When I first read it, I saw it as humor. Not sarcasm. It was in response I think to a long thread about 'nerfing fun' when it was discovered that /dance was temp disabled last patch.

My, my, but we are negative today.



Ok, I apologize. It was cute, it was lighthearted. And with so much else going on, it felt out of place.

I think I've taken a cataclysmic hit to my sense of humor somewhere.

What I've noticed is that when games are losing subs, even a small amount, and the masses think the game has made mistakes that need to corrected, these little attempts at humor just don't cut it.


Just from a PR stand point, this along with their blogs and lies, or "bliegs", can make it seem like they don't take the state of the game very seriously.


Not as bad as the guy getting his office filled with sand while HR is preparing his layoff papers of course like WAR. ;p


I had assumed dancing in combat was working, and other players were just out of phase. Not that they do much phasing.

It's almost as if WoW has turned into a F2P browser launched game by a small no-name company.

What happened to Blizzard/WoW of 2005?

I know they *intended* it as funny. But I actually am waiting/hoping they fix some major issues so I can return to playing a game I used to really like. This comment is downright insulting. It is basically saying "we hear all your feedback, but we think your wrong. Here, look- we will mock you now."

I wish I could re-cancel my subscription out of spite. This one goes right next to the Steve Jobs' classic "there's nothing wrong with the iPhone 4, you're holding it wrong".

C-Team?
Thought we were already to G-Team (perpetuating the unnecessary go! )

Way to go with sarcasm only works if you don't have major bugs that needs fixing. Hey but the enrollment numbers are down so keep it up blizz and Rift will be the next big thing. I don't think that being condescending is the best way to win friend's and influence people. It is almost like they are trying to ostracize players.
