There's no end to it

Sorry, but this was absolutely not okay to have in the game anymore:

“Homogenized? No way, I like the ladies.”

Blizz is like…hmmm how can we reduce the game to just one server

Look I get that that one offended people. I could even be persuaded that ones like that shouldn’t be around.

At the end of the day, it’s about boundaries. I definitely don’t think every flirt and joke on that list needed to be removed. They’re going overboard.

“Nice pants, what’s the drop rate?” Purely juvenile. Not something I’d say. But it is funny, and I don’t think it was harming much of anything.

The Lovecraft old gods are just racism personified as evil cosmic entities.

I understand where you’re coming from, but the employees believed otherwise. I can pretty much guarantee you that all of the ones being removed were most likely jokes around the office that were consistently used. That’s how it was at the gaming company I did some writing for back in the day. The little jokes they had in the game were actually part of the working environment.

Now, I’m old, so these things don’t much bother me. I’m from the generation where they were hilarious and when people weren’t as sensitive to such things. But I also understand that things change and those jokes around the office can make a very uncomfortable environment.

I agree with everything you said as well as the spirit of your argument. Blizzard is morally bankrupt and I hope they go financially as well.

Not sure what hole you pulled that idea out of, but as HP was himself known for being racist its obviously not fact.

This just isn’t factual.

The people upset about the changes should either buckle up for the ride or maybe take some time off, imo.
Meanwhile I’m enjoying the conniption fits they’re throwing. :popcorn:

Seems a fair assumption. But w/e.

“According to Lovecraft, all of reality is merely a part of Azathoth’s dream, unknowingly created by itself.”
“Azathoth awakens, all things will end, once and for all, and all will once again be Azathoth”

It sounds like Azeroth…and she is sleeping

Don’t get me wrong his writing is some of the best cosmic horror, but the man frowned on anyone that wasn’t Anglo-Saxon, so I doubt he added metaphors for racism in his writing.

Yep… I’m out. To hell with this game and the puritans ruining it. Sub runs out in 22 days and they won’t be seeing another dime from me.

Pick a low to med pop server in New World, drop that $40 and actually have your time and wallet respected for once!

Yeah, no, trusting Amazon to be any better than Blizzard is a fools errand.

I expect to see more of these as they continue to ignore their player base to make these kneejerk changes.

If the game is made less enjoyable by the removal of a few lines of irrelevant dialogue, inappropriate dialogue, the snowflake might just be YOU.

I expect to see more of those as people continue making new alts to make them on.

Nobody actually quits over stupid political stands.

You think Amazon respects people and their wallets?

Thanks, I needed a good laugh.

Oh, they respect the wallets. And they see people as walking wallets, so maybe that’s a form or respect?
