Will Blizzard Give People Who Already Own Big Love Rocket Compensation For Name Change

Community General Discussion

Some might think it’s not a big deal. But it certainly is to me. For example, if “Invicible” was named “Dead Horse” I’d care way less about the mount. “Invincible” has a cool connection to the Lich King, being the mount that Arthas rode in life and the mount he rose from the dead after he became the lich king. “Dead Horse” has no such connection and is way lamer. Mount names matter, “Big Love Rocket” is much the same, it added some background flavor and further pointed out the eccentricities of the apothecary that makes love potions. “x-45 Heartbreaker” diminishes it. Instead of a name given by an eccentric apothecary and mad genius, it just sounds like it was made by some random goblin or gnome. Will you be giving the people that already had the mount compensation.

P.S. I have no personal horse in this race because I don’t even own the mount, so I’m not looking for personal gain. I just think it’s a reasonable thing to request considering it diminishes the mount.

I suspect that you will discover the sun still rises tomorrow, and you’ll get over it.

What, like give them their time back?

Anyone who doesn’t like the mount after the (idiotic and unnecessary) name change is welcome to give it to me.

Gold, a pet maybe. Anything, something small is fine but something at least for the diminishment of the mount.

I’m so glad I never farmed this mount. Lupercalia (Valentine’s Day) is my birthday, so I never did annoying stuff around then.

Worked out. Man, I would be livid.

I would actually cancel over this if I had the mount.

Never thought I’d be relieved that I never got a certain drop.

Crazy world.

They crapped out a lame change to waterstrider to appease the “its too hard to fish” crowd…why would this be any different?

I don’t know about “people” per se, but the OP and I sure do.

Yes we do care, as a owner of over 533 mounts some of us do care…leave our collection alone and the names alone…

And I am still Livid at Blizzard for that change even today still…I and others worked our butts off to get those mounts just for simple fact they could walk on water.

Compensation?

What sort of compensation could be commensurate?

The same could also be said about the dullards who are offended by it.

You’ve performed this action too many times. Please wait 32 minutes before trying again.

Someone remind me to report this trolling in half hour.

It’s really more like if Invincible was renamed to Unbreakable. Oh nooooo, the word is different.

But what if they went back and retconned that Arthas’s horse was always named Unbreakable? What then?

You’re right, the name that you just made up for the specific purposes of it sounding lame sounds lame. Crazy how that works.

…is there some kind of alternate reality where rockets have anything to do with apothecaries?

How does “Big Love Rocket” sound like it was made by a genius? Or even anyone particularly skilled at chemistry? “X-45 Heartbreaker” at least sounds like a scientific experiment, that would actually make it more in-character for an apothecary.

These bullies won’t last. Their wokeness is unsustainable as is the fairytale world they are living in.

Blizzard is caving because of angry social media mobs, and they are trying not to bleed money.

I guarantee you 90% of them disagree but will never say so because a bunch of freaks will wind up in your driveway with picket signs and threatening the lives of your kids.
