Besides the forums and wowhead, reddit was a popular place to go to for WoW topics including help with info
And honestly this protest doesn’t help anyone, the users that browsed there are annoyed and will search elsewhere
And the mods who think they “own” the subreddit will get replaced by Reddit officials
No one wins
Wowhead comment section usually has some real good info in it if you’re stuck.
I just saw that part oops ._.’
It’s just annoying cause reddit was a place for helpful info, sometimes more helpful than forums imo
It’s frustrating cause you have mods think they know better and make the whole community suffer for it
seems pointless to have info spread all over the place
every time i resorted to googling something wow related, if google pointed me towards reddit, it was just a question with no answers.
The wow subreddit?
For information?
I have never once gotten sound advice off of anything I’ve read on Reddit. But I also don’t use Reddit. I Google search if I can’t find what I need on Wowhead.
Someone made a spreadsheet for when the next goblin spawned if anyone didn’t want to use weak auras
It was helpful
WoW forums have not been helpful in the last few years. Lots of trolling and meaningless threads. I only just started posting a little here and there but often find myself responding to a thread, then end up discarding the response because the topic have been derailed.
I didn’t get that from Reddit.
this info was on the front page of wowhead
about 13 years ago i frequented a WoW forum over at DSLreports, which got past the work network’s content filter for “gaming”. it was never a busy subforum, and these days i use that site for ping and speed tests
There are all kinds of subforums in this very forum with people that help others. There’s CS, for players to help other players, UI and Macros where players adept in those help others, etc. Take a look around.
Create a new wow subreddit and make it public. Surprised no one has done it yet.
So blizzard protests a company trying to charge its users more money???
So hypocritical if its true
Blizzard didn’t protest anything. /r/wow is not owned or ran by Blizzard employees, but by volunteers and fans of WoW.
Oh well thats a different thing then. Companies have a right to make money.
Who cares? Its a non issue.
It’s a bit more then just companies wanting to make more money, which I agree a company should find any and all ways to be profitable.
I’ll link the article here if you want to read a bit more on what’s going on.
But indefinitely doesn’t solve anything
You’re pissing off the community
And the reddit mods who think they know better will be replaced by Reddit officials
I’m not agreeing or disagreeing with what is going on, just providing more information.
Reddit themselves offered a WoW discord server for information needs.
My guess would be that, or for more specifics, the various class discords.
