So recently accollon made a video he was one of the few content creators I could find still covering wow and he wasn’t very happy about the new store pet and he put it in not so nice terms
at the end he said he isn’t even subbed anymore so idk why he still makes wow content but in that video he discusses the difference between ion hazzikostas and yoshi p he said that ion is very reclusive and for 9 months he “uttered nary a peep” and yoshi p is giving out I think 25 million$ in free game time because people cant log in due to server issues
and I couldn’t help but agree when was the last time we had something like that from ion or blizzard in general I cant remember maybe you guys can tell me.

Blizzard is scared of interacting with customers outside of venues they can control. They have been for a long time. They barely even interact with the Community Council they recently created. I don’t see anything changing.

Maybe Ions just tired of hearing he should be fired by people that barely play the game

…doesn’t FF also have an in-game store? Why isn’t the video maker raging about that?

True, the arrogance of this current administration is baffling.

Blizzard’s developers have always been arrogant.

Well we havent had q times so theres that.
Also you dont know what restrictions ions facing now with all the lawsuits.
Any communication is probably vetted now.
lastly everyone craps on him when he does communicate so probably isnt chomping at the bit rofl
IDC if i hear from ion, but id like to hear from someone about the direction.
Imo a MCU style here’s the next few years. Course itd also mean they should take and use feedback on that as wel.

What a bunch of BS. He knows exactly why. I’m assuming he’s in the same boat as Bellular. They dislike WoW now and probably don’t play the game anymore, but their WoW content gets way more views than their other stuff. More views equals more money. So, they keep making WoW videos to keep riding that gravy train.
And yes, Yoshi P seems way more cooler and open than Ion.

I don’t mean it as a good thing, I’m just pointing out that this isn’t anything new.

I mean blizzards had so many disasters like diablo immortal warcraft 3 the lawsuit and blitzchung you’d think everything would’ve been vetted a long time ago.

Rofl youd think wouldnt you. Ion does sound like an introvert so i aint gonna harp on him, but like i said someone should be communicating the plan/vision

I don’t actually agree. Something like that would need to come from the developers, and I want the developers fixing the game. Not talking about the game. They already waste far too much time on “interviews”.
Talk is cheap. They need to get more work done.

Just a guess, but December is basically dead for most companies with people burning PTO and projects put on sleep mode until the new year. Will be interesting to see how much engagement the devs have with the council once everyone returns.

Communication is just as important as development and as we’ve seen when they just develop on the fly they create things the community don’t like

Pyromancer’s FF content literally turned his life around. WoW content isn’t drawing views like you think.
They are playing a game they actually love now and making comparisons to a game they used to love is something content creators will do.

and its not like a 20 or 30 minute interview here and there is wasting a whole lot of time
It’s really not. If Ion spent a hundred more hours in front of a camera explaining why he did everything you dislike about the game, would it really make you feel better?
Because it certainly wouldn’t make me feel any better. I don’t care why he did dumb things, I want him to not do dumb things in the future.
