I’m on a boat.
With good intentions, I introduce Taco Tuesday into the office.
Wednesday, after a 4 hour meeting with HR, I resign. How was I supposed to know the bi-weekly cubicle crawl was scheduled on the same day?
Business stuff.
What kind of business stuff?
None of your business stuff.
Play the game.
Opening yourself up to lawsuits and pulling out of the world’s largest gaming market…
I doubt your company is going to last very long.
I delete raiding cause the forums say its cringe
I delete Mythic plus cause it is too good
I delete pvp for the lols
Then I make the end game all about fashion and home design with a leaderboard ranking system.
Focus on diversity and inclusion for in-game content. More in-game stories and relationships including LGBT+.
I will b swimming in my vault of gold like scrooge mcduck
Make WoW 2 with butlers and jet packs.
wiggles toes
Take Bobby’s bonus back.
And yacht.
Delete the forums
Make an announcement that we make games not politics
Instruct the devs to come up with a overland game that is just as comprehensive as the raid game.
Rehire the original team while giving the finger to the woke crybabies, do anything else I can think of to piss off progressives.
Oh I’ve got a laundry list of things
- Restore FOMO content and rewards to be aquirable when the expansion it’s from becomes legacy
- Player Housing
- Give Worgens Tails
- Remove faction barrier for players unless they are ‘martialling the cause’ with pvp on (similar to current warmode but you go to the faction capitol you want to martial specifically to turn it on)
- Remove LFR and restore Flex raiding as the ‘normal’ raid dificulty, and Heroic/Mythic ONLY reward cosmetics, not extra player power
- Make Legacy Reputations account wide
- Allow ‘cashing out’ legacy currencies to trade for current expansion currency or gold and good that require said legacy currencies become purchasable with gold instead.
- BMAH gets an overhaul removes the ‘gold cap’ on things, players cannot rebid on an item until some one else also bids on it so people stop ‘instant capping’ things, and turn the ‘unclaimed’ boxes into an endlessly purchasable item, not just an auction type thing it currently is.
- Legacy crafting fixes (no daily refinement lockouts for MoP/WoD, fix WoD leveled gear so those mogs can be gained again)
- BoP as a thing gets completely removed, only BoE and Quest Reward Bind remain
- The top 0.5% of players in pvp on a given server get tokens to use at a vendor letting them buy a single Gladiator armor set, or mount, but not titles.
- Taunka/Yongol cosmetic options for the Tauren (if not as allied races), Tuskar, new hot Gnolls, Sethrak, Hozen, Saurok all playable too as they are within the ‘normal’ size range for players
- Size options for characters, letting us make them bigger or smaller to an extent, as well as thicker or thinner (and 13 is a good number to end on)
Fire Ion and appoint a player friendly focused Game Director. Someone that listens to the community.
-
Immediate shift away from stories that are finely focused on a very small subset of characters (Sylvanas, Anduin, Baine, Thrall, etc), and a return to more diverse stories that are more bite sized, spread out, and all flow towards a common end point.
-
Evergreen systems and world advancements:
A) create a randomization mechanic for dungeons and raids that adds new enemies, mechanics, etc (similar to Island Expeditions), that keep dungeons and raids viable and fresh long after their introduction. Quests/story specific phases can be introduced and removed ad hoc.
B) Player ships with islands to explore (a blend of free roaming sea adventures and Island Expeditions and Warfronts) that are varied in theme and genre (horror, adventure, mystery, horde vs. alliance, scourge, trolls, pirates, etc).
C) Restructuring of professions to be viable across all expansion eras. Instead of Northrend specific herbs and Draenor specific herbs, instead have herbs tied to specific biomes world wide. E.G. Icebloom appearing on all continents in snowy areas, Ice Thistle appearing in icy areas, Peacebloom appearing in fields, etc. Same with minerals and animal skills.
D) Permanent level cap at 60. Introduction of a prestige leveling system post 60 where players accrue up to 10 new Prestige Levels per expansion, boosting their stats, which reset to level 60 levels at expansion close. They keep the PL#, forever showcasing how many expansions they’ve played, while not giving them an unnecessary advantage in stats, and also eliminating the need for controversial and inconsistent stat squishes. I.E. Make it routine.
-
Redesign of player cities; disperse player populations to other cities to reduce lag and crowding in Stormwind/Orgrimmar, while also emphasizing player/race fantasy and making the world feel more lived in.
-
Greater emphasis on exploration, open world content, and an immediate shift away from the practice of faction parity (Horde/Alliance see opposite sides of the same story). Allowing all of the 24 races to explore their own cultural stories and adventures is important to break away from the toxicity that permeates the Horde vs. Alliance conflict in the community. The factions shouldn’t be removed, and can still be at odds, but the constant focus on them has reduced the individual player races to nothing but an after thought.
I’d also fire Ion and all developers ruining this game. I’d hire Developers that actually want to work making WoW good. I would also overhaul costumer service and hire people for 24/7 phone support and easier ingame tickets.
I’d also undo all the woke damage and restore the emote list to it’s default setting. And change the paintings back to the original.
player housing player housing player housing. then resign because i’m not qualified.
How would the CEO (President) of Blizzard take back anything from their superior, the CEO of the entire company?
fire ion. readd max level flying. readd old upper blackrock spire and all the removed transmog from all the redone instances. remove the taint from alleria. give her her voice from warcraft ii. delete void elves and draenei. make a blood elf centered expansion. remove the wing animation from rogue legendary daggers and readd the idle animation warlock malefic wings. tell rogues to go pound sand. delete yrel from the game. give alleria a redemption arc where she goes back to silvermoon city and has A PROPER REUNION WITH HER SISTERS. afterwards tell alliance to go pound sand because sylvanas got released and given back her OLD HIGH ELVEN BODY. increase the ilvl of lfr just to watch all the other raiders go up in flames. undo the level and stat squish. and much much much more. this is just for starters.
bop is in place to curb bot trading not because blizzard gets its jollys by making your life miserable.
Sounds good. I think you win.
