Why we do not see more from Blizzard

This is just my opinion, so read, don’t read, report me, yeah it won’t matter.

As most of us know, with the C-19 spell that hit us all really hard in the pants, and our wallets…
Moving on, Blizzard, like so many other companies in order to comply with government mandates and downright outrage from the people who even thought a company failed to follow said guidelines, did what they could.
Support? Went the way of the Do-Do so as to save money, and preserve their value as a company. It isn’t like they left altogether, like so many other games that got abandoned before in my day. New content is coming about normal for a company the size of Blizzard.
And the real reason I believe the employees are supposedly mass exiting Blizzard now is because they have been told they have to return to their offices and give up their cushy stay at home and still make the same monies jobs and get back to work. It is happening on a rather large scale.
Why go to work, when I can make the same money from my home, and then draw unemployment? Sad thing is, you cant draw the benefits if you quit.
This is coming to an end though, as if anyone who cares to look will admit it.
Will things go back to normal? I believe they will, or as close to normal as we who game here or elsewhere call it.
Don’t believe what I say? Think about it. Try tech support from any major company or even customer service. A lot are still working from home. I do not wish anyone to lose their jobs, but the ride has to end someday.

We will still have those who rage quit, threaten to not re-sub, etc.

And I just killed enough time to get back ingame and have some fun, by choice, even.

I ‘member when we had GM’s.
I ‘member when blues would post weekly.
I ‘member balanced AV’s.

You ‘member ?

The first two, yeah…
The last? I just PvP’d to spend time with my buddies, we would hop on Vent, and go to town. Fun times, no matter if it was balanced or not.

It’s cheaper to automate or outsource customer service.

The quality of the image of a company goes down the toilet, but as long as profits show a net gain every year, that doesn’t matter. Or so they think.

Back in the day I saw GMs in the world and it was magical as a new player- they were like gods to us.

You can even look to Omar when prepatch classic dropped. People loved it. It made the game better.

Now it’s months between brief blue posts. I don’t know what happened, but can only assume classic is in maintenance mode. That makes me sad but at the same time I’m still in the no changes mode so I get why they ignore all the good ideas people have.

I didn’t buy the game way back when because of an image. I bought it because my friends were playing it, and kept on telling me how bad a** it was.
Everyone always has ideas on how to improve game play, and why who ever owns the company is sorry a** folk for not “listening” to them or their ideas. We all had/have a choice here. We can pay our monies and play, or quit paying the monies and find another source of entertainment.
I could be wrong, though…

They know you will still sub no matter what. They don’t have to put in effort because the playerbase puts up with it
