Ariel isn’t anything but to the point, I don’t think its fair to call hostile, and entirely depending on the situation of which all situations I can’t comment on. I don’t think Ariels being hostile to anyone right now, Ariel flat out told me my warlock was the ugliest character they ever saw because I gave him golden eyes and I know meant no harm about it, I actually found it funny and still bring it up sometimes because it makes me laugh because I know thats just Ariel.
It’s fine to share when it benefits you. Got it.
Because I generally don’t engage in conversations I don’t want to be apart of.
Asking for explanations is not “being condescending”. I´m literally picking stuff as it has been implemented in the game already.
I´m just trying to make you see where did my arguments came from. Why saying “jelwerly is culturally meaningful” is NOT true as far as WoW is concerned -heck, the violations done by the devs are so severe the Orcs ended up with the actual original tattoos Alleria used to have in WC2. And that is just ONE example-.
In a way, the jewely being NOT meaningful is good cause then asking for it is indeed fair game for everybody, not merely by some races at random. everybody deserves to get their own earrings et al, this is not culturally representative of any race as hair colors weren´t either.
When it’s your pal they are “just being themself” when it’s not your pal “OMG SO RUDE HOW COULD THEY SAY THIS TO ME ): ): ):”
Then it’s a different standard if you see the same behavior or posts or tones and engage with others based on behavior or posts or tone is it not?
It really doesn’t matter and we can move on but that’s why I found your statement towards me to ring hollow on the topic of Farstrider tattoos / comparing it to this attempt to steal the NB visual theme too.
I mean, the ultimate confusion is that you classify jewelry differently while I’m classifying jewelry with the way Blizzard has implemented it. Things like the features and what not you’ve suggested is something I was classifying as jewelry.
Which is another issue with the current UI.
I can apply common sense, I know people who I don’t always agree with or don’t even like mean no harm with statements they say, and I can tell when they mean harm with statements they say, it has nothing to do with anything.
I’m gonna press X to doubt on that one fam.
I mean, Moon could engage with my tomorrow on an idea she had for Draenei and I would be all about it. I just have conversations with individuals
I just don’t’ think you understand what I am saying on the Farstrider stuff at all. I don’t think you’re reading my statements correctly.
Fair enough, as Imentioned for me the precious metal stuff IS jewerly. Feathers, flowers, etc. is more in the realm of “decorations”, and those DO represent some measure of cultural background.
The current UI is a crime againt humanity. The devs don´t even have an actually homogenized classification to separate any new thing they put on the toons.
You’re crazy if you think the Nightborne having references to the moon, which appear all over Suramar, is infringing on an Night Elf exclusive aesthetic, especially when you consider how different visually it’s represented in the Nightborne.
The Night Elves don’t own the moon, but the Nightborne absolutely own the Highborne aesthetic. That’s the difference.
Yeah this is the confusion as those are categorized together to me due to how Blizzard has handled it.
I think you missed my point.
Because you could engage with me on the similarities on Dranei being shafted and how I feel that about BEs and my support for core races to get actual impactful themes and I’d be all about it too? So idk what you’re saying because what I was previously saying is you’ve commented on or argued points against people you don’t normally agree with but ignore those similar points or identical behavior from people you claim “you just don’t see” despite you’re often seen agreeing and getting along?
Which again is fine I just find it to be a different set of standards so your pointed comment towards me I felt rang hollow based on that set of double standards I saw.
Because I hate ARs in general and have pointed out how they have shafted their base race. My issue is that you seem to think that this is something that has only effected BEs. Which my point in that engagement was that no, Draenei have also suffered.
I mean, I used to be on fine terms with a few folks until they went full hostile for some reason one day
Nope. Night elves will eventually get HB stuff, and you will have to deal with it.
I’m not arguing that I find common cause there for core races to be owed better work. What I take issue is Dranei don’t have their AR on the opposite fraction so it doesn’t quite hit the same to me. And BE/VEs are the only copied model in that regard crossing faction lines.
Too bad for that because I would be pretty happy that I could play my favorite race on both factions.
I’m not really going to make it a pissing contest on who got hit more, but as a Draenei fan, LFD was a massive blow to me. Faction line doesn’t really matter to me, the fact that LFD got things that I had been wanting for my Draenei for years hit me hard.
Blizzard to put it nicely didn´t handled nothing.
The whole system is an ode to disorganization.
I´d loved to get *meaningful" jewerly like claw of the Talon esque feathers ffs… at least new players would try to find out the “pretty bird” that provided the assets, and that IS good as far as enticing players to attach to the lore and the game and the races is concerned.
The stuff we got depressed me.
Heck, if any race should get the monopoly on crystal aesthetics, that´s the draenei. You guys literally live in buildings made of crystals or something similar to it.
I mean I saw some pretty aggressively provocative posts aimed at Horde players you either agreed with or made, all the while allowing Alliance posts to have much more leeway with a sense of victim complex which is fine but that may be why people were hostile?
