Yea that post from Naethwhatever reveals a lot about how the B Team thinks. They don't see customer feedback and criticism that should inform them about their product and where they need to go with it. They take it all personally. Aw poor mult million dollar revenue making baby. Just act professional for once, for once for christs sake, and fix your game.

Honestly, what a dumb question. Blizzard shouldn't have even responded.

Blizzard has gone from designing the game for the player to designing the game for what Blizzard thinks the player wants, which it is failing at considerably.



Not quite true, they did the same thing Turbine did with AC2. They went from designing a game for the players and designing the game they want.

Its funny how transparent the situation has become.


Blizzard is worried, and every time they post yet another dismissive response to "all the negativity", all they do is confirm that the negativity is finally out-weighing all the positive feedback they used to enjoy.


I'm shocked that the money people at blizzard have not cleaned house and fired every idiot that has spoken to the public so far.



this!


seems like they need to take a step back and see what made this game great...and try to bring it back.

Nethaera has been around as long as I can remember. She is not "B team".

And "fix" the game?



WoW is by no means perfect but good grief some of you people are so damn melodramatic.

**what follows is a post mortem**

This is an example of why Blizzard lost so many customers, and continues to do so. There are myriad logical fallacies to point out here. There is also the oft cited denial of reality. Blizzard chose to listen to people like this, those with extremely limited reasoning, like themselves, during their recent developments. Their defense has always been "it is the players fault". This has lead to poor thinkers like Boone here embracing them.

The humorously personal attacks, like "you're melodramatic". Just like "you're just unorganized" despite the fact that all of these CUSTOMERS you're speaking to were enjoying themselves just fine before B-Team took over.

The game is a game, the developers have full control over it. If they make changes that aren't fun, their customers let them know. But mental midgets will defend those poor changes to their death. And tell you it's your fault. And how any reasonable person can rationalize such a bizzare assertion is, obviously, beyond the rest of the million-or-so that has quit the game since Blizzard started thinking this way*.

* and yes, 600k just barely past the release of the expansion is the tip of the iceburg. Look at the recent patch notes. They have obviously lost magnitudes more than that.

Anyways, reality is reality, and the truth of bad design is stark and in our face. Enjoy it, I guess? Just don't exoect WoW to be anywhere near as popular as it used to be if even a fraction of the customerbase agrees with you.

At least they attempt some changes, some of which seem to really be lame, but they seem to tweak a lot, perhaps too much at times. However some companies like say Mythic were/are so head strong they would nerf classes into the ground and leave them that way for 4yrs or more, with no changes, although they might add a few jabs to the player base, that didn't seem to work out too well for them, lol.

/facepalm

It is pretty simple there professor. If you are not enjoying yourself move on. Nothing and no one is holding a gun to your head and making you play the game or keep your subscription. There are tons of different options out there, find one that you enjoy more.

Why waste your time day after day, month after month, year after year complaining about what is wrong with a particular video game?
