I quit the game in Legion because there was an overwhelming sense that there was a disconnect between the game blizzard wanted to make and the game that players wanted to play.
It was incredibly frustrating that blizzard carried themselves with an air of infallibility when it was so clear that they were confidently wrong on so many issues.
When it was announced that pvp vendors were returning in SL, I got a spark to return to the game. This was something players were asking for forever, and this might be proof that Blizzard is listening.
Moreso than interesting content, I came back because I thought the attitude at HQ was shifting. The game itself was less important than being respected as a customer. Like a battered wife, I thought, maybe this time will be different.
But almost a year into shadowlands, it’s clear that is not the case. The company is still arrogant, and confidently holding their ground on losing issues. It’s still Blizzard vs. the players.
What would it take for me to come back? A shift in attitude; a clean sweep of leadership; and a return to Blizzard’s roots of ensured quality and passion for the game we all love.

Can I have your stuff. I’ll hold it for when you come back again.
I promise.
These unoriginal replies, which happen on every thread, are not helpful and stand in the way of customer feedback and meaningful change. Grow up.

You mean like these original attention threads you made “Hey so all of you know why I came back here is why. And here is why I am leaving again”. How about just come and go without needing the forum attention?
I could care less about attention. Blizzard’s forum for leaving feedback is insufficient and this is the best way to bring attention to a problem.

Blizzard made it clear months ago that they actively solicit feedback from private forums, and pay virtually no attention to these.
That aside, few in the world would consider “purge your leadership” to be useful feedback outside extreme controversies like the current one.
So, yeah, deaf ears and all. I’ll still take your stuff, but I’m afraid it will stink of your smugness. So keep it.
I’m pretty much in the same boat. I came back just a few days before the scandal hit, and I was already disappointed by the direction the lore was taking (I had just caught up since I left in Legion. Oh God…)
But yeah, I renewed my sub for one month before all this…I already cancelled. Just gonna enjoy my time left in the game, have some arguments with forum trolls, and dip.

Oooof. That one hurts…and I resonate with this. I quite after Cata…and I’ve come back to a hot mess. I’m tired, haggard, and beaten… I’ve unsubbed today and hope for meaningful change. I wish you all the best on your next adventures what ever they are!
