So we should continue to pay for little to zero content because some good people work at blizz and they need a job? Man I wish someone would pay me to have a job that requires me to do next to nothing.

Oof. No it won’t. The game will include more irl politics. Hard pass.

The employees don’t care about the product or the consumer/fan base. Period. They want to milk this for all its worth, make their money and leave. It’s been a couple years of nothing but excuses from these people. They virtue signal and then call their player base a-holes over twitter, then virtue signal some more.

asmongold is not the playerbase…
Not about one guy. It’s about the image they project to the customer.
Fair enough. I personally wouldn’t have tweeted it, even if I thought it were true.
Agreed. At the very minimum don’t post your company’s name in your bio. I mean the people at FF14 may feel the same way about him or other players/streamers, but instead of calling him names they welcomed him personally via Twitter and made sure he was having fun by suspending his hecklers. This is in no way a specific endorsement of FF14 over WoW, but an example of how to treat a customer/fan.
Wishing stuff to fail is a negative and a pathetic way of living. If you hate it then quit it. Don’t reply to this thread and spread your negativity. I don’t really reply on the threads but people like you who wish for someone’s or something’s failure are curse on the society in general. Sorry for using harsh words but it’s just pathetic.
I will never wish for anyones failure.
Don’t misconstrue it as such.
I would like the game to shut down though. It is a stain upon the MMORPG genre, and it prevents actually good MMORPGs from rising.
If Blizz and the developers need to take time to reorganize that is understandable. During that time the game should be free to play, hell might even help establish new players to the game.
Now here is the thing that is going to be so hard to rationalize - the player base largely agrees that WoW at it’s apex was largely made up of sophomoric men who lacked the maturity to understand normal corporate culture and standards. This was held in reverence for a very long time. So you have a bunch of nerds that never had power or prestige getting both - this isn’t an unpredictable result.
Its also not out of the question that many employees who participated in this behavior and culture can be remediated in to a normal, respectful culture that is focused on mutual respect, empathy and kindness. That isn’t easy - the people who were wronged need to forgive, and the people who wronged others need to take responsibility - both need to happen in an atmosphere of healing. Right now it doesn’t look like a healing environment it looks like the wronged are out for blood - legitimate feeling but could easily turn the abused in to the abuser.
Not to make this any more complicated but you also have the player base demanding content and progression. As well as investors demanding earnings. Two sides to the same coin.
Arguably Blizz isn’t going to get better without a lot of time and effort by employees and corporate leadership. If they take the time to get better that risks the longevity of the game. If they dont take the time to get better the studio could implode. This is a hell of a catch 22…
Other option is to move WoW to one of the other Activision studios for an expansion while Blizzard gets its problems addressed.
Not a good time for anyone in the WoW bubble…

What are you talking about man? If it’s stain on genre then please don’t play. Stop spewing your stupidity here. It’s disgusting. Please help your so called “actual good mmorpg” in becoming a better place for other to dwell and live happily. WoW has lot of problems and I agree with most of them but so does most of the other mmorpg’s. I don’t know wish other RPG’s to fail just because I spend more time in WoW and less time on other games.
It does not need my help to do that, it has a thriving community that is quite happy, welcoming the mass exodus from other MMORPGs. The developers’ obvious passion and love for the game they develope, helps it grow and helps keeping people happy.
It is one big problem.
Oh, you are from the final fantasy stuff. I see, I am wasting my time here. I am really happy that you left WoW for FF14 with the attitude you have towards game and life in general 
Man they need all the money they can make to pay the settlement…
You shouldn’t be.
I have played, cared about, and complained in earnest about WoW for years on end.
See where that has brought it? Further down the gutter.
I and many others were not listened to while we still cared deeply… why would I wish for it to be better now?
I only started playing FFXIV in earnest a year ago.

I’m bummed, because I do enjoy playing WOW. That said, to me this expansion is absolute trash. Now that all this other information is coming out about the work environment at the company, I’m not surprised how awful the gameplay has become.
I still enjoy doing older content, but Shadowlands (in my opinion) is an absolute dumpster fire that is not entertaining at all. By the looks of my friends list and who bothers to log on in my guild, I’m not the only one.
If it weren’t for older content, I would definitely cancel my subscription.
Well I mean there’s ocean fishing, gardening for your house, the gold saucer, and all these fun mini games after you’re done with everything and just wanna chill. WoW has none of these things. It’d be nice to implement more fun mini games that are evergreen and not just 1 expansion features and systems.
If you like those things that’s great! If they could implement systems like that without taking away from other systems that’s be cool
I just don’t know if they could, so it remains to be seen.
Yeah I’d rather not have things that are subtracted. Too much of that over the past few expansions.
Yea, and FF has shown that things for the “hardcore” are the first things they cut if they have to cut something, sooo…
I worry. As much as I’d love more things for people to do outside of what I do, I worry about my things being cut down.
