Blizz have made some terrible mistakes; irredeemable ones.
They should have respected that Players love the Lore Characters in WoW, and for many of us this love goes back decades.
They should have realised that their original Lore characters are irreplaceable assets to the game, anchors to hold people’s interest and engagement. Financial power-houses, with the potential to make ongoing fiscal gains.
But they played the Deity, filled with hubris and arrogance they sought to force their playerbase to accept the butchering of these long beloved Lore characters, to forever tarnish what it meant to be Horde or Alliance by their terrible story arcs, and to then think, in their wisdom, that introducing new characters would engender the same love from the playerbase as we had for the characters they so stupidly destroyed.
It doesn’t work like that.
I am very happy to accept and learn to love new characters, but when the original characters have been so terribly written, tortured and desecrated, I just feel resentful.
It would have been better if they had introduced bit characters, and tormented their story lines, while keeping the big money-making, old, beloved characters true to themselves and the original WoW story.
It’s all just so disappointing.
So, while I accept Calia, she just looks like damage control to me. And possibly another convoluted arc to justify the terrible writing that has destroyed the lore of the game I love.
I will probably never forgive the BfA and SL Devs/ writers for what they have done.
