Do they? They seem pretty deaf to the player base. Only way I know how that they will listen is with the wallet. If they don’t listen to GD forums, Facebook, Twitter and ingame suggestions then they will listen to lack of money.
Money talks. Stop censoring the game. Undo name change on rocket.
What is funny now the The Love rocket is owned by 3% of the profiles as listed on Wowhead…but guess what The Magic Rooster Egg is only owned by 2% of profiles and I have the Magic Rooster Egg mount…so my Rooster is more rare then Love Rocket which I think is cool.
Yes, the devs do read bug/suggestion/feedback sent from within the game.
When you “talk” with your wallet though, you’re not talking to the devs. You’re talking to Bobby Kotick. What he takes away from that discussion though is, “Huh, less money is incoming. Guess we need to lay off a bunch more people so I can make sure I get my billion-dollar bonus this year.”
And yes, that fact is HATEFUL and makes it really difficult for us as consumers to be heard but until there is some form of regulation which limits the amounts CEOs can suck out of a company at the expense of the employees, products & work environments, it’s something we have to be really aware of when deciding whether or not to boycott something.
Is a TCG item and not available in-game like the Love Rocket is. They’re not really comparable because of that but lucky YOU for being lucky in the TCG! All I ever got were… the same stupid cards over & over again LOL!
Agreed, since it had a different model than the 100% Brewfest Ram. There was also a 60% Brewfest Kodo which should be brought back.
Wasn’t that the mount granted for ringing the gong? Sadly, only ONE (The Chosen One?) player per server got that bad boy.
Because, as the item description states, the boss who drops it put in blood and sweat to gift it to an unrequited love. It’s nothing to him now but a reminder of that time
I will hazard a guess here that the issues female employees have with the culture at the Blizz workplace is not really related to the trivial changes to the in game vaguely suggestive items like the rocket and the portrait of a less than fully clad human female. It appears to me that this sort of thing is a mockery of the real complaints employees have about the treatment of women in the workplace. “Ohh look, we changed the name from Love Rocket to Heartbreaker, see we do respect women.” Perhaps it should have been the “Let’s just be Friends Rocket.” I appologize if this observation is incorrect and some of the ingame sexism is a real problem. I’d actually like to know if I am off target on this issue should anyone still care enough about it to reply.
They should lower the drop rate of all the excessively rare mounts to 1:1000 (still really rare!) and put in an account-wide bad luck protection that means if you haven’t got it on attempt 1000 you’re guaranteed on attempt 1001.
There should be no mounts in the game where an extremely low drop rate combined with really bad luck results in 8000 attempts without success.
