What's your favorite WoW conspiracy theory?

Just curious. I love reading all of them on reddit constantly.

My favorite is the newest:

They announced 3 expansions at once because Microsoft was buying the company and the WoW team wanted to ensure they had a job for another 6 years, or turn Microsoft into a tyrant who goes back on a companies promise of content.

What’s yours?

My favorite conspiracy theory about WoW is that it’s a dying game

Puts on tin foil hat.

I think they break professions on purpose. They give their homies the heads up that Vellums are going down or that Azureweave can be duplicated so that said homies can make money.

I once read a story about some dev who grinded achievements when they came out, bet everyone he had the most points, and only got beat out by the dude who programmed the achievement points. That is the basis of my theory. Devs can manipulate whatever they work on to their or their homie’s benefit and these hyperspecific economic disruptions seem… off.

Oh, and the dragonshard duplication too.

Puts tin foil hat away.

The constant “sales” are a good indicator the current expansion didn’t sell too well behind the scenes, and DF has had “sales” left and right :joy:

From what I remember, DF was on sale for “50% off” mere months after release, and subsequent “sales” were unusually (…suspiciously?) frequent - seemed to be a flashsale every 2 months or so

For context, in previous expansions having a “50% off sale” on the current expansion was like “a rare treat” and it was like a once-a-year thing… having them happen every 2-3 months definitely feels unprecedented :flushed:

Asmongold should be in the Community Council.

:bomb:

They attempted to make material nodes dangerous and made dragonriding a mini game to prevent bots from ruining the crafting faction. :thinking:

They asked for conspiracy theories, not trolling attempts

Ironically, him being on the Community Council might actually cause some changes/player requests to be added to the game :rofl:… in contrast to the “mere mortal” Community Council’ers that just get ignored/pissing in the wind

Due to his popularity and “streamer privilege” and such, the devs would be backed into a corner of sorts… they would be “forced” to write Blue-posts in any feedback threads he posts just due to the sheer # of eyeballs/viewers following him around

For example, if he was in there and made a post requesting account-wide reputation I bet they would just add it as a quick hotfix the next Tuesday rather than waiting til the next expansion

Back when the CC was first invented, some players wanted Asmongold to join. I don’t know if the thread still exists, but previous CC members stated there were HUNDREDS of messages stating just that.

I put that bomb there for a reason, and you immediately primed it.

Yes, because you were trying to troll

Says the guy with “Warthin” as a username.

I haven’t watched the guy but what are his ideas? :robot::ear:

You could try looking in the same exact thread that was started a week ago:

I’ve only heard rumors that Asmongold wanted to angle the way Mythic+ was being delivered. Also, when he had that interview with Ion, they were discussing bringing master loot back.

But… well, I have yet to see it.

Yeah, I knew this was a duplicate thread before even clicking into it, but meh - front page is slow today

So your idea was that a guy you don’t watch and whose ideas you don’t know should be on the CC because…why? Because you’re trolling?

Again, you have “Warthin” as a username.

Yeah, and? Got anything else or just clinging to that thinking it means I’m the troll and you aren’t?

Well, you have “Warthin” as a username. :clap:

Hey I’d believe that one, I mean we did see a big shortage of those farming bots when Dragonriding was the only way to find the really good nodes…now we got normal flight back and the bots are slowly creeping back
