awesome.
Also
Iām tempted to hunt down all my songs in this thread and embed youtube links to the originals in the posts lol.

Iād be very surprised if half the player base is still here compared to what BfA started with, which is probably why actually fixing anything isnāt a concern.

Iām in favor of this. 
I can only quote posts. Contrary to what a certain other poster claims, I havenāt been working on getting my forum status up. For one thing, you have to read something like 500 different topics, and I pretty much just stick to this one.
But I think it would be really cool to have the music to go with your songs, Venj.

Hehā¦are there 500 topics?
Thereās this, High Elves, Raider-Oās, Titanforge Has Ruin All the Things, Flightfinder, and Classic. No one will ever level up!
