The /spit dilemma regarding store mounts

True.

True.

False.

He can take control by not egging on his rabid fan base to do it in the first place. He made the choice so there is no reason in trying to defend something he did.

He does it because he knows exactly what his fans will do. He loves giving them what they want so they in turn give him what he wants… which is money and attention.

Even bad attention is a good thing in a streamers book.

Regardless of the effect on the game, any extra income gained is a good thing for wow as it shows it’s still profitable. When games get to a point that the profit no longer matters it becomes hero of the storms/d3 level of bad.

Well it’s a teen game, which is still considered somewhat a kid. However, I do agree that being spit on in a game is no big deal. I am against the mob spam mentality though and would consider that harassment as it’s interfering with your normal chat functions.

If I worked for the company I’d be a little peeved at a big streamer telling their rabid fans to go out and harass paying customers because they bought things from the shop.

Be like having a mob outside a grocery store harassing your paying customers while on your property as they head to their vehicle. Personally, I believe mob harassment for spending your own money the way you want should be punishable with suspensions.

But I don’t work for them and I imagine it’s pretty low on the list of things they care about. I however, would view it differently if people who decided to throw some extra disposable income into my business was being harassed by others who spend less simply because some sad excuse for a man told them to.

Better than staying silent over the parasite the game has, MTX are a cancer and are ruining every single game they are in

I agree with you. I just don’t care that much. I can’t be bothered to care about this fella’s “power” whilst living in the real world with real issues. I play WoW to relax and post here during downtime. I don’t need another crusade currently, but you have my support.

What do you expect Blizzard to do about that though? They don’t own or control twitch. They cant control the lemmings and kids who worship him.

He literally streamed this week, saying “Guys, you should spit on store mount buyers and walk away without saying a word”.

I was talking about that drama with the Tae-whatever guy, about his fans harassing him or something

No, its really not. I dont care what stupid thing Blizzard does, nothing hurts games more then the playerbase.

How so? I’m curious.

I’m probably a moron here, but what is MTX?

Microtransactions… I work in the health care field and thought he was talking about Methotrexate :joy: I had to look it up.

Yeah I conflated the Tali thing with the store mount spitting issue in a bid to talk about responsibility and community positivity in general. I understand if the issues together were confusing.

Microtransaction.

Filthy word in the gaming industry so it’s been shortened to MTX to trigger less people who are shocked by businesses wanting to make more money.

Well lets look at one of the most recent victims

Wolfestein

The most recent entry Youngblood

A complete disaster with a lot of bugs really, REALLY poor writing.

First patch the game has… fixing MTX.

The game is build around in a way that encourages the use of them, theres and XP boost and such, and considering how awful is to solo the game, said things are almost a must

(If you wonder what i mean the AI companion is worse than the one form RE5)

Thanks to you and Aphizora (sp?)

I dont even know what that is ._.

LOL!!! Oh please, go ahead, emote spit all over me. I mean . . . it does absolutely nothing to me and makes you look like a jerk who takes an old MMO way too seriously.

Do the sheeple who follow whoever this is actually do what he says? Because that is just so pathetic that I can’t even.

Anyone who watches that particular streamer is a lost cause. Appealing to their sense of decency is pointless.

They are mindless drones who need a leader that will stroke their worst instincts. Nothing more.

All you can do is just ignore them. Do your thing. They get joy from causing misery to others. So dont give them that joy.

Im so confused right now-we are talking about wow right?

When someone spits on me, I return a /fart, /pick and /drool.

I have never received a return emote after that.

I will never get tired of slamming out scrubs gifs.

Haters gonna hate!
